Might I interest you in some historical parallels to the current election?

To celebrate Constitution Day, I wrote a new blog post! Grover Cleveland's two nonconsecutive presidential terms, what's up with that? And could there be any parallels to the present day??

I'm back with a post about presidents who stepped aside instead of running for re-election! Thought it might be relevant.

1828: John Quincy Adams vs. Andrew Jackson, II
Adams won the presidency, but the Democrats were ready for a rematch! Was there anything he could do to stop them?

1824: John Quincy Adams vs. William H. Crawford vs. Henry Clay vs. Andrew Jackson
Jackson's supporters blamed his 1824 election loss on government corruption. What if he had gotten his way the first time?

1820: James Monroe vs. DeWitt Clinton vs. William H. Crawford vs. Henry Clay
Maybe the Era of Good Feelings wasn't so good after all?

1816: James Monroe vs. William H. Crawford
The War of 1812 didn't start out as smoothly as planned. If a few more things went the wrong way, it could have threatened the stability of the Union...

1812: James Madison vs. DeWitt Clinton
The War of 1812 was inevitable, but was Madison the right person to lead the country through the crisis?

1808: James Monroe vs. Charles Cotesworth Pinckney
Could the War of 1812 have been avoided? James Monroe thought so!

1804: Aaron Burr vs. Thomas Jefferson
There's another transmission from the Elections-verse! In this world, Aaron Burr's presidential aspirations have a little more good fortune...

1800: John Adams vs. Thomas Jefferson
It’s the first contested matchup of the Elections-verse! This one is pretty simple: what if John Adams was better at being president?

Do you ever think that #Congress is too partisan to be trusted with power? Maybe things would be better if George Washington had been a little less altruistic!

I’ve got a new blog post from the Elections multiverse! In this universe, Hamilton and Jefferson can’t pit their differences aside. And the capital is where now??

It’s the first transmission from the #elections-verse! But in this alternate #ushistory timeline, something has gone horribly wrong!

I wrote about something called “the present” so I could explore the dynamics of the #Republican Party, the #Democratic Party, and something Newt Gingrich said that pissed me off seven years ago.

Could a person be an American AND a Communist? Better read up before #Oppenheimer and/or #Barbenheimer!

The Whig Party, Part II! Last time, the Whigs learned to make their message more appealing. Now, they need to find a candidate that can unite their factions!
