I'm not 100% sure this is what i would have done, but i assume i would have been a loyal voter for the Socialist Party, despite Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt being good candidates. I'm not sure whether i would have been convinced to vote for Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932 already. It would have depended on the exact nature of the campaign and what my life would have been exactly.

In 1968, i could have voted for Nixon. I think i would be an anti-Vietnam war activist, and Nixon was pretty moderate, even quite liberal for a Republican (i assume?). Of course i'm not a big fan of what he has done later on (Watergate Scandal), but back than i might've gone for Nixon.

Not a big fan of Mondale, but 1984 would have been an anti-Reagan vote.

In 1992 and 1996 i could have went for Perot but I don't know. It would have depended on whether i would've liked Bill Clinton back than. Now i obviously don't, but back than that might've been different. And i could have went for Perot as a third party protest vote (dissatisfied with the two-party system). But i'm not sure about that.

In 2000 i'm also not 100% sure whether i would have went for Nader or Al Gore, but if his name recognition was high enough for me, i probably would have went for Nader, and at this stage right now (if i had to vote for 2000 American presidential elections tomorrow, i would have went for Nader), even if i lived in Florida. (assuming i wouldn't have known the result, and even than, it wouldn't have made a difference)

I'm not a (big) fan of Donald Trump as well, but I remember well that i did prefer Trump over Clinton during the crucial stage of the 2016 election, but it might have depended on the state i'd live in. I think I probably would have voted for Trump, assuming that Trump wouldn't have won, and assuming he would have been a different president than he is now (at one point, he said that he was going to be a president for the working class), while his policies on trade and foreign policies were also issues that mattered to me, while i was very angry with the Democratic establishment (for rigging their primaries), and the media environment of 2016 (which was all biased towards Clinton, both during the primaries and the generals). My opinion on Trump still changes basically every day, but he has something no other Republican has. I know Trump is morally not the person who's best fit to be a president, and that he doesn't have the temperament, and i might regret "supporting" him now, as he turned out to be more conservative than i assumed, but back on election day, i remember that i was stunned, amazed and happy with the election result. Clinton and the Democratic establishment seemed to be very arrogant during the campaign, and *everyone* had to be in favour of her, because she was a woman or because the opponent was terrible, and that basically pushed me towards Trump. Also, i hate political dynasties and the fact that the election looked to be like it was going to be Jeb Bush against Hillary Clinton for a long time, has pushed me towards an outsider.

I imagine I would have been a staunch Republican from 1856 to 1896, but moved to the left in the 1890s.

The irony of all of this is, that if your candidates won, nazi-Germany likely would've won the second world war.

By not letting Roosevelt / Wilson and FDR win, and also not being economically interventionist/keynesian when needed, the USA would've never industrialized to the extent ITL and more importantly would've also been more isolationist, having less of a drive to participate in both world wars. I believe Germany easily would've won if it wasn't for the USA in the second world war.

Since a lot of the early USA rocket engineers were all nazi's i assume the nazis would've won a cold war too against the US (esp. with your candidates being elected). All those brilliant rocket engineers would've still been nazis and would've easily wiped the US from the map in a cold war or beat them in a space race.
