1980 - Alternate Democratic nominees
1980 IOTL
Reagan - 489 EVs - 44 states - 43.9 million - 50.7%
Carter - 49 EVs - 6+DC - 35.5 million - 41%
Anderson - 0 EVs - 0 - 5.7 million - 6.6%
If Ted Kennedy was successful in unseating President Carter


Carter doesn't run in 1980 and Byrd triumphs over a divided field. Democratic nominee, Robert Byrd.


If third place finisher took Kennedy's place as the main challenger to Carter and won the nomination. Democratic nominee Jerry Brown.


Dale's Landslide - Democrat Dale Bumpers becomes the nominee after Carter refuses a 1980 run


Vice President Mondale challenges Carter and wins a heated contest in the primary


Muskie comes back for a primary contest and wins when Carter doesn't run in 1980

[West_Midlander]

1984 Alternate Democratic nominees
Reagan - 525 EVs - 49 states - 54.5 million - 58.8%
Mondale - 13 EVs - 1+DC - 37.6 million - 40.6%
Joe Biden runs and wins the Democratic nomination

John Glenn wins the Democratic nomination

McGovern received 4 delegates at the 1984 convention, what if he was renominated
(Fixed but I have typed McGovern as McGovernor three times today).

Gary Hart. Democratic nominee.

Jesse Jackson wins the nomination

Map same for all races above

[West_Midlander]

1988 Alternate Democratic nominees
Bush - 426 EVs - 40 states - 48.9 million - 53.4%
Dukakis - 111 EVs - 10+DC - 41.8 million - 45.6%
All the other Democrats who ran in the primary lost to Bush, so I'll just post the one who won


A tangent from one of the previous results: Bumpers reelection campaign 1984.
Loses 384-154 and 52-48%. I would think Reagan would do similarly though his crushing 1980 loss is probably enough to keep him away from the nomination in 1984.

[West_Midlander]

1972
President Kennedy (won in 1968 in one of my previous maps) runs for re-election against now three-time Republican nominee Richard Nixon. Nixon was eager to run again and Reagan wanting to stay friendly with the higher ups of the RNC endorsed him instead of running himself.

The former Vice President announces his retirement from politics after his second loss to Kennedy. A major loss in the electoral college of 386-152. The popular vote margin was considerable at 53-47%.

[West_Midlander]

1972
Surprisingly a right wing third party campaign didn't hurt Nixon but helped him in the electoral college. Nixon lost much more PV support than McGovern to Reagan, but retained a majority and won all 50 states. After a bloody primary battle in 1968, Reagan stormed out of the convention and declared an Independent Republican run for President.

The Seventy-One Naders?

[P. Clodius Pulcher did nothing wrong]

The Seventy-One Naders?

Uhhhhh....God/Jesus (I) vs. Jeff Merkley (D) vs. Ben Sasse/Mitt Romney (R)?

[West_Midlander]

The Seventy-One Naders?

Uhhhhh....God/Jesus (I) vs. Jeff Merkley (D) vs. Ben Sasse/Mitt Romney (R)?

No on both.

[Trans Rights Are Human Rights]

God/Jesus (I)

Wouldn't picking Jesus as a running mate make Him easy to accuse of nepotism?

2016 without any counties that voted Landon 1936.

1996: ‘64 all over again:

President Al Gore/Vice President Lee Hamilton: 495 Electoral Votes, 57.8%
Fmr. WH Comms. Dir. Pat Buchanan/Rep. Bob Dornan: 43 Electoral Votes, 41.2%

In September 1994, President Clinton was shot while visiting a diner and campaigning for Democratic candidates in Boulder, Colorado. The shooter was identified as a radical former Ross Perot/Pat Buchanan supporter who had communist tendencies, John Lee Jefferson, who was executed four months later. This incident put the country in a state of disarray. President Gore was sworn in, and decided to select Representative Lee Hamilton as Vice President, and he was confirmed by the Senate. The ticket stressed the progress Bill Clinton had made in office, while focusing on what President Gore was going to do in office. The main candidates for the Republicans decided to skip this election, causing Republican Pat Buchanan to narrowly win the nomination. President Gore easily crushes the Buchanan/Dornan ticket come November.

I wonder how 2000 turns out in this timeline...
