If you could change one presidential election since 1968

Posted on 06/15/2017 11:14:23 AM PDT by MNDude

If you could change any presidential election so the presidential candidate loser would win, for example John McCain would have become president in 2008 instead of Obama, which election would you change?

2000. Jack Kemp. No economic troubles in the 2000s, Republicans would have kept the 2001 N.J. governorship against McGreevey.

“1960? Nixon was to the left of Kennedy.”

What are you drinking?

Clinton was bound to win in 1992 and 1996. It was the Democrats time.

We were already in Vietnam as early as 1956. Advisors, 16,000 by 1960. My dad’s Pentagon office partner went in 1961 and my father a year later.

Eisenhower committed us to preventing the sequential Communist conquest of Southeast Asia in his Domino speech of 1954. Nixon would have honored our SEATO agreement.

1976 President Ford needed a real term and Jimmy Carter was the start of the democrat emasculation of the Presidency.

Altering time lines is frowned upon in science fiction circles.

” even though Reagan wanted someone else”

Paul Laxalt, former Nevada governor. Reagan’s “twin”.

I wouldn’t have changed any of them. My personal happiness and success, as well as my shortcomings, are not determined by who occupies the White House.

1992 is a good choice...but for me...it would be 2016. I would have Donald Trump winning the popular vote by a 75% to 25% margin and winning the Electoral College by a margin of 439 to 99. All in the interest of seeing if it would shut these snowflakes and SJWs right the eff up.

What if Dukakis chose to run again?

Clinton had no name recognition. Al Gore was probably more widely known as a Senator.

At least Dukakis would have had the experience of his previous run.

“Ross Perot should have won. That would have changed things.”

We might have gotten more of our POWs back (no thanks to you, John McCain).

Sorry, even Noam Chomsky calls Nixon one of the great liberal presidents.

-Nixon founded the Environmental Protection Agency (and by extension, the Global Warming movement)

-Nixon passed Title IX/the education amendment

Nixon raised the minimum wage more than any other president.

And there are many other examples. Sorry.

2208. There isn’t even a close second. This vulture of Islam filled the ranks with the primitives. President Trump can’t even find them all.
