Don't listen to Phil, bronz. The guy literally supports the Italians.

You're not nearly that stupid to believe the U.S. has any shot at winning.

They might win against Ghana!

Differs from OTL after 1896

#25: William Jennings Bryan (D-NE) / Arthur Sewall (D-ME): 1897 - 1905
The Progressive wings of both parties join in 1903 to form the People's Union. The big tent leftist party is joined by the President and the Vice President, and recieves support especially in the Midwest and West.
#26: William Joel Stone (P-MO) / William Howard Taft (P-OH): 1905 - 1909
#27: William Howard Taft (P-OH) / John Worth Kern (P-IN)*: 1909 - 1917
Conservative and pro-business forces throughout the country join together to form the American Union. The party draws equal support from conservative Democrats and Republicans, which fade into irrelevance.
#28: Alton Brooks Parker (A-NY) / John Sharp Williams (A-MS): 1917 - 1921
The Parker administration enters the ongoing European war on the side of Britain, France and Russia, to the dissatisfaction of many Progressives.
#29: Robert Marion LaFollette (P-WI)* / James Middleton Cox (P-OH): 1921 - 1925
#30: James Middleton Cox (P-OH) / Franklin Delano Roosevelt (P-NJ): 1925 - 1929
#31: Franklin Delano Roosevelt (P-NJ) / Henry Agard Wallace (P-IA): 1929 - 1937
When a great depression strikes the country in 1929, President Roosevelt soon takes succesfull measures to combat recession and unemployment.
#32: Henry Agard Wallace (P-IA) / Alf Landon (P-KS): 1937 - 1941
After nearly twenty years of People's Union presidency and unsuccesful elections, the American Union morphes into the Conservative Party in 1938. In the same time, the People's Union splits over the issue of war involvement in Europe, into the center-left, isolationist New Democratic Party, named after the old isolationist Democrats of Bryan, backed by the President; and the centrist, interventionist Liberal Party backed by the Vice President. 
#33: Robert Taft (C-OH) / John Jason Sparkman (C-AL): 1941 - 1949

The 1940 Election:

Senator Robert Taft (C-OH) / Senator John Sparkman (C-AL): 376 EV's
Vice President Alf Landon (L-KS) / Senator Harry Truman (L-MO): 95 EV's
President Henry Wallace (ND-IA) / Governor Earl Warren (ND-CA): 60 EV's

So Hillary Clinton has been arrested?

Sorry, couldn't resist

As far as Atlastian bigotry is concerned, the Mormon variety isn't one that blips my radar.

Cuomo vs. NAMBLA?

I'd certainly vote Cuomo in that one!

If there were a terror in this country, it'd be conducted by the ludicrously highly-armed and widespread reactionary movement in this country. I wouldn't be rooting for a terror if I were you, it's infinitely more likely to be white than red.

Yeah, seriously. No kind of "terror" or revolution will be happening in America any time soon, but if one were to happen, it would be much more likely for it to be from the millions of gun wielding far right lunatics rather than the few thousand dialectical materialism brochure wielding communists.

I had a dream that my grandma (who died a few years ago at age 93, with dementia) was alive and well.  She was sharp and was using technology (she never even had a computer IRL).  For some reason, she was texting Jesse Jackson.

In the same dream, my aunt got attacked by a bald eagle.

     In my experience liberalism in a significant other is a major hangup for conservative women in a way it isn't for conservative men.

This is very true. 

As Jesse Watters put it, "It doesn't matter if she's a Communist if she's hot." 

I agree.

[RR1997]

It is.

Hillary is proven to have murdered Vince Foster.
Hillary says she will nuke Iran if she gets elected.
Hillary says that CA is a stupid, gay hellhole.
Hillary claims that all men are sexist and should be deported.

And even then, Republicans would narrowly lose it.

California über Alles! Long live Jerry Brown!

Safe to say that anyone named Crescent is probably a huge douche.

Rubio is an empty suit who would be exposed as such as soon as the first debate if not before that.

Good point. I voted Walker, but Rubio is actually a really weak candidate. People only assume he's good because he's young, attractive, and Hispanic but in reality he's a horrible speaker.

Unironic use of the term "Neoliberalism" = HCS.

I don't have the time to write a five page essay right now. I have to leave the Shining City on a Hill for the airport in a few minutes. So the Forum is spared my prolixity - for once!

People getting offended by Happy Holidays! or Merry Christmas! is silly. Both, tilt HP. Voted Horrible
