    I've never heard that JFK wanted to retire in 1964. What's your source for this?

    Had JFK been assassinated in October 1964 instead of in November 1963, I would have expected LBJ's 1964 landslide to be even larger. Why? Well, take a look at these polls: https://news.gallup.com/poll/110548/gallup-presidential-election-trial-heat-trends.aspx In such a scenario, the election...

    Yes, he could have. But the Democratic Party was nowhere near as Woke back then. Interestingly enough, I personally dislike Clinton for his 1996 welfare reform and specifically for the part that required parents who are on welfare to seek child support. I think that the current child support...

    If one wants to make a cynical observation, the US electorate was presumably much whiter back in the 1980s than it is right now. When most minorities vote for the Democrats, and their share of the US population has significantly grown, it became significantly harder for Republicans to win by...

    Would help if the dot-com recession began in late 2000 rather than in early 2001 so that way Clinton gets the blame for it.

    Maybe you can have Truman cheat on his wife with his daughter while you're at it in order to have Truman lose all fifty states on election day?

    Maybe this would cause President Obama--or, alternatively, President Hillary Clinton ('coz who'd want a guy with the middle name of Hussein as US President after all of that, right? ;))--to launch an intervention in Syria in addition to the one in Libya?

    Yeah, voters sometimes care about small and stupid stuff like that. Yeah, I'm not saying that he is in real life. I'm just saying if he was, and he was also stupid enough to open his mouth, then he'd be screwed.

    Yeah, in real life, Dean was notable for the "Dean Scream", which was due to a bad microphone more than anything else, but the voters didn't know that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_scream Maybe have Dean win the nomination, then do the Dean Scream, then make excuses for Osama and Saddam...

    Have Howard Dean win the 2004 Democratic presidential election and then somehow bizarrely start making up excuses for what Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein did and you could see George W. Bush win in 2004 in an extremely massive landslide, with only the loony left supporting Howard Dean...
