List of Alternate Presidents

[HisGrace]

A general alternate timeline

Nixon- 1961-1965
Barry Goldwater- 1965-1969 (Nixon's paranoia gets him in some other scandal in his first term, and Goldwater unseats him at the convention and wins on a wave of anti-establishment sentiment even though he's in the same party as Nixon)
Eugene McCarthy- 1969-1973 (The Vietnam War escalates, as it did in real life, with Goldwater possibly escalating it even further and going nuclear, leading to widespread international condemnation and unprecedented nuclear tension with the USSR, the Democrats nominate a hard line peace candidate in response and he wins)
Nelson Rockefeller- 1973-1979 (defeats McCarthy in a landslide as the nation reacts against his perceived radicalism and is easily reelected. Dies in 1979 as in real life. Likely would have chosen a conservative like Reagan or Dole as his running mate)
Reagan/Dole- 1979-1985
George H.W Bush- 1985-1993
Ross Perot- 1993-2001 (never exits the race here and his momentum only grows and grows)
Steve Forbes- 2001-2009 (captures much of Perot's anti-establishment coalition by being a businessman himself. Stays pro-choice in this timeline too, appealing to a wider variety of people)
Ron Paul- 2009-2017 (Due to Forbes' connection to Reform Party types (in this timeline still somewhat of a player at this point) limited government Republicans react more strongly to his anti-terrorism measures, creating an actual libertarian moment and the nomination of Paul. Instead of nominating someone super electable like Obama, the Dems to what the Republicans are doing now and throw a fit in their primary, noinating a Nader/Sanders/Kucinich type. The electorate is more afraid of a socialist than a rightist, so Paul wins)
Hillary Clinton elected in 2016 (This turns out exactly the same as this year. Trump gets nominated due to the Republican electorate being fed up with neo-liberalism, and concerns about terrorism (Paul wouldn't exactly be a hawk) while Clinton gets elected to the Senate earlier since Bill never becomes president, and is nominated for being moderate and electable while the "first woman" aspect also plays a bigger role since there hasn't been a black president)

A foreign policy GOP

Assuming the GOP nominates their candidates entirely based on foreign policy. The election outcomes stay the same

1952-1960- Same
1964- Henry Cabot Lodge
1968-1976 Same
1980-1984 George H.W. Bush (or Henry Kissinger if the Constitution gets amended. Did a thread about him running in 1980 in the alternate election forum)
1988-1992 George Schultz, or Bush (who likely would have been Sec. of State) in the Kissinger scenario)
1996- James Baker
2000-2004- Colin Powell
2008- David Petraeus
2012- John Huntsman
2016- Condoleezza Rice

A Kennedy Dynasty

JFK gets assassinated as in real life.

RFK-1969-1977
Reagan and Bush- 1977-1993
Ted Kennedy- 1993-2001
George W. Bush- 2001-2009
John F. Kennedy Jr.- 2009-2017 (doesn't die in a airplane crash and gets elected governor of New York in 2002)

Joe Kennedy III gets elected sometime in the near future
