A New Blue Dog For America's Health!

[Huey Long is a Republican]

I think maybe some brief summaries of a Bredesen administration would be awesome.

Despite my libertarian tendencies, I'd vote Bredesen in a heartbeat!

Agreed. He's truthfully one of only a handful of Dems that I would vote for. In OTL, he was considered a strong candidate in 2008 as a Centrist and could've been as good if not better nominee than Obama and Hillary (Whom I both dislike with a passion) and while Bredesen disregarded the idea, I wanted to see what he could be able to do. After all, he gave TN a state surplus and some truthfully saw him as a New Bill Clinton Centrist. The only thing I'm sad about is destroying Douglas. He seemed like a genuinely good guy but someone needed to be destroyed in 2008.

Jim Douglas to give Concession Speech

"I want to thank each and every one of you for being here right now. I love you all as much as you love me.

A few Hours ago, I phoned President-Elect Bredesen to congratulate him on his victory. I hope that he will be a successful President for all Americans. This is not the outcome we wanted or we worked so hard for and I'm sorry that we did not win this election. But I feel pride and gratitude for this wonderful campaign that we built together, this vast, diverse, creative, unruly, energized campaign. You represent the best of America and being your candidate has been one of the greatest honors of my life.

Our campaign was never about one person or even one election, it was about the country we love and about building an America that's hopeful, inclusive and big-hearted. I have a feeling that many of you feel upset about the result but I hope that Governor Phil Bredesen will be the best President possible for our country. This Nation is somewhat divided, but as long as we can get by our differences, the America we know and Love shall and always will continue.

Now, let me add, our constitutional democracy demands our participation, not just every four years but all the time. So let's do all we can to keep advancing the causes and values we all hold dear; making our economy work for everyone not just those at the top, protecting our country and protecting our planet and breaking down all the barriers that hold any American back from achieving their dreams. We must accomplish all these goals, no matter who leads our country and no matter from which party our next president is. Because we have to put our differences aside and work together in order to get things done for the sake of America's prosperity and security. United we stand. Divided we fall.

So now, our responsibility as citizens is to keep doing our part to build that better, stronger, fairer America we seek. And I know you will. I am so grateful to stand with all of you. This loss hurts very much so, but please never stop believing that fighting for what's right is worth it. And so we need you to keep up these fights now and for the rest of your lives. And to all the women, and especially the young women, who put their faith in this campaign and in me, I want you to know that nothing has made me prouder than to be your champion.

Thank you all!"

Phil Bredesen to give Victory Speech

"Thank you, Thank you all. Thank you very much."

Audience cheers as Bredesen gives his speech, some holding this Sign:  while others are waving American flags.

"A few hours ago, I received a phone call from Governor Jim Douglas to congratulate us, this was about us, on our victory. I thanked him for his service in Vermont and his Campaign, this was tough. I thought it would be very tight in October but it wasn't. Each and every one of you  I have all of you to thank for my historic victory, OUR historic victory. But the battle is not yet done. Republicans and Democrats, Left and Right, both need to come together as we are all one thing: We are Americans through and through.

I promise to be President for each and every one of you. Being a Centrist means one thing. I will work across party lines to get what needs to be done happen, rather it be Democrat or Republican laws that I pass. The presidency is an office not to be taken lightly and I hope to live up to each of your expectations for the next 4, or if possible, 8 years.

Thank you everyone, I hope you will come together to help make my vision for America happen!

Before I was mayor of Nashville, I was the head of a company that I started on the kitchen table to the point I had 6000 employees before I sold it on the Stock Market. I have a feeling that with Mr. Trump as Treasury Secretary, the Economy will definitely turn around.".

Thoughts on Bredesn's Cabinet?

[TheSaint250]

I think I see a mistake: both Trump and Salazar have been nominated as Secy of Treasury.

Besides that, looks great!

So, what's the next 100 days look like?

Very interesting with a 59-41 Democratic Controlled Senate and a Phil Bredesen. It'll mostly be Bredesen planning to release his biggest plan as his first major actions before he gets into the rest of his job. During that period, I will post midterms for 2010s and who'll be running then.
