Looking at Rocky's IRL record on foreign affairs, especially inter-American affairs and economic bodies such as the International Basic Economy Corporation & International Development Advisory Board, he'd be very much an internationalist favoring 'soft power' methinks. Dude was a pretty...

That's an interesting idea, actually! It kinda makes Goldwater a conservative version of Teddy Roosevelt, in the same way that nobody really expected the latter (a progressive Republican) to be anything more than a talking ornament for the guy who was supposed to be calling the shots...

Sure I can think of some, but you're going to have to be a bit more specific - do you mean events in general around the globe during that timeframe or in Canada specifically? I can't tell if you're still referring to the latter lol. In that case, probably the biggest things that went down in...

Funny enough, Trudeau was the one pushing the most authoritarian measures in the Quebec Crisis (invoking the War Measures Act and consequent imposition of martial law). If he were assassinated, it would seem to vindicate his actions (whereas today we have a whole historical debate as to whether...

Hey, that's great to hear re: your mother's condition improving :) I wish her the best of health. Worst Dem candidates for '64 and '68...well, you could always go with an even worse segregationist than Wallace. A Strom Thurmond who stays Democratic, for example - he already split from and tried...

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any other Italians on the Sietch, right-wing or otherwise. Wallace was an interesting figure whose ideology evolved with the times. As a judge in the '50s, he was slightly more respectful of black lawyers and more lenient on black defendants than the majority of...

Good stuff. I think you've nailed Stassen's character - certainly he must have not only been idealistic, but a pretty stubborn guy too, what with him running for president 13 times IRL. I'll guess that the Puerto Rican nationalists didn't launch an attack on the Capitol in your timeline as they...

1. Unfortunately, that's a bit beyond my own very limited artistic expertise, which is mostly confined to map-making and (to a lesser extent) flag-making. 2. Fair enough. 3. Well, if Wallace can outright take the Dem nomination, I doubt he would go with his OTL running mate Curtis LeMay (who...

Even so, Nixon would offer too little (nothing really) to Eisenhower to be given the VP slot in 1948. As an inexperienced congressman on his first term, he'd basically only be one small step over some literal rando on the street, and since Eisenhower himself isn't a party establishment man he...

Interesting stuff, looking forward to more. The only contention I can think of so far is that Eisenhower wouldn't have picked Nixon as his running mate in '48 because, as you pointed out in the text itself, the latter is still just a one-term congressman with virtually no record to speak of that...
