Notes
7 (Jackson). As president, supported the 13th Amendment to the Constitution providing for the election of the president and vice president by a nationwide popular vote. Opposed by Southern "Nullifiers," the amendment was ratified with the votes of the New England states, who believed it would increase their influence in national elections.

12 (Taylor). Then election of 1848 saw a three-way split in the popular vote between Zachary Taylor (a Whig), Lewis Cass (a Democrat), and former President Van Buren (nominee of the Free Soil Party). Under the terms of the 13th Amendment, the presidency would be decided by the House of Representatives; yet while the Democrats enjoyed a plurality in the lower house, they lacked the votes to elect Cass outright. Van Buren hoped to build an alliance between the Free Soil representatives and his old Democratic allies, but the Southern congressmen refused to cooperate, and residual antipathy towards Van Buren was strong enough among the Whigs to make a coalition of Free Soilers, Whigs, and Northern Democrats impossible. At last, a compromise was struck: the Free Soil representatives agreed to cast their votes for Taylor in the House, in exchange for Whig support for Charles Francis Adams (the party's vice presidential nominee) in the concurrent election ongoing in the Senate.

13 (C. Adams). When Taylor died in office less just over a year from his inauguration, Charles Francis Adams ascended to the presidency. His subsequent veto of the Fugitive Slave Act, his endorsement of the Wilmot Proviso, and his efforts to establish anti-slavery territorial governments in Utah and New Mexico drove the Southern states into rebellion a mere six months from his inauguration. The resulting American Civil War (1851 - 1856) would prove to be the most severe test the American Republic was ever to endure and nearly cost Adams his reelection in 1852, when he ran on a fusion ticket of Whigs, Free Soilers, and anti-slavery Democrats and against Democrat Stephen Douglas. In the post war order, this coalition would be reorganized as the National Party and successfully promoted the ratification of the 14th, 15th, and 16th amendments (abolishing slavery and extending full rights of citizenship to former slaves, at least on paper) under Adams' successors.

19 (Blaine). The last president to have served in the Civil War, Blaine's administrative corruption and opposition to civil service reform split the National Party in 1888, as reformist "Halfbreeds" bolted the convention to nominate George F. Edmunds on an Independent ticket. The resultant three-way split in the popular vote between Blaine, Edmunds, and Democrat Grover Cleveland threw the election to the House of Representatives, where Cleveland was chosen with the combined support of Democratic and Independent representatives.

35 (Carter). The landslide defeat of John W. Davis in 1932, followed by the defection of much of the party's Northern liberal wing to the Progressives over the course of Wendell Wilkie's seven years in office, had relegated the Democrats to minor party status for most of the ensuing three decades. Though the party remained competitive in the South and parts of the Southwest, the party had no serious chance of returning to Pennsylvania Avenue – that is, until Jimmy Carter's long-shot bid for the presidency upended the established political order and succeeded in throwing the election to the House for the first time in 16 years, while the Democrats gained more than 100 Congressional seats across the South and Midwest. Lacking the votes to elect their own candidate, the socially conservative Nationalist representatives threw their support to the Southern Baptist Carter, who thus became the first Democratic president in nearly 50 years. He chose not to seek reelection in 1984.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

I had a dream last night that involved many things, but one feature was that someone had had the genius idea of making a Pence/Cheney timeline, which dream me found funny owing to the irony of Cheney being billed by the media as the smart, sensible realist behind the throne. Now, the real joy of such a timeline would lie not in the list of presidents, but in the series of events, but this is all I have to give you for the time being.

A Reformer with Results
42. William Jefferson Clinton (Democrat-Arkansas)/Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. (Democrat-Tennessee) January 20th, 1993-January 20th, 1997
43. Michael Richard Pence (Republican-Indiana)/Richard Bruce Cheney (Republican-Wyoming) January 20th, 1997-January 20th, 2005
44. Rudolph William Louis Giuliani (Republican-New York)/Richard John Santorum (Republican-Pennsylvania) January 20th, 2005-January 20th, 2017
45. James Henry Webb, Jr./Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. (Democrat-Illinois) January 20th, 2009-January 20th, 2017
46. Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. (Democrat-Illinois)/Steven Clark Bulock January 20th, 2017-January 20th, 2021
47. Jon Meade Huntsman, Jr. (Republican-Utah)/Mark Whitty Everson (Republican-New York) January 20th, 2021-Present

The point of divergence rests with Pence winning his first run for Congress in 1988. As in real life, he quickly ascended the ranks of the national Congressional leadership despite lacking notable legislative success. Come the 1994 "Republican Revolution", Pence is positioned as a champion of "conservative reform", making headlines with the likes of Speaker Newt Gingrich and Budget Chairman John Kasich. With his major House colleagues declining a run for higher office, and sensing an opportunity in a weak field where the only heavyweight as Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, Pence threw his hat in the ring. His surprise second place finish in Iowa brought him significant momentum, and he managed to displace the frontrunner Dole first in the South, and then in the Mid-West. Incredibly young for a presidential candidate, Pence was encouraged by those in his campaign to select for Vice President someone who would grant an air of stability to the ticket. Surveying his options, he declined opportunities to betray his staunch conservative base through selecting Bill Weld or Pete Wilson. Instead, to supplement his complete lack of foreign policy experience and to cloak his campaign in an air of realism and sensibility, he selected former Secretary of Defense Richard Bruce "Dick" Cheney of Wyoming. Cheney's heavy insider credentials, which could be traced back to the Nixon White House, contrasted with Pence's own relative inexperience. Nevertheless, the rather quiet Cheney managed to avoid overshadowing the young nominee. In an incredibly close campaign marked by an energetic opposition nominee and an array of "dirty tricks", the Pence campaign managed to push their man over the finish line.

Pence, suddenly saddled with experience beyond his reckoning, would lean heavily on those around him in his first few months in office. Newt Gingrich, for example, essentially took over the nation's legislative agenda. Meanwhile, foreign policy veteran Cheney played a significant role in the selection of Donald Rumsfeld as Secretary of State. National hero Colin Powell, meanwhile, was easily confirmed as Secretary of Defense. Powell would find himself overriden by the Cheney-Rumsfeld team as the United States inserted itself into turmoil in the Balkans while attempting to take to task Saddam Hussein for violation of United Nations resolutions. This eventually led to the military operation to topple Hussein in 1999 and the resulting "Second Gulf War". Nevertheless, Pence's narrow re-election over former Vice President Gore was built on the backs "culture war" slogans even as an array of paleoconservative third parties attempted to undermine the interventionist president.

The September 11th, 2001 attacks which brought Rudy Giulaini national fame served to undermine President Pence's credibility on national security issues. Nevertheless, with Pence's fiery oratory following the attacks, he managed to reaffirm support in his effort to take "terrorism and its shadowy backers" to task. The bursting of the "dot-com" bubble was meanwhile counteracted through an array of middle class tax cuts meant to boost consumer spending. In 2004, with the nation experiencing moderate growth and having yet to grow weary of foreign adventurism, Rudy Giuliani managed to win election against Howard Dean in a campaign that hinged far more on foreign policy than on economic or social issues--something that aided Dean in the Midwest, making him the first Democrat to capture Wisconsin since 1992, for example. Nevertheless, support for Republicans in the suburbs of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Virginia kept Republicans in power. Nevertheless, the Democrats saw crucial Congressional gains in an election that took attention away from issues such as gay marriage and guns.

It was only after Giuliani's inauguration that the bubble of the last eight years popped. Support for American presence in Iraq collapsed, as did belief in "nation-building". Even as Dick Cheney, the outgoing Vice President, was confirmed as Secretary of State, the national coalition needed to maintain the popularity of his international program was dying.  Meanwhile, growth slowed at home, and a substantial sub-culture built on resisting Giuliani's perceived "police state"--including his unveiling of new surveillance powers in 2005--became mainstream. In 2006, Democratic gains combined to produce majorities in both houses of Congress. By late 2007, Giuliani was facing opposition not only from without, but from his own party. While Lincoln Chafee and Ron Paul would both attempt to challenge the incumbent President, it was in the end Chuck Hagel who stood the best chance. A former member of the armed services, to Giuliani's right on abortion, guns, and immigration, and to his left on foreign policy, Hagel was well-positioned, coming incredibly close in the Iowa Caucuses and seeing surprising support in New Hampshire--the very state to sustain Giuliani's primary campaign four years earlier. Nevertheless, despite victory in the Nevada Caucuses and in a number of other Western states, the Nebraska Senator could not overcome the advantages of incumbency and support from the entire party apparatus. The Democratic primaries, meanwhile, saw two relative newcomers to the national stage fight for the soul of the party, with Jim Webb narrowly overcoming Barack Obama. Selecting Obama as his Vice President, the Democrats united for the general election just as the Republicans were coming apart. Webb benefited from many of the advantages that Hagel had never fully realized; a veteran of the Vietnam War and a former Naval Secretary for President Reagan, he also channeled a rugged, rural, and masculine persona that appealed to a recession-stricken middle America at a time when they were being led by what one activist called "a plutocratic statist from the metropol." On the debate stage, the two could not be more different, even as they both attempted to leverage their histories of "toughness". On November 4th, America made its choice.

2020

President Donald J. Trump (R-NY) / Vice Pres. Mike Pence (R-IN) - 198 EV, 30% PV
Fmr. Secretary Julian Castro (D-TX) / Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) - 340 EV, 36% PV
Fmr. Gov. John Kasich (I-OH) / Fmr. Gov John Hickenlooper (I-CO) 0 EV, 28% PV
Fmr. Gov Bill Weld (L-MA) / Whoever (L-MN) - 0 EV, 5% PV
Green Party Generic - 0 EV, 0.5% PV

Was messing with a spreadsheet. Had Trump hold 65% of his 2016 vote, Castro held 75% of Clinton, Weld got a 105% increase over Johnson performance, Green Party dropped by 50% and the remainder when to the independent ticket.

Kasich/Hickenlooper best states in this scenario:
Idaho - 34%
Vermont, Wyoming - 32%
Arkansas, Alabama - 31%

Worst:
New Mexico - 23%
Maine 1st, Maine-at-large, DC - 26%
