Footnotes:

[1] Compared NAFTA to a "giant sucking sound", a sentiment many feel is vindicated, even many who despise him. Trump governed more like a populist in his later years and also became more corrupt and unpopular with competent cabinet members who were often fired or resigned. A massive corruption scandal lead to his impeachment by a Democratic controlled congress, and the end of the millennium is remembered as a chaotic time in US political history as millions were personally loyal to him and sat out the 2000 election. Even today, hundreds of thousands still belong to his cult of personality.

[2] Trump's second VP, Patrick Buchanan (Reform-Virginia), was already out of office so the Democratic speaker of the House assumed power.

[3] Fiscal conservative who ran as a moderate in both his campaigns, to distance himself from right wing populism inspired by Trump.

[4] The moderate "New Democrat" faction came out on top in the bitterly contested Democratic primaries. After Obama withdrew and a right-wing tech CEO won the Reform party nomination, many believed the Green Party would mount a significant challenge for the Presidency. The Green Party chose to go down the route of kooky new age weirdness and flopped hard.

[5] The nomination of the wife of a sitting President was not without staunch opposition, generally from the left in the Democratic primaries. Once again, the moderate faction won out, this time with divide and conquer tactics. Hillary Clinton was an underdog but prevailed by attacking her opponent's staunch ideological stances. An issue focused campaign kept the White House in the Clinton family for a third term.

The 2020 Democratic primary was the most serious challenge to a sitting Democratic president in 40 years, as Bernie Sanders, originally in it just to give a platform to his left wing views, stayed in longer than planned when President Clinton aggressively tried to put him down. Despite facing another staunchly right wing opponent, President Clinton ran a weak campaign in 2020, was easier on her opponent than she was on Sanders, and clearly expected to lose.

[6] Some compare him to Ronald Reagan, but President Cruz is more comparable to President Kasich in that his fiscally conservative ideas were often blocked by a Democratic controlled congress less amenable to right wing policy than the Democrats of the 1980s. The government of the 2020s was characterized as doing nothing to solve anything, and many Cruz supporters openly liked that.

Cruz's biggest accomplishment was the invasion of Cuba and the overthrow of its decrepit post-communist regime. This was during his second term, in the mid 2020s. The success of this invasion was a major contributor to Republican retention of the White House in 2028, along with a weaker Democratic candidate.

[7] The Bush to Cruz's Reagan. The meme of him nervously taking a drink of water while giving a speech to the American people on an important issue is still laughed about today. When the occupation of Cuba was winding down in the early 2030s, Rubio was forced to campaign on other issues, and it was revealed that he wasn't that great.

[8] First mayor of Cleveland, Ohio to become President. A staunch progressive, finally giving the emergent left wing the White House. Also the first black President. There are dark rumors that a cabal of tech CEO's and hardline right wingers attempted a coup against him in January 2033, but if such rumors are true then it failed.

[bagelman]

A list in the same flavor as the last one I made. Much shorter for a smaller US.

Presidents:

Donald J. Trump (Liberal-New York) 2001-2005
Bernard Sanders (Socialist-Vermont) 2005-2013
Hillary Clinton (Liberal-New York) 2013-2021

Vice Presidents:

Jim Webb (Liberal-Virginia) 2001-2005
Bill DeBlasio (Socialist-New York) 2005-2013
Joe Biden (Liberal-Delaware) 2013-2017
Martin O'Malley (Liberal-Maryland) 2017-2021

Notable losers:

2000: Ralph Nader (Socialist-Connecticut)
2004: Donald Trump (Liberal-New York)
2008: Lincoln Chafee (Liberal-Rhode Island)
2012: Bill DeBlasio (Socialist-New York)
2016: Elizabeth Warren (Socialist-Massachusetts)

As for 2020, the Liberals are set to nominate Vice President O'Malley, although there are rumors that Biden might try to rejoin the fray despite his age. Representing the moderate wing of the Liberal party (as Clinton herself had to an extent) Biden had decided to step down from running for a second term alongside President Clinton due to family tragedy. O'Malley is certainly beatable in a general election but the Socialists have yet to agree on a good candidate.

This version of the US is small. Shown is the 2008 election, and it should be noted that there is no electoral college, and state borders are certainly different than shown:
