republican party

With a POD after 1900 make the GOP shift as far right as you can without making Goldwater president. Also, try not to go the Mecham route;).

Now I'm asking this because while I can say the Democrats would be dominant even in urban Los Angeles due to Latinos voting Democrat 95% (by-and-large, Latinos are socially conservative and economically progressive), I don't know how it will affect voters in the more northern parts of...

Chapter I: The Death of a Lion (June 28th, 1912) It was another late night in the study at Sagamore Hill for former President Theodore Roosevelt and he knew that this was the first of many sleepless nights for the next few months. Just the week before TR had led his delegates and supporters out...

This is nth question I have about Nixon's Southern Strategy, and I thank everyone knows what he did. But did it necessarily mean that the South and Evangelicals would turn Republican (in the aftermath of Roe vs. Wade)? Let's say Iran's monarchy reforms and there's no late 1970's turmoil. If a...

What would it take for John Connally to be the Democratic nominee in 1968? What would be the outcome of the election, esp. if Nixon decides to run like OTL? Would Nixon still initiate a Southern Strategy?

As the title says, was there a way for Nixon not to initiate the Southern Strategy? Specifically, could he have won in 1968 without using that plan?

(My first ever timeline, so please be kind) January 10th, 1958: Hollywood actor James Stewart announces that he plans to seek the Republican nomination for Governor of California in the upcoming 1958 election. January 11th, 1958: General Electric Theater host Ronald Reagan is overheard...

The 1960 US Presidential Elections was one of the closest in history. Now imagine that Nixon narrowly wins, and like Nixon IOTL, JFK wants and does makes a comeback in 1968. What do you think would happen, in six spheres? 1. Social? My opinion: Nixon would most likely pass the CRA and VRA...

This is my first thread. If you've got questions, comments, or concerns, shoot! Vice-President Al Gore was the front runner for the Democratic primaries of 2000, and he unsurprisingly won every single contest. The Republican primaries also were over fairly quickly. Following a landslide McCain...

(not sure if this is too soon, but please bear with me. Also lets avoid any political arguments, please :P ) Donald Trump, now our President-elect, was not predicted to run for president in 2016. Polls for the Republican primaries showed Governor Jeb Bush, Senator Marco Rubio, Senator Rand...

We've had a few discussions on the idea of Ronald Reagan being the Republican nominee in 1968. However the ones I remembre presuppose his victory over Hubert Humphrey. What I'm curious about is what happens to the Republican Party if Reagan loses the 1968 election. The Republicans will not...

Chapter One: An Alternate Voorhis, An Alternate Nixon (1942-1947) On the Martin Dies Committee, California Congressman Horace Jeremiah "Jerry" Voorhis was an odd man out in many respects: he was at least a social democrat (quite possibly a socialist), and yet he was a serious anti-communist and...

The Solution to Our Problem By Ishan Sharma “Government is not the solution to our problem. Government is the problem.” -Ronald Reagan Chapter I From: “Revolutionary: The Reagan Presidency” by Robert Smith (2001) – No one – Democratic or Republican – can deny that Ronald Reagan was the most...

Hi all. This is my first thread. I've wanted to do a political timeline for a while, and I decided to try something familiar to me. I just want to answer a few questions: This is not a wank. I may be on the conservative side of things but all sides will get a fair shake. Liberals and...

So, this is the revised version of my timeline, The Ruins of an American Party System, with Part One being now subtitled “Implosion”. This thread is for the revisions, please DO NOT COMMENT HERE, all comments about the original timeline or about the revisions can be posted in the the original...
