Hey everyone! Hope everyone's doing well. So I've been recently putting together different timelines for if the loser of a presidential election won and how their re-election would go, or wouldn't go (ex. President Clinton in 2020, President Romney in 2016, etc.). I'm working backwards, as I'm not connecting each scenario together, and have already done 2008-2020. I'm looking for some help when it comes to putting the story together for each scenario. I already have the data, just need some additional help in terms of the stories. Anyone willing to help?

Dude your user name is dangerously close to the real life name of a person I know in person, and their brith year. For a second I thought you were him and I would have legit quit the forum to avoid any controversy I would create in my town as a result of them seeing my posts.

Anyways, for your question, I think in 2004, it is important to know that the easiest Kerry win is to simply win Ohio, not a universal swing. This means he loses the popular vote by a even larger margin than Trump, with less total votes, and in a second consecutive election. USE THIS POD! It is a very interesting one and create a very interesting debate on if the EC benefits just one party, and can create a interesting timeline where it has a real chance of being abolished and how it would affect the future. Or if it does not, how it would reflect on voters on if such a thing happens for a third time in a row, third time in 12 years, 16 years etc...

Haha, I don't think I know you. I don't live in Oregon, Anyway, I appreciate your feedback. I'm currently rewriting the 2020 scenario to touch it up. For my scenario for a President Kerry win in 2004, everything stays the same except for Ohio. I have him running for re-election in 2008, with a "potential" recession looming. Would you like to collab?

I will think about it. I might want to, but I don't know if I will be able help too much.

No problem. I appreciate your input. Right now, I'm working on 2020 if Hillary Clinton is running re-election.
