George Bush defied all expectations and actually won re-election, baffling pundits and voters alike. This hasn't been met without problems however, the malaise among Republicans over what has been the moderate Bush Administration has led to an outsider getting to the top. Democrats see this as the best time to break the Republican hold that has been constant for over 24 years.

Will this be the chance the Democrats get to finally impose a more liberal agenda or will the Republicans keep the streak going like the Gilded Age and dominate the executive office?

Well, it all depends on their campaign and that is always to be determined as time goes on... \", \"image_url\": \"https://i.imgur.com/zjtmACF.jpg\", \"winning_electoral_vote_number\": 270, \"advisor_url\": \"https://i.imgur.com/tRTDIsK.jpg\", \"recommended_reading\": \"

so where did i get this idea, well it came from my head what wouldve happened if bush won a second term so i decided to write something if i were to make a scenario for it. thankfully i did and now you are seeing the end product of it.

i hope you have a good day and the rest of the week, and the rest of your life!!!!!!! :^) (^_^)

sooooo will there be a Bradley or Perot side?????? NO!!!!!! i really liked writing for Forbes' side because of how interesting he is and i wanted that to reflect in the writing, but the other people gave me trouble in actually writing for them.

After eight years of George HW Bush, the Republican Party has had their fill of pragmatic conservatism. The GOP yearns for a fresh new face, one clear of the acne that is soulless establishment politics. Lucky for them, eccentric billionaire Steve Forbes decided to put his name into the ringer for the Republican primary, and is now their presidential candidate.

Despite his enigmatic personality, the foundations of his platform are typical for your average GOP candidate: support for NAFTA, a smaller Federal Government, and an America-centered foreign policy. In fact, his platform so far is so typical, some wonder if he will truly be able to distinguish himself enough to prevent being seen as Bush-lite. Along with a rational platform, Forbes boasts support from one of America's top business magazine publishers, meaning ample campaign funds and a power tool to spread his message.

Congratulations! You have won the 1968 election!

In one of the great turnarounds of American politics, you have salvaged your once-wrecked political career and shed your label as a 'loser' once and for all. As it turns out, the press will have Nixon to kick around.

If you can end the War in Vietnam and roll back the excesses of the Great Society, you may just go down as a truly great President. Good luck working with a Democratic Congress, however...

\", \"electoral_loss_message\": \"

Sorry, you have lost the 1968 election.

Never has a candidate been so far ahead in a Presidential election, only to come up short. After your heartbreaking loss in 1960, it's going to take a long while for you to recover from this new defeat.

The American public will never know what might have transpired with you in the Oval Office. As it is, you are sure to enjoy a long retirement after this one...

\", \"no_electoral_majority_message\": \"

Wow! No candidate holds a majority in the electoral college.

Wallace's machinations have succeeded. The election will go to the House of Representatives where the Democrats hold a clear majority.

You do hold some cards however -- Humphrey would certainly rather make concessions to you, rather than deal with George Wallace. Perhaps you could obtain a place in his Administration, or some assurances on a policy issue of your choice.

Unfortunately the Democratic Party has had trouble proving the weakness of the Republicans' platform, but this might be their best chance and an experienced Senator from New Jersey might be their best bet. Bill Bradley was a former basketball player for the New York Knicks before taking part in an even dirtier game, politics.

Bradley has done a lot when it comes to reforming things such as the tax code and campaign finance. Overall he has a record and experience that he can show off while introducing what he would do, something many Americans want with the typical GOP agenda many have lived through. Maybe he can take advantage of the lack of support for Republicans from many independents, but it's all how he bases his campaign around key issues of the day.

Congratulations! You have won the 1968 election!

It looked like a hopeless case as you accepted the nomination, but you have run an outstanding campaign in the interval.

Now you must press forward with your efforts to defend the Great Society and to end the war in Vietnam. Failure in the latter case could be devastating when you seek reelection in 1972. After all, just look at what happened to the once-lustrous reputation of Lyndon Johnson over the past four years...

\", \"electoral_loss_message\": \"

Sorry, you have lost the 1968 election.

You may have performed admirably under trying circumstances, but it was always a tough sell for you after the chaos at the Democratic Convention in Chicago.

Your only consolation is that Nixon himself is a former loser. Even so, this is a horrednous turn of events for Democrats after the landslide of 1964. The best you can do now is to plot a comeback to the Senate, or as a candidate for President in 1972.

\", \"no_electoral_majority_message\": \"

Wow! No candidate achieved a majority in the electoral college.

Fortunately for you the Democrats have won a majority of the nation's Congressional delegations. Unfortunately, you also have to deal with George Wallace. He will not allow the Southern states to support any candidate who advocates desegregation.

Your best chance, sadly, is to try to broker a deal with Nixon or with other moderate Republicans.

You are the likely winner, but who knows where this all ends?

After a terrific showing in 92 against Bush and Clinton, many thought Texan billionaire Ross Perot could potentially win the presidency. Alas that did not happen and the two-party system has continued to go strong, ignoring any gains a Perot challenge could've attained.

The odds are favorable for Perot, many Americans feel the need for different leadership after back-to-back Republicans, Democrats aren't seeming any better when it comes to addressing issues Americans are focused on, but issues that propelled Perot's candidacy in 92 aren't as popular as they once were. The odds surely are slim and their certainly are mistakes that can jeopradize Perot's campaign, but if this is pulled off in a hitch than many Americans will be happy for new leadership from the political duopoly!

Sorry, you did not prevent an electoral college majority.

You put in a good effort, but your dream of brokering an end to desegregation will not come to fruition in 1968. No winning candidate will negotiate that point with you unless they absolutely have no choice.

George Voinovich is the current governor of Ohio and entrenched in Ohio politcs. What makes him seperate from all the riff raff is his performance against Democratic challengers in the state. With Bradley leading Forbes by a massive margin in polls, a politician from a crucial swing state might be enough to climb over the hefty mountain.

As to what Voinovich would bring to the ticket, it would be showing off his record to the Republican base. It's no secret the GOP has been struggling after the 92 election, but Voinovich would be a good person to show off to your base. He could also prove to be an olive-branch to the establishment, a group Forbes will certainly need to appease if he wants any sort of shot.

Bob Dole is a senator from Kansas and deeply entrenched into national politics. It all seemed hopeless for Forbes' campaign when Dole announced he'd be running, but unfortunately a heart attack like he never experienced made him put his presidential aspirations on hold.

Dole is a revealing choice for both the establishment and Forbes' core supporters, both counterproductive from each other. The knot will need to be safely tied if Forbes wants any chance, but Republicans across the country would be appreciative of this choice.

Rush Limbaugh is a conservative radio talk show host and is only entrenched in politics for a specific base of people. Limbaugh is the anchor that keeps the Republican Party from branching out, and he would have a severe detriment to any ticket.

Limbaugh is a radical choice for Forbes, which only repudiates the moderation over Bush's tenure. Who would be happy about this type of ticket, well Buchanan will certainly be singing his praises as well as conservatives that hated Bush's moderation.

Alright Bill now this is something we can work with. Cuomo's pretty popular in New York from what I hear, right Bill? Bill? Come on I just assumed since you two are pretty much in the same place that you would know. Oh come on Bill, you know I didn't mean it like that. Alright I'll apologize for that remark, on to our preperations.

Cuomo is pretty popular among Democrats so you can hopefully boost turnout from them. I mean what are they gonna do, go to Perot? Give me a break! This will also make sure Americans know this isn't some compromising ticket, no you are going to follow a liberal point of view. Of course this can help and hurt in areas, but turnout from Republicans is already going to be low so might as well take advantage of that. There does come the concern of the two of you being from the Northeast, lest we forget the last election with two southerners.

What the hell are you thinking Bill?!? Why is this schizophrenic waste of space on your shortlist? Are you trying to give Forbes a landslide victory like 88 because this is how we get that! I don't even know what got into your head with this man, I mean what does he support that you possibly think would be good enough to have him in your ticket?

Well this is a bit of a conundrum... LaRouche is a polarizing figure no matter who you ask, I mean that's a given when you spread crackpot conspiracy theories. If there's anything that we can salvage from this, at least he might entice Republicans peeved with NAFTA being passed. Well, if they can look past his history...

Well, well, well Bill, are we trying to go for a more different approach that previously expected? I mean I don't mean to demean you, but we have an election to win. Not some experience extravaganza, I mean if we're doing that than we ignore the liberal wing. You know what happened when that occured, yeah we lost in 92. Well, okay let's see what we can do with this.

Mitchell was not the expected choice for you to announce as your running mate, even more so if your trying to make the arguement of your ticket being one of experience. It isn't the end of the world though as many positions he has taken is quickly being accepted by the general populace, we just gotta make sure we don't deflate the liberals enough to give Forbes a squeaker.

I mean I understand what you're trying to do Mr. Perot but if I can add a comment... Okay thank you as I was saying I understand you're trying to bolster the broader Reform Movement, but we have an opportunity here. We obviously could've gotten someone with experience after your impressive showing back in 92, I mean 20% in the popular vote? You gotta be kidding me!

Choate will be great for the Reform Party, it's unlikely if he will have any effect other than that. Well, his experience as an economist could scrap votes from the Libertarian Party, but thats just guess work. We gotta get ready for the tough road ahead Mr. Perot, Bill and Forbes certainly are and we can't be caught with our pants down.

Alright Mr. Perot, for all intents and purposes what are you thinking? Selecting another person from another party as your running mate, a more conservative one if I should mention. I'm not angry, I just wished you informed me of this earlier, I mean you gotta keep me in the loop on this kind of stuff. Now I got to inform people in the party about this, let's just hope the more liberal supporters don't defect.

Phillips certainly is the most polarizing pick you could've chosen. I mean there's the Libertarians, they won't ever win but we could've gained there favor. Instead you went for some religious conservative, is this your Christianity playing into your selection? Well we can expect those in the Taxpayers Party and other smaller conservative parties to rally around us, maybe even gain some disaffected Republicans.

So this is what we're doing Mr. Perot? Appeasing the liberals at the expense of our conservative followers to make our ticket more ideologically focused? Well I'm not saying this is a bad strategy, I just wished you informed me of this before hand. I mean now I got to inform our party people about this, lets just hope they won't mind this.

Selecting Nader as your running mate will leave a lot of questions by many looking at this, especially Democrats. This might be a good strategy to bleed support from Bradley, let's just hope your conservative supporters don't jump ship so quickly. Also we might be able to get some of those smaller parties on the left to endorse us and drop out, so maybe this plan isn't so crazy after all.
