The Prequel of a Dynasty: An American House of Cards

Act I: 1940



Amb. Joseph Kennedy/Sec. Cordell Hull: 509 E. Votes, 61.3%
Fmr. Amb. Hanford MacNider/Gov. Arthur James: 25 E. Votes, 37.3%

In late 1939, President Roosevelt suffered a crippling heart attack, leaving him unable to govern. Roosevelt then suffered a subsequent stroke, leading to complete body paralysis and him communicating by blinking, or tapping a pen. Vice President Garner went against many of the now even more crippled President's wishes, and decided to run for president, claiming he "was the real president". Ambassador Kennedy declared his interest in running for the Presidency, causing a major stir in the Democratic Party. Vice President Garner invited Kennedy to be his running mate, but Kennedy declined. He stated that if Garner did not drop out, he would blackmail him with crippling information, launching the country into chaos. Garner decided to drop out, and was promised to be Secretary of Agriculture. Kennedy cleared Secretary of State Cordell Hull from possibly being a candidate by offering him the Vice Presidency. The Democratic Primary was rigged for Kennedy, while the Republicans had a very open one. Former President Herbert Hoover, Senator Arthur Vandenburg and Governor Alf Landon were all in fierce competition, resulting in Former WW1 hero Hanford MacNider winning the Republican Nomination, after giving a good evening speech to the delegates. MacNider was forced to choose someone with experience to be his running mate, but was denied by all major candidates except for Former President Hoover and new Governor of Pennsylvania Arthur James. MacNider chose James. Kennedy had the charisma, the star power, and the promise of no new war. Kennedy slammed MacNider as a "relic of old times", and secretly ran ads out of the KKK accusing the war hero as being involved in homosexual acts. Kennedy promised no war in Europe, and challenged MacNider to a debate. MacNider initially declined, but was forced to, where he was bashed by both Kennedy and the Audience. Ambassador Kennedy was elected to the presidency in a landslide, and upon hearing the news, the paralyzed President Roosevelt shed a tear. He would have another stroke ten days after President-elect Kennedy was inaugurated.

(Damn, I got deep. Was that good?)

Kerry/Gephardt in '04!!



Sen. John Kerry/Rep. Dick Gephardt: 295 Electoral Votes, 48.9%
Pres. George W. Bush/V.P. Dick Cheney: 243 Electoral Votes, 48.6%

John Kerry selecte House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt as his running mate, though seen as "boring", Kerry's prediciton holds true. Gephardt somehow manages to serve as a good attack dog and protects the Rust Belt. Missouri and a couple other blue collar states go into Kerry's column. At 2 A.M, Bush concedes. The Kerry administration started off rough, with Iraq, and a general unease in the country. Kerry is unable to get out of Iraq, and the Economy is going in a downward spiral. After a close encounter with an Iranian jet in the Strait of Hormuz, a U.S destroyer was commanded not to fire even though it had been struck with several machine gun rounds in its hull, killing 2 U.S Navy sailors. The destroyer is ordered to retreat due to Kerry's "negotiations". Secretary of State Bill Richardson resigns in protest, yet declines to challenge Kerry. Kerry's approvals sink to the 30's by late 2007, and Representative Dennis Kucinich challenges him for the Democratic nomination, yet only wins five states: Vermont, Oregon, Alaska, West Virginia, and Montana, just coming up short in Ohio. Kerry is failing at home and abroad, and the Republicans select John McCain as their nominee, and McCain selects Senator Olympia Snowe as VP (Despite McCain vetting Fmr. Pres. Bush for the job, Bush declines for the good of the country.) McCain is portrayed as "the New Coming of Reagan", and in August, the Housing bubble pops, economic meltdown sets in. Kerry is destroyed in the debates by a hopeful McCain. Election Night comes, Kerry had no chance.

Swiftboated!!



Sen. John McCain/Sen. Olympia Snowe: 376 Electoral Votes, 54.2%
Pres. John Kerry/V.P. Dick Gephardt: 162 Electoral Votes, 42.9%

The McCain Administration started off with big hopes, big changes. The economy was in shambles, but the GOP Revolution of 2006 helped him pass key domestic legislation quickly. The McCain Administration was no dove on foreign policy, and quickly imposed strict sanctions on the "Axis of Evil" nations. Secretary of State Lieberman had met several leaders in the first 100 days. Olympia Snowe used her connections in the Senate to pass sensible VA care, and got the economy rebounding by 2010. Democrats made gains in 2010, but they were very narrow and the GOP still had a majority. McCain had a 50% approval rating by the start of 2011.  Iraq kept dragging his situation down, yet he had got the job done quicker. On January 23rd, 2011, The last U.S combat forces pulled out of Iraq. Weeks later, the primaries got new entries. The Democratic front runners were Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Though the Dem field was still interesting.... It included former SoS Bill Richardson, NC Gov. John Edwards, Senator Bernie Sanders, 2008 runner up Dennis Kucinich, Senator Joe Biden, Senator Chris Dodd, and Activist Michael Moore. After the early primaries, Clinton took great Super Tuesday leads. Obama and Sanders won states though, but after both candidates withdrew, the Democrats seemed unified. Hillary Clinton chose Barack Obama as her running mate, and the polls showed the voters wanted Clinton. After an intense election season, and the economy recovering, the election became closer. McCain seemed clueless in the first debate, but destroyed Clinton in the next two. Alas, election night had arrived.

I always thought that a Kerry/Gephardt ticket would have beaten Bush/Cheney. Gephardt and Vilsack were safe choices for Kerry instead of slick Edwards.

Yeah, same here. He should have chosen Gephardt. But he'd lose pretty bad in '08. I may actually edit the TL hold on brb

Stability in Politics?



Sen. Hillary Clinton/Sen. Barack Obama: 271 Electoral Votes, 49.5%
Pres. John McCain/V.P. Olympia Snowe: 267 Electoral Votes, 48.0%

Three states were too close to call when Election Night came. Maine was a lot closer than expected, and though it was originally in the "Likely Hillary" column, Snowe delivered 3 of Maine's 4 Electoral Votes for McCain. New Hampshire, decided by a few thousand votes, for Hillary. Virginia was decided by 737 votes, and called at around 7:37 AM two days after the election. McCain conceded and wished Clinton the best. The Clinton administration started off rocky, with a hostage situation at the U.S Embassy in Benghazi due to the Civil War. The Libyan Government shot down U.S rescue forces and executed Ambassador Stevens. The President's approval ratings went down to 35%, and she got none of her domestic agenda through with a GOP congress. Clinton was forced to invade Libya, supporting southeastern Rebel forces. The situation was eerily similar to Iraq's, and by the time of the 2014 midterms, voters felt betrayed, they felt hundreds of U.S servicemens' lives was on Hillary's hands. The Republicans made several gains in both the House and the Senate. In 2015, a scandal broke out about The Clinton foundation's involvement in Haiti and evidence was found that criminal wrongdoing happened. Articles of impeachment were introduced by Representatives Louie Gohmert and Marsha Blackburn. She was impeached by both the House and the Senate, and Vice President Obama took office on May 1st, 2015. Obama quickly pardoned Clinton, and cleared the "potential problems" of Clinton's cabinet, getting a new staff and a few new ambassadors. Obama announced his intention to not seek a full term, but to serve out his term to save the country. The Democrats were in disarray, it's superstars were gone, they needed a savior. Many high prominent democrats declined to run, fearing a potential McCain(?!) comeback. Former SoS Bill Richardson was the first to announce his candidacy, then Fmr. Gov Martin O'Malley, Senator Jim Webb, Senator Amy Klobuchar, Governor Andrew Cuomo, and Senator Bernie Sanders. There was strong populist sentiments, and Bernie took several states, knocking his closest competition out by April. The Republicans were much more divisive, Ted Cruz and former VA Sec. Jim Gilmore won Iowa, and NH, respectively. SC went to Bobby Jindal and Nevada went to Cruz. Eventually, Cruz won the nomination. By July, and the conventions ending, it was dead heat. Obama distanced himself from partisanship, and just tried to make the Libya situation easier on his successor. After months of a tough, destructive campaign, Bernie Sanders/Al Franken faced off against Ted Cruz/Jim Gilmore.

Conservative Revolution



Sen. Ted Cruz/Fmr. Sec. Jim Gilmore: 308 Electoral Votes, 49.3%
Sen. Bernie Sanders/Sen. Al Franken: 230 Electoral Votes: 45.6%
Fmr. Gov. Gary Johnson/Fmr. Rep. Kerry Bentvolio: 3.5%

2016: The Runner Up takes the nod



Fmr. SoS. Hillary Clinton/Sen. Tim Kaine: 308 Electoral Votes, 48.9%
Fmr. Sen. Rick Santorum/Gov. Mary Fallin: 230 Electoral Votes, 45.6%
Fmr. Gov. Gary Johnson/Fmr. Rep. Kerry Bentivolio: 0 Electoral Votes, 4.0%

The 2016 Republican Primaries were won by the 2012 runner up, Rick Santorum. Originally placing low in the polls, the conservative movement rallied behind Santorum after his repeat of an "Iowa miracle" becoming the conservative standbearer of the party. New Hanpshire, South Carolina, and Nevada didn't go his way, but he carried the most states on Super Tuesday. By May, he was the nominee. Few people wanted to be his running mate due to his "stupid, uninformed" comments. Hillary Clinton narrowly won the Democratic nomination against Senator Bernie Sanders. After the conventions, Santorum took the lead. But the debates showed Santorum as a crazy right wing nut job, and when election night came, Clinton won.

1996: Remember your ABC's: Alexander Beats Clinton:



Fmr. Gov. Lamar Alexander/Sen. John McCain: 279 Electoral Votes, 48.5%
Pres. Bill Clinton/VP. Al Gore: 259 Electoral Votes, 45.3%
Mr. Ross Perot/Fmr. Sen. David Boren: 0 Electoral Votes, 6.0%

Lamar Alexander beats out Bob Dole, Phil Gramm, and Pat Buchanan for the Republican Nomination. Buchanan supporters trust Alexander's pledge to "recheck" NAFTA to make sure it would be beneficial for the American worker at the convention, so Perot's numbers dwindle. President Clinton finds Alexander hard to beat, as he tries to appear "hip and cool" at a debate while Alexander debated the issues. Both thrived in the town hall debate. When Election Night came, it was close, the race was in dead heat. Eventually, the Former Tennessee Governor had been named the President-Elect.

2000: Re-elect Lamar!



Pres. Lamar Alexander/VP. John McCain: 320 Electoral Votes, 51.3%
Sen. Bill Bradley/Gov. Gary Locke: 218 Electoral Votes, 47.6%

President Alexander immediately filled his cabinet with experienced officials, cut government waste, and was seen as a bipartisan reformer, not from the era of Gingrich. The nation was in an economic boom, Alexander had re-negotiated NAFTA, and the U.S was not bogged down in any interventions. In 1999, Gingrich was ousted and had been replaced by Dennis Hastert. The Democrats were not united in 2000, with the fight for the nomination being mainly between Former New Jersey Senator Bill Bradley, Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, and West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller. Bill Bradley eventually defeated Kerry around May, and was the nominee. Alexander held a lead for most of the campaign, but did have a couple gaffes here and there, but Bradley was painted as too liberal. Alexander cruised to re-election on Election Night, although the popular vote total was much closer than expected.

2004: President McCain?Sad



VP. John McCain/Gov. Tommy Thompson: 301 Electoral Votes, 50.1%
Sen. John Kerry/Sen. Jon Corzine: 237 Electoral Votes, 46.1%

In September 2001, President Alexander's honeymoon period was cut short when Al Qaeda terrorists attacked Boston streets, as well as an attempt at Times Square. 34 civilians were killed in the attacks, while 4 gunmen were killed, but up to 19 were later discovered to be involved, all of whom were busted days after the attacks. Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the attack, and President Alexander vowed to hunt down the perpetrators and their leader, Osama Bin Laden. The Taliban declined to turn over Bin Laden, so U.S troops launched strikes against Talibani positions, and encouraged a local government coup. By October, 50,000 U.S troops had surrounded remaining Talbiani positions, and Osama Bin Laden tried to escape but was captured by local tribesmen. The U.S would stay until 2005, but Alexander enjoyed a 57% approval rating by 2003. VP John McCain beat back Texas Governor George Bush for the nomination, with a couple other Republicans running. The Democrats were again not united. The 2000 runner up, John Kerry had beat back the 2000 VP Nominee Gary Locke, Former Senator Gary Hart. McCain touted his experience, and the country's prosperity as reasons he should be elected throughout the whole campaign. Kerry never got his steam, and was doomed to lose in 2004.

Reagan/Ford!!!



Fmr. Gov. Ronald Reagan/Fmr. Pres. Gerald Ford: 483 Electoral Votes, 53.1%
Pres. Jimmy Carter/VP. Walter Mondale: 55 Electoral Votes, 44.3%

The RNC was in suspense of who would be Ronald Reagan's running mate, however a deal was made with Former President Ford, who agreed to be VP. George Bush was passed over, however he would get a job in the Cabinet. At the Republican Convention, Republicans seemed United for Reagan, Anderspn decided to end his third party ambitions, and endorse Reagan. This gave Carter some more southern support, but on Election night, the President was destroyed.

1968 - JFK Lives


288 EV: Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D-MN)/Sen. Ed Muskie (D-ME) - 45.35%
205 EV: Gov. Nelson Rockefeller (R-NY)/Gov. George Romney (R-MI) - 41.28%
45 EV: Gov. George Wallace (I-AL)/Gen. Curtis LeMay (I-CA) - 13.05

President Kennedy survives an assassin's bullet in 1963, goes on to win a landslide re-election over Barry Goldwater the following year, and has a largely successful second term during which much of the New Frontier is signed into law and the Vietnam War is brought to a close. In 1968, the Democrats nominate Hubert Humphrey over Vice President George Smathers, who is viewed as too conservative for an increasingly emboldened liberal party. Seeking a corrective from Goldwater, the GOP puts forward his former rival, Nelson Rockefeller, who faces tough opposition from Governor Ronald Reagan (Richard Nixon opts not to run in this scenario). George Wallace, meanwhile, mounts an independent candidacy in opposition to the 'liberal elitists' selected by the two major parties. In the end, Humphrey capitalizes on a booming economy and peace abroad to earn a narrow EC majority, claiming a mandate to carry on the policies of the popular outgoing president - but, reflecting social unrest at home and perhaps a nation uncomfortable with the pace of change, fails to gain a majority of the popular vote. Early post-election observers argue that President Kennedy has bequeathed to his party a 'blue wall' comprised of the emergent Democratic lock on the entirety of the northeast and west coast, new strongholds which more than made up for the party's recent collapse in most of the south and Rockefeller's inroads into the industrial midwest.

Don’t mind me, but sorry I’m gonna post a 1972 to this just to test sum out my dude

1972-The Reagan Revolution



Gov. Ronald Reagan/Sen. Howard Baker: 407 Electoral Votes, 54.5%
Pres. Hubert Humphrey/Fmr. Sen. Wayne Morse: 131 Electoral Votes, 45.1%

President Humphrey started off having to deal with a lot of problems. His presidency is viewed as being incompetent, and well, amateur. President Humphrey helped bring an end to the Vietnam War in 1970, with a Korean War like resolution with a Civil War in the South starting up in 1972, with Humphrey refusing to send troops to South Vietnam and rumors of a North Vietnamese invasion. President Humphrey has also dealt with economic troubles at home. Fearing being humiliated, Ed Muskie decided to retire as Vice President, and former liberal superstar Wayne Morse replaced him as running mate due to lack of interest. The chaos inspires 1968 runner up, Ronald Reagan to win the GOP Nomination. Former Vice President Nixon was interested in running and led many polls, however Reagan promised him the Secretary of State position if he didn’t run. Nixon took this deal, and Reagan steamrolled over the GOP opposition, which mainly came from Senator Charles Mathias. George Wallace almost challenged Humphrey, but decided not to. President Humphrey was a poor campaigner, and had lost “Kennedy’s Blue Wall” on Election Night.

1976-The return of Camelot



Sen. Ted Kennedy/Fmr. Gov. Jimmy Carter: 372 Electoral Votes, 53.4%
Pres. Ronald Reagan/VP. Howard Baker: 166 Electoral Votes, 44.1%

President Reagan made big promises on the campaign trail in ‘72, but failed to deliver. The Administration immediately sent troops back into what was an unpopular war, although the South Vietnamese Civil war was won many liberals were immediately alienated. Secretary of State Nixon resigned less than a year after taking office, and was replaced by Henry Kissinger. President Reagan’s hardline views on social matters further alienated moderates, leading to 1974 losses. The “Make America Great Again Movement” had put the Democrats in disarray back in 1972, but its effects’ were still lingering. The party looked to Humphrey, who declined due to health issues. The party needed another Kennedy, or a continuation of his policies. Senator Ted Kennedy, who narrowly escaped an assassination attempt had the backing of his brother, John. Former Governor Carter stunned the world with a win in Iowa, and after a hard fought Primary, Ted Kennedy won. Senator Kennedy decided to offer Carter the VP slot, and it worked. The Kennedy vs Reagan debates were one of the most viewed in history, and most likely were one of the prime reasons that (in Lee Atwater and Roger Stone’s words): “Reagan got his a** handed to him on election night”.

2004: We can do better, America.



Sen. John McCain/Fmr. Gov. Jim Gilmore: 280 Electoral Votes, 48.1%
Pres. Al Gore/Gov. Ed Rendell: 258 Electoral Votes, 46.7%

The President started off his administration following a controversial 2000 Election fiasco, this starting off with low approval ratings. The September 11th attacks happen and it is found out that a memo supposedly warning of the attacks was ignored by a President Gore, however it wasn’t even placed on his desk. Republicans make big news of this and gain in the 2002 Midterms. The President invaded Afghanistan after the attacks, but in 2003 a Taliban surge threatens the U.S prescense there. Rumors of potential Iraqi WMDs are met with hostility by President Gore. Vice President Lieberman even in public criticized Gore for this, and declined to run for a second term with Gore. Secretary of State Biden also declined the running mate position, perhaps in favor for a 2008 bid. Although the economy was decent, and with Gore’s great environmental strides, Senator John McCain used the political environment to his advantage, and defeated President Gore for another term.

2004: Re-elect Gore in ‘04!



Fmr. VP. Al Gore/Sen. Bob Graham: 291 Electoral Votes, 49.2%
Pres. George W. Bush/Sen. Mike DeWine: 247 Electoral Votes, 47.7%

The Presidency of George Walker Bush is remarkably uneventful, yet on the domestic front, he was a typical Republican President. He passed a huge tax cuts bill, No Child Left Behind, and other domestic laws. Nothing big happens on the foreign policy front, and he’s seen as a sitting duck president. A few prominent democrats run for the 2004 Democratic Nomination, but all are destroyed in landslide victories by former VP Al Gore. By the time the 2004 Republican Convention rolls around, foreign policy isn’t really a big deal, and Bush can have a better running mate to win states anyways, so Cheney privately states he would accept a position as Secretary of Defense if replaced from the ticket. The campaign is mundane, but Gore makes a lot of promises for “a sound America”, and wins the popular vote a second time, and wins the Electoral College.

1996: ‘64 all over again:



President Al Gore/Vice President Lee Hamilton: 495 Electoral Votes, 57.8%
Fmr. WH Comms. Dir. Pat Buchanan/Rep. Bob Dornan: 43 Electoral Votes, 41.2%

In September 1994, President Clinton was shot while visiting a diner and campaigning for Democratic candidates in Boulder, Colorado. The shooter was identified as a radical former Ross Perot/Pat Buchanan supporter who had communist tendencies, John Lee Jefferson, who was executed four months later. This incident put the country in a state of disarray. President Gore was sworn in, and decided to select Representative Lee Hamilton as Vice President, and he was confirmed by the Senate. The ticket stressed the progress Bill Clinton had made in office, while focusing on what President Gore was going to do in office. The main candidates for the Republicans decided to skip this election, causing Republican Pat Buchanan to narrowly win the nomination. President Gore easily crushes the Buchanan/Dornan ticket come November.

2020: Eminem vs the Donald



Gov. Marshall B. Mathers III (D-MI)/Sen. Krysten Sinema (D-AZ): 299 Electoral Votes, 50.1%
Pres. Donald Trump (R-NY)/VP. Mike Pence (R-IN): 239 Electoral Votes, 46.7%

In late 2016, a recall election is scheduled in Michigan, coinciding with the 2016 Presidential Election. While Donald Trump narrowly carries Michigan against Hillary Clinton, “Eminem” is elected Governor, bringing Dan Kildee along as Lieutenant Governor, partially rapping in a debate with Governor Snyder about his handling of the Flint Water Crisis. Eminem becomes the leading critic to Donald Trump throughout his administration, going to many music awards to bash him. After winning re-election in 2018 with a landslide, he takes it as a blessing from the people of Michigan to run for President. He throws his hat into the ring and roasts his Democratic opponents as being “corporatist” on the stage, and reveals a lot about his upbringing. He wins the Nomination carrying most of the states, and decides to select freshman Senator Krysten Sinema as running mate. President Trump tries to portray Eminem’s past and previous life as a weapon against him in the debates, and Eminem completely roasts him about the state of the country and his administration. Rural White America is insulted, but the rest of the country agrees. On the campaign trail, Mike Pence and Paul Ryan attempt to rap but fails miserably, being criticized by Eminem who was also in Wisconsin at the time. On Election Night, the presidency is called for the Governor of Michigan, and many days later, Pennsylvania was called for Trump by fifteen votes.
