Today In Alternate History

February 15

In 1933, in Miami, Florida, Giuseppe Zangara shot President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt, who died of his wounds on March 6. John Nance Garner ascended to the Presidency, famously described by Alistair Cook as the last public man linking America of the Civil War and America of the nuclear age. Cooke was referring to the fact that Garner was born in 1868, the son of a former Confederate cavalry trooper. His unique understanding of American history enabled Cactus Jack to steer the isolationist nation clear of the tragedy of the Second Great War.

February 18

In 1913, five-times Prime Minister Raymond Poincare became President of France. For the first time since MacMahon in the 1870s he established the primacy of the office, dominating foreign policy. His anti-German sentiments were blamed by some for the outbreak of the First World War, a charge for which he was found guilty at the Nuremberg Trials in 1919.

August 27

In 1908, on this day Lyndon B. Johnson was born at Stonewall, Texas. A career politician of uncredited worth, Johnson used his network in the house to force through President Kennedy's legislative program througout the 1960s. He also gave not a few politicians 'the treatment' when his charm failed.

August 27

In 1908, on this day the regicide Lyndon B. Johnson was born at Stonewall, Texas. Only a third and final heart attack in 1973 prevented this most traitorous of Vice Presidents from facing justice. 'Hey, hey LBJ, how many Kennedy's did you kill today' was the youth chant after unmistakeable evidence emerged of his complicity in the Sirhan-Sirhan affair.

August 27

In 1908, on this day Lyndon B. Johnson was born at Stonewall, Texas. Due to heavy smoking and lifelong stress, Johnson suffered acute coronary problems, leading to three heart attacks - the final and fatal infarction in his last fortnight of the Presidency. Vice President Hubert Humphrey had been sworn in for a single day according to the US Constitution, with President-elect Richard M Nixon arguing that his Government-in-transition should take office a day early.

September 7

In 1900, Giuseppe Zangara was born in Ferruzzano, Calabria, Italy. Aged 32, Zangara shot President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt who was giving a speech in Bayfront Park in the city of Miami, Florida. FDR survived, but spent the remaining years of his life in a wheelchair.

September 7

Franklin Delano	In 1900, Giuseppe Zangara was born in Ferruzzano, Calabria, Italy. Aged 32, Zangara shot President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt who was giving a speech in Bayfront Park in the city of Miami, Florida. FDR survived with a weaker heart, but Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak who sitting next to him was killed.

Roosevelt

He led his country well for the time he was in office, but in 1935 that all changed, the day the social security bill was signed, he died of a sudden heart attack. The New Dealers distrustful of President Garner made a deal with the devil, and united behind a man who claimed to be the 'spirit of the new deal' a man who had himself survived an attempted assassination.

That man was Huey Pierce Long.

Long had been a critic of FDR for some time, but with FDR dead, he claimed that he repersented the same movement the late president had, a movement Garner seemed intent on abadoning.

In 1936 the results were in Huey Long was President of the United States

January 22

In 1973, on this day Lyndon B. Johnson died after suffering the third and final heart attack in his lifetime. Unfit for office for two weeks due to suffering from acute chest pains, the closing days of Johnson's Presidency had ended in acrimony. Vice President Hubert Humphrey had been sworn in for a single day according to the US Constitution, with President-elect Richard M Nixon arguing that his Government-in-transition should take office a day early.

February 15

In 1933, a constitutional crisis ensues when President-elect Franklin Roosevelt is shot to death by an Italian-American bricklayer who objected to another plutocrat gaining control of America's government. Although it seemed obvious to most that Vice-President-elect John Garner was next in line to take over the White House in May, Republican President Herbert Hoover maintained that the constitution was unclear on this point, and asked the Supreme Court to decide who should follow. Although most on the court believed privately that the constitution was, in fact, quite clear on this point, they punted the question to Congress. The House of Representatives, given the duty of electing the president if the general election was unclear, took up the question of whether to elevate their former Speaker, Garner, or to continue Hoover's presidency. Although Garner felt confident that he would win among his old colleagues, it turned out that 'Cactus Jack' had rubbed more than a few of them the wrong way; they voted Hoover back into office. An enraged electorate was made even more radical by this action, and the elections of 1934 saw a huge turnover in Congress - virtually everyone who had voted against Garner and was up for reelection was defeated and replaced by a Garner supporter. Hoover was rendered impotent by the loss of Congress, and was very nearly impeached. He managed to negotiate his way to 1936 still in the office, and John Garner was swept into office in 1936 by a near-unanimous landslide, winning every single state in the general presidential election.

Readers Comment Robbie Taylor commented on 2009-02-15 04:06:33 ~ As is only right and proper... ;)

Readers Comment Eric Lipps commented on 2009-02-17 18:08:41 ~ And what happens to Depression America absent the New Deal? Does it have a Communist revoution? Go fascist? Does Huey Long rise to power (having avoided assassination) after Garner, or does Charles Lindbergh, perhaps, run for President in 1940 not on the America First ticket but as a Republican, pledging to keep America out of "Europe's problems"?

July 12

In 1976, the Democratic National Convention opens in Madison Square Garden, New York City. After a hard-fought primary season, it is expected that Senator Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts will be nominated for president. There is an air of tension about the proceedings. There are rumors that followers of Senator Henry Jackson, Rep. Morris K. Udall, and minor candidate Gov. Jimmy Carter of Georgia may pool their votes and make a deal with some delegates nominally pledged to Kennedy to deny him a first-ballot victory and open the convention.	Senator

	Edward Kennedy

July 13

In 1964, the National Convention of the Republican Party of the United States took place in the Cow Palace, San Francisco, California. Nelson Rockefeller easily took the nomination. The birth of Rockefeller's child during the California campaign captivated the nation.

July 27

In 1930, Henry Ross Perot was born in Texarkana, Texas. Following a successful business career, an intention to run in the 1992 U.S. presidential election was announced on CNN's Larry King Live. Perot's common-sense platform was based on a promise to get under the hood and fix the engine. When US votes found out the extent of incompetence and waste in Washington, they were simply shocked, and today Perot is recognised as the Father of Small Government in the United States.

November 2

	In 1976, Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts defeats incumbent President Gerald R. Ford in the U.S. presidential election. It has been a surprisingly close race, despite the burden Ford carries because of his pardon of Richard Nixon following the latter's resignation in the face of likely impeachment over the Watergate scandal and Ford's inept performance in the fall's presidential debates.


Ford is also hurt by the fact that supporters of ex-California Governor Ronald Reagan, who had nearly beaten him in the primaries, stay home in droves - particularly white evangelical Christians, who after Reagan's defeat had found themselves with no candidate for whom they were enthusiastic about voting.

December 26

In 1972, on this day Harry S. Truman, a former President, died in Kansas City, Missouri. The 33rd US President Harry S Truman had honoured a pledge to the American people. The use of a nuclear weapon on Tokyo he had clarified, was a once only tactic that could not be, and should not be, re-used. The post-war world was a great deal more complex than the world of 1945, and the weapon had become a great danger to the continuation of life on earth. Out office of office, Truman had led a peace movement that had delivered disarmament during the peace era of the late 1960s.

December 26

In 1972, on this day Harry S. Truman died in Kansas City, Missouri. Once considered a Presidential candidate, Truman was forced to withdraw from the 1944 Campaign Race after his $10 membership of the Ku Kux Klan emerged.

December 26

In 1972, on this day the plans for the inauguration of President-elect Richard M Nixon startled to unravel big time. Former President Harry S. Truman died in Kansas City, Missouri. Then, the incumbent Lyndon Baines Johnson suffered a third and fatal heart attack. Vice President Hubert Humphrey had been sworn in for three weeks according to the US Constitution, with President-elect Richard M Nixon arguing that his Government-in-transition should take office earlier than planned.

December 26

In 1972, on this day Harry S. Truman died in Kansas City, Missouri. Despite his folky appeal that 'the buck stops here', corruption was rife in Truman's cabinet and he lost the 1952 election to his bitter enemy Douglas MacArthur.

December 26

In 2006, on this day Leslie Lynch King, Jr. died aged 93 in Rancho Mirage, California. As a member of the Warren Commission, and after travelling to Dallas in 1964, Senator King issued a robust defence of Jack Ruby, prompting Earl Warren to describe the Senator as 'just plain crazy'. King left the senate shortly afterwards and pursued a career in charitable affairs.

December 26

In 2006, on this day Gerald Ford, Jr. died aged 93 in Rancho Mirage, California. Ford was the only person to occupy the White House who had been elected neither to the presidency nor the vice-presidency. His decision to intervene in Vietnam was therefore all the more controversial, because in his two and half years as President, Ford had never faced, nor planned to face the voters. This window of oppportunity presented the congressional-military-industrial complex with a window of opportunity which they seized with both hands.

December 26

In 2006, on this day Gerald Ford, Jr. died aged 93 in Rancho Mirage, California. Thirty-three years before, Gerald Ford had been confirmed as the new Vice President of the United States, assuming the presidency less than six months later. Ford had become a national figure since his appointment to the Warren Commission, sensationally traveling to Dallas with Chief Justice Earl Warren and other commission members for a series of private meetings in Dallas with Jack Ruby during June of 1964. Upon its release in 1964, all files of the Warren Commission were sealed from public view for 75 years by executive order of President Johnson. In 2039, it was finally revealed that Ford, acting on the explosive information provided by Ruby, had strong-armed the CIA into unseating Vice President Spiro Agnew and President Richard Nixon, gaining him the White House. The CIA exacted revenge, scuppering Ford's re-election attempts by clandestinely backing one of their own, the 'Georgia Giant', James Earl Carter.

January 5

In 1976, Senator Henry M. Jackson announces he will run for president in that year's election, setting up a confrontation between him and Senator Edward M. Kennedy, whose vice-presidential running-mate he had been in 1972. Jackson makes no secret of his belief that Kennedy is "soft" on the Soviets, and the Washington senator also insinuates that his Massachusetts counterpart is unfriendly to 'America's only real friend in the Middle East,' Israel. By the time of the convention, personal feelings between the two men - never really warm - will have badly deteriorated.	Senator

	Henry M. Jackson

February 19

	In 1985, rumors that ex-President Edward M. Kennedy and his wife are divorcing are confirmed by Joan Kennedy during an interview for CBS News.


The former First Lady declines to go into details, saying only that their separation will be an "amicable" one. Speculations abound as to the underlying reasons for the breakup; among the favorites is infidelity on the President's part. It is also suggested that the break has been coming for a long time, but was postponed for political reasons until after the Kennedys left the White House.

June 27

In 1930, H. Ross Perot, businessman and statesman, is born in Texarkana, Texas.

H. Ross Perot
42nd President of the United StatesAlthough of humble origins, this small-town man rose to become one of the richest men in the world. His radical notions of straight talk and giving people the information they needed to make good decisions about politicians led him to bring down the 2-party system in America by successfully winning the presidency in 1992 and again in 1996. During this time, his Reform Party managed to claw its way into spoiler status in Congress, and they enacted measures that led to our current multi-party state.

July 15

In 1976, Senator Edward M. "Ted" Kennedy receives the Democratic nomination for President.

Ted Kennedy NominatedAs in 1972, he names Senator Henry M. Jackson as his running mate. Once again, liberals are disappointed; they had hoped he would choose George McGovern, a sentimental favorite on the left, Arizona Rep. Morris K. Udall, who had mounted a surprisingly strong presidential campaign of his own, or even former Georgia governor James Earl "Jimmy" Carter, who had won several Southern primaries.

There is speculation that Kennedy's choice of Jackson, with whom his relations have soured during this campaign, is the result of a political deal worked out to avoid the brokered-convention scenario which had been rumored to be in the works among Jackson, Udall and Carter.

Critics argue that even in the post-Watergate political atmosphere, it makes poor sense for the Democratic Party to run the same ticket Nixon had defeated four years earlier. Kennedy cousin Sargent Shriver, however, replies, "And where is Nixon now?" He goes on to note that even in that pre-Watergate election, Kennedy and Jackson had been defeated only by the narrowest of margins.

Readers Comment Stan Brin commented on 2011-07-15 17:15:28 ~ Since I knew Jackson, and was a Jackson delegate in 72 (and had a very public argument with Shriver in 76 - and for some reason actually like Jimmy Carter, God Forgive Me), perhaps I should avoid this question entirely. Does this scenario imply that Commandante George McGovern was not nominated in 72? The only way El Jefe George could have lost the nomination in 72, would have been to deprive him of the Rules Committee Chairmanship he obtained in 1968. As Great Helmsman, he manipulated the rules so that only he could win. After 72, his name was dirt. (I also got into a big public argument with Udall, but that's for another time.)

Readers Comment Eric Lipps commented on 2011-07-16 11:42:32 ~ Oh, for pity's sake. "Commandante" George McGovern "El Jefe"? "The Great Helmsman"? Let's put the ad hominem attack aside, shall we, and just look at the facts. McGovern emerged as the leading candidate only after a bruising set of primaries in which Ed Muskie, the presumptive favorite at the start, imploded in New Hampshire and Hubert Humphrey, who had lost to Nixon in '68, fought hard. Too hard, in fact. If anyone tried to rig the rules, it was HHH, who at the convention tried to *retroactively* change the rules so that California's delegates would be divided proportionally rather than winner-take-all, even though he had caampaigned in that state (and lost) under the latter condition. Humphrey's whiny "I lost, so let's change the rules so I get to win" performance did him no credit. Yes, McGovern had played a role in changing party rules after '68, but nobody, NOBODY in politivcs would take seriously that he had somehow rigged them so that "only he could win." I don't see how that would even have been possible. And of course we're ignoring the elephant (or oversized donkey) in the room: that in this timeline there was no Chappaquiddick scandal dogging Ted Kennedy (this post is from my "No Chappaquiddick" thread, in which the accident is narrowly avoided). Do you seriously believe that if Ted Kennedy were in contention he and his forces would have meekly allowed party rules to be rigged against him? In any event, McGovern was no Castro or Mao, as your nicknames for him suggest. Yes, he aligned himself with the student antiwar movement, but his record in the Senate was (and remained until the end) that of a populist liberal more in the tradition of Robert LaFollette (Sr. and Jr.) than Earl Browder, Gus Hall or even Norman Thomas. Do you seriously imagine South Dakota would have elected and re-elected him if he were the Communist ogre you suggest? Remember, he won his final re-election to the Senate in 1974, *after* his humiliating defeat in 1972.

Readers Comment Stan Brin commented on 2011-07-16 21:03:46 ~ Oh please, I was a member of the California delegation of which you speak, but never even bought a ticket to Miami. My seat was already stolen. I never said that McGovern was a communist (although he was a fellow traveler and a useful idiot). What I intended is that McGovern used Bolshevik style political rule-fixing and membership-rigging to sieze control of the Democratic Nominating Convention for himself. The theft of the California delegation is an example. Our campaign exhausted itself trying to follow McGovern's rules -- a patchwork quilt of crazy, formulations that required every candidate to hold local caucuses in every congressional district where attendees must "elect" delegates that were 50 percent female and proportionately black and latino. Everything had to be supervised by lawyers at every stage. McGovern's campaign had thousands of eager volunteers who did the work. Still, we managed to hold our caucuses, and I was among the delegates selected and at the top of the list when the primary results were announced. According to previous rules, California had a winner-all-primary. According to McGovernist rules, delegates must be awarded proportionately. As it turned out, the McGovernists were able to win a plurality of the vote -- about 40 percent. That immediately changed everything. As true Bolsheviks, they changed the rules again -- suddenly reapplying the winner-take-all system in California that they had specifically banned. (About that time, the McGovernists were also publicly plotting to turn the Democratic Party into a members-only club with party cards, and the like. They never mentioned a party secret police, but historically those are never far behind.) I don't have the time to go through everything I experienced in the years 66-72 right now. It might make an interesting mini-series. (You may want to go to calwatchdog.com and see an article on my experience with violent, authoritarian academic liberalism in 66-69.) Suffice it to say that regarding McGovern, he and his supporters were just spitting in the wind. They never thought for a minute they were going to win in November. Their goal was grabbing the nomination and snatching the party from moderate Democrats. All the Republicans had to do was sit back and laugh at us.

Readers Comment Eric Oppen commented on 2011-07-17 02:36:38 ~ So there was no Chappaquiddick, but there was a Watergate scandal? From what I've heard, particularly after Bobby's death, Teddy was increasingly indulging in stupid, self-destructive behavior, and the media couldn't have covered for him forever.

Comment from Alan Abramowitz on Facebook: Well now, if Kennedy ran against Ford he would have certainnly won. And won relection as well. Reagan would then continued to be a joke and faded away. Kennedy would have seen the Iranian hostages possibility and averted that. He might hav...e Whipped Inflation Now (ha). Thats a reference to Ford. There would have beenn no de-regulation and the USA today wouldnt have been in the same economic distress we're in today.Can I travel there??
