How much support would he have in congress? if he tried to court pack would southern dems...

  3. WI John McCain wins 2000 nomination

    I'm sure there has been a thread or two about this already but I've always wondered what if somebody found out who was running the smear campaign against John McCain and if that would have changed the course of the primaries and election. In the OTL, an unknown party had viciously defamed...

    As someone who’s been interested in the Great Depression to the end of WW2 era of American history, one of the things that interested me the most were the big and lesser big figures at the time that, due different circumstances for each of these figures (Long getting shot in 35’ and...
