*lost reelection, †died in office

A timeline where the neoconservative movement is stronger and longer lasting, with the presidency of Hillary Clinton merely being an interruption. Republicans in JEB's first 100 days push through statehood for Guantanamo Bay (GB), giving Republicans a free congressman and 2 free senators. Democrats are barely able to attain ballot access thanks to partisan Republicans in the officer corp. Democrats finally show signs of life in 2020, as protest votes for terrorist inmates at GB receive write in votes from soldiers. Edwards, a conservative southern Democrat, presides over a slow return to sanity for the Republic. He has to deal with Speaker of the House Amy McGrath (Republican-Kentucky) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (also Republican-Kentucky) during much of his time, but is able to block their far-right agenda. Finally in 2028 Democrats are back in power for real. The abolition of the state of GB is on the table, as are statehood for DC and PR, pushing the number of states up to 52.

[McGarnagle's End Times Cavalcade]

Gore defeats Bush in 2000

43 - President Al Gore (D-TN), 2001-2009
2000 - Gore/Graham defeats Bush/Cheney
2004 - Gore/Graham defeats Huckabee/Brownback

Vice President Gore narrowly defeated Governor Bush in 2000, winning Florida by 0.5% thanks in part to his running mate, Senator Bob Graham. In response to the 9/11 attacks, President Gore launched military operations in Afghanistan, which resulted in the capture of Osama bin Laden in December 2001 at the battle of Tora Bora. Gore did not invade Iraq, but kept Clinton's sanctions in place. Gore was re-elected with a majority of the popular vote against Mike Huckabee, who voters viewed as too socially conservative.

44 - President John McCain (R-AZ), 2009-2017
2008 - McCain/Pawlenty defeats Graham/Lieberman
2012 - McCain/Pawlenty defeats Kerry/O'Malley

Amidst the 2008 Recession, Senator McCain defeated Vice President Graham. McCain passed tax cuts and campaign finance reform while persuing a more hawkish foreign policy than President Gore that included airstrikes against Iraq, Iran and Hamas. McCain was narrowly re-elected, defeating fellow Vietnam veteran John Kerry in 2012.

45 - President Hillary Clinton (D-NY), 2017-2021
2016 - Clinton/Kaine defeats Pawlenty/Ryan

Donald Trump decides to forgo running for President and remains host of The Apprentice. After sweeping the Democratic Primary with little opposition, Senator Hillary Clinton narrowly defeated Vice President Pawlenty in an upset. Clinton had difficult working with a Republican Congress, and her last year in office was consumed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which dented her approvals. A more coordinated federal response results in fewer deaths but is met with widespread opposition from Republicans, who limit the stimulus to a one time $500 check. Kasich promises $1000 relief checks and lower taxes if he is elected, and goes on to defeat President Clinton.

46 - President John Kasich (R-OH), 2021-Present
2020 - Kasich/Romney defeats Clinton/Kaine

President Kasich lowers taxes in his first hundred days in office, and signs the 2021 Recovery Act distributing $750 checks while overseeing the federal distribution of vaccines. Three-term Senator Barack Obama is considered the Democratic frontrunner for 2024 - Obama criticizes Kasich for promising $1000 checks and delivering $750 ones, and advocates for $1500 checks.
