Bryan defeats McKinley, 1896!

Are you ging to continue this? This is really interesting.

Possible running mates for Forbes:

Pat Buchanan
Ross Perot
Barry Goldwater Jr
Ron Paul

(Just a shot in the dark with Goldwater and Paul)

The only thing I see that might be a bit off, is that Forbes chooses a fellow businessman with no actual political experience. I can see him choosing a Cosnervative Congressman or something like that. Anyway, good timeline.

Thanks for input Cathcon.

Tommy, do my eyes deceive me when I see that you've changed Forbes' VP to Ron Paul?

The final debate will take place on October 10th, 1996.

Steve Forbes hopes to "wow" some more voters in the 2nd debate so he can get around 10-15%.  Powell tells voters "Conservatives vote for me rather than Steve Forbes."

I don't want to nitpick, but does Powell have a consistent theme in the campaign, because earlier he talked about how Forbes was too Conservative for America, and now he's telling Conservatives to vote for him. Personally, I would work to shed doubt on Steve Forbes' political experience, instead of his ideology. Great timeline!

BREAKING NEWS: President Powell wins re-election.

PV%: Powell 45%, Brown 43%, Forbes 12%

Just the result I wanted. Powell wins re-election, but Forbes takes a state.

YAAAA! Powell for three terms. While I'm posting, I have acouple questions:
1) It seems that the parties have no major changes, however, the Republican Presidentis seem to be more moderate (Powell and Bush, not Reagan and Goldwater). It seems that people that were major Cosnervative icons in their time ended up on the Vice-Presidential tickets.
2) Can you give a list of the Presidents, not now maybe, but at the end of the timeline (2008, 2010)?
3) If you can't make a list of the Presidents, can you tell me if there was a President Henry Ford in this timeline? I know there was one timeline where he was President, but I'm not sure which (This TL, the Wet House, or Fluke of the Gods)

I can make a TL of all the President's.  There was a President Henry Ford.  I can get a more conservative Republican in office.  Maybe George W. Bush in 2004?

Only if he's an actual Conservative, not the faux-Con we got in real life. I'd rather have an actual moderate than a fake Conservative. Good work, though, this is by far the longest Timeline I've ever read.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Why is Powell facing not one, but two challengers during a good economy and peace-time, with one of the challengers being a fellow moderate?

By the way, scratch the idea of W. at oen point being President. Go with Jeb instead if you're gonna have a Conservative.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Bump.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Yay. It's back

Comment:
Also, when I was going through this to try to compile some lists on it, I noticed that ittl, Presidents who seek third terms are not often  rewarded (Stevenson, FDR).

Question:
Also, in modern day, how much of icons are Harold Stassen, Robert Lincoln, and George Bush, etc. to modern Republicans? Do Dems say "we need a good Humphrey Democrat to win again" like Republicans with Reagan in RL?

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Thanks. What are the Bush brothers doing, and what has Barry Goldwater Jr. (in RL a California Congressman 1969-1983), who in this is the son of a Vice-President done?

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Go Forbes! Just for the heck of it.

Took quite a while, but that should be about right.

Welcome. Im wondering what political offices Brown held. Was he basically unemployed between 1983 & 1996, or did he return to the governorship at some point?

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Looking forward to it!
