2016 Presidential Election
The GOP decides to nominate Enderman, a moderate Libertarian, after a divisive primary.
After Clinton's tragic death due to sickness and Warren's refusal to be a candidate, the Dems nominate TNF, a strong committed leftist.
Enderman campaigns against TNF as out of the mainstream and portrays himself as "Common-sense Jack to get America Back on Track" and "We Back Jack," stolen from the Kingston Senate campaign. The slogan sticks, and Jack wins.
Enderman-437
TNF-101
2020 Presidential election:
Following a deep recession and growing violence in the Middle East with US intervention in Syria and Israeli air strikes on Iran, congressman Zen Lunatic of New York emerges as a dark horse frontrunner in the Democratic primaries. He runs on a staunchly anti-war platform, promising to finally bring US troops home after two decades of war. With anti-war sentiment growing this becomes popular and he attracts an army of young supporters to his banner, many of whom do not remember a time when the United States was not at war. Domestically, he self describes as a moderate libertarian Democrat and promises to increase regulations on Wall Street while decreasing them on small business, he also promises an end to the war on drugs and student loan forgiveness. In a surprising move he picks a fellow congressman Jarred Polis of Colorado, the first openly gay candidate for national office and cruises to an easy victory.
