List of Alternate Presidents 2.0.

[NYSforKennedy2024]

My current predictions given the Mueller/Flynn developments.

45) President Donald J. Trump/Vice President Michael Pence (2017-2019)

President Trump resigns in early 2019 after the imprisonment of Paul Manafort, the arrests of Roger Stone, Donald Trump Jr, Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner, and the listing of Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator.

46) President Michael Pence/Democratic House refuses to confirm any Republican for VP (2019-2021)

Pence runs a horribly weak re-election campaign with former Rep. Paul Ryan.

47) President Joseph Biden/Vice President Beto O'Rourke (2021-2029)

48) President Matt Gaetz/Vice President Elise Stefanik (2029-2033)

49) President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez/Vice President Andrew Gillum (2033-)

Ah, John Edwards.

2004 - John Edwards/Dennis Kucinich (D) defeat George Bush/Dick Cheney (R), 298-239.

President Edwards admits to the affair after its initial reporting in October of 2007. and announces he will not seek a second term, but will not resign.

Hillary Clinton easily wins a rushed, panicked Democratic primary, but the Edwards affair, his refusal to resign, and a damaged economy have severely hurt the Democratic Party's reputation.

2008 - John McCain/Paul Ryan (R) defeat Hillary Clinton/Tim Kaine (D), 291-247.

President McCain and Vice President Ryan lead the turnaround of the economy, and the GOP makes massive gains in the Congress due to the Democratic Party facing several aforementioned scandals. Barack Obama becomes a rising star, but voters still have too much faith in McCain come November.

2012 - John McCain/Paul Ryan (R) defeat Barack Obama/Jack Reed, 284-254.

In their second term, McCain and Ryan are victims of a weakening GOP momentum and a rise in problematic social issues for the nation, such as a rise in mass shootings and the debate over Gay Marriage rights - but are able to finish their terms without major scandal.

2016 Republican Primary - Sarah Palin (a rising star who was never tarnished by a failed VP run) defeats Chris Christie, Rand Paul, Carly Fiorina, Lindsey Graham, and Jon Huntsman.

2016 Democratic Primary - Elizabeth Warren defeats Joe Biden.

2016 - Elizabeth Warren/Julian Castro (D) defeat Sarah Palin/Scott Walker (R), 294-244.

After decades of deciding not to run, Businessman Donald Trump decides to run, and we finally get our current administration, an election later.

2020 - Donald Trump/Mike Pence (R) defeat Elizabeth Warren/Julian Castro (D), 295-243.

I presume this means that Edwards still has an affair while in office a-la Clinton, even though it wouldn't have been the specific affair that brought him down?

Either way. I was thinking he pulls a move similar to the current administration and finds a way to just shrug it off until the new President is elected.
