Garrison Porter is like the gift that keeps on giving, moreso than Senator Larry Craig of Idaho. Here's his latest gift to the Atlas Forum produced by a post from the Election What-If's board regarding Garrison Porter for President 2040. I feel sorry for you Americans....

Garrison Porter graduates colege in 2019, after an eight year long education at Harvard University. Porter graduates with a major in teaching and a minor in political science. Porter chooses to not get married immeaditly. Porter teaches american history at the middle and high school age level back in Knoxville, Tennessee, from fall of 2019 until spring of 2024. Porter marries in 2022. In the 2026 mid term elections, Porter runs for a seat in the house and wins narrowly. Porter is reelected once and then runs for the senate. In the 2036 election, Porter runs for the republican nomination. Porter is defeated by incumbent President Johsua Cottrell, a former Michigan governor and a relativly unpopular incumbent President, in the republican primaries. However, the vote is close and it goes to the convention. There is no nominee on the first ballot and Porter looses on the second ballot. Joshua Cottrell goes on to loose the fall election to former ambassador to the UN and New Jersey senator, Angelina Brunometzger.

Brunometzger's term is one of bad times. North Korea attacks the US in the form of a nuclear attack in 2037. President Brunometzger promises ferce action against Korea. She sends troops to Korea and begins the American-Korean War. President Brunometzger is attacked by all parties in the congress and her approval ratings drop to record low levels. Brunometzger is also faced with an economy in a recession at home. The 2038 mid term elections show the congress taken over by the republicans for the first time since 2002. Brunometzger still has to deal with a record number of casualties as the American-Korean War continues with no end in sight. The economy continues to be in a recession.

In late 2039, President Brunometzger announces her candidacy for reelection. She is challenged by former governor of California Jessica A. Wallis. Wallis is defeated in the primaries and drops out after Super Tuesday. Brunometzger is renominated unamiously on the first ballot at the democratic national covention. Brunometzger decides to keep her vice president Bill Jackson on the ticket. Jackson is renominated by voice vote.

On the republican side, Garrison Porter announces his candidacy on January 1st 2040 for the GOP nomination. He faces again former President Joshua Cotrell and other minor candidates for the GOP nomination. After strong showings in the first few primaries and a sweep of the South Carolina primary and the Super Tuesday states, Porter locks the nomination up and his former opponents endorse him. Porter is nominated unamiously on the first ballot at the GOP convention. Porter chooses an old friend, a successful business man, and a well respected congressman Cody Brabston of Oregon as his running mate. Brabston is nominated by voice vote.

As the campaign heats up, the American-Korean War continues and the economy continues to be in a recession.

Discuss this campaign with maps.
