- If William Henry Harrison lived, the National Bank would be re-established, and I suspect he’d run for a second term against Polk and win.
- Every election from 1876-1892 could easily have gone the other way. Perhaps Weaver could have won in 1892, which would have interesting effects on the party system.
- Perhaps if William Howard Taft didn’t alienate Progressive Republicans, he would have defeated Wilson in 1912.
- If William Jennings Bryan either doesn’t make a speech denouncing Champ Clark or runs himself, Clark or Bryan would have become President instead of Wilson.
- A small difference in the campaign decisions of either Ford or Carter leads Ford to win. Ford then gets blamed for Iran and stagflation, leading to a Democrat winning the Presidency and Democrats keeping control of the Senate in 1980. Democrats get credit for the economic recovery and the fall of the USSR.
