Sanders wins Iowa - 2016 TL

Another fascinating timeline.  Please keep going with this....

I always thought Maine Gov. Paul LePage (a two-termer by 2016) would be Trump’s ideal running mate.  The two are so alike that they’d get along quite nicely.  And they are only two years apart.

Would there be interest in restarting this?

Oh I do, I have a rough outline until the 2020 election night. I just wondered if anyone was interested in reading my posts

Not everyone is commenting, but I can assure you we are reading them.  And I’d rather you continue with this timeline rather than start over, which can be irritating.

This is a fascinating election.  With two outsider candidates (and not just one) and the strongest third party candidate since 1992, it is difficult to predict how the 2016 election would have gone.

2020 ELECTION RESULT - Sanders defeats Trump and Bloomberg, wins the White House

In an outcome that would have had the pundits laughing it off just a year ago, Vermont Senator and self-avowed socialist Bernie Sanders was able to win the White House over Republican nominee Donald Trump and Independent candidate Michael Bloomberg. While the early results showed some hope for the Trump campaign, by 10 PM it was already pretty clear that Trump was not performing well enough, particularly in the suburbs, where he bled a lot of moderate Republicans to the Bloomberg candidacy, and among the white working class voters, who went for Sanders in larger than expected numbers. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren won 318 Electoral Votes and 43,9% of the popular vote. Donald Trump and Sarah Palin won 214 Electoral Votes and 38,1% of the popular vote. Sanders triumphantly declared victory, and while young people across the country and the liberal wing of the Democrats celebrated in the streets of major urban centers, the Democratic establishment was watching with great concern the events, and major riots took place in conservative areas, especially in the South. Both Trump and Palin declared themselves the winners and tried to egg on the rioters. Donald Trump tweeted that: "A communist coup took place in November when they stole millions of votes from our movement! We must not stand for it! Better DEAD than RED!", a statement which only further inflamed the angry conservatives and led to Trump's account being suspended. Palin also said live on Fox News that the rebirth of the USSR must be met with fire and fury. It is clear that America will not see peace anytime soon following the most divisive election in its history.


Note: Thought this deserved a proper ending in any case as I am currently not sure if I want to restart it

I loved every moment of this timeline.  Just one thing, regarding the title of this post -did you mean 2016 instead of 2020?  Or did I miss something while reading through this?
