So let’s say that, for whatever reason, no Anti-War candidate emerges for the New Hampshire primary. President LBJ cruises to victory, and becomes the 1968 Democratic nominee against Nixon. Does he win? Would he perform better than Humphrey, or worse?

As it says in the title; who would be likely nominees for the Supreme Court in the case where Hubert Humphrey defeated Richard Nixon in 1968? Right off the bat he would be naming Earl Warren’s successor as Chief Justice; either elevating a sitting Justice, or nominating a new Chief Justice...

Riders On The Storm - A Romney Timeline For the sake of prefacing, I will state the following. Firstly, this is not a timeline where I will interject my own beliefs. I will not be attempting to whitewash Romney as some wholesome liberal who will usher in a better world, nor will I use it to...

When it came time to pick a running mate in 1964, Lyndon B. Johnson‘s two most likely picks were both of the Senators from Minnesota: Hubert H. Humphrey and Eugene McCarthy. Johnson needed a liberal northerner to balance the ticket (who wasn’t Bobby Kennedy) and these two were who he apparently...

What if instead of JFK picking LBJ in 1960 to appeal to the South, he went all in on winning the North and picked Humphrey in 1960? And what if it payed off? John F. Kennedy | Hubert H. Humphrey | 306 EV Richard M. Nixon | Henry C. Lodge Jr. | 181 EV Harry F. Byrd | 49 EV Moreover, because...

Former Vice President and presidential contender Hubert Humphrey put serious thought into entering the 1976 Democratic primaries. Humphrey's family and many of his associates, including previous opponents like George McGovern, wanted him to run, seeing him as the most likely to win in the...

In 1968, Senator Robert Kennedy was pressured to run for President by many anti-war liberals. Yet Kennedy chose not to enter the campaign, and instead endorsed Eugene McCarthy following the New Hampshire primary. What might've happened had RFK decided to run for President in 1968?

In 1968, Vice-President Hubert Humphrey scored a surprise upset victory over former Vice-President and 1960 Republican nominee Richard Nixon. Most scholarship has attributed the election result to Humphrey's decision to reveal that Nixon had sabotaged the Vietnam Peace Talks for his own...

Richard Nixon's Vice President, Spiro Agnew, had a long history of alleged corruption even before he was brought down in 1973 and forced to resign. Democrats and journalists alike accused Agnew of the very behavior that lead to his downfall, but never had any substantial proof. So let's say...

Hi. I'm going to make this timeline in a little bit. It will be about a Humphrey presidency in 1968. This is my first timeline so I accept all comments. I hope you'll all enjoy it.

Hello, I’m new here. But I wanted to post my first thing here. I don’t care how you do it but I want to see how Muskie could’ve become president.

Vice President Hubert Humphrey almost selected Senator Fred R. Harris of Oklahoma as his vice presidential nominee, however, Senator Edmund Muskie of Maine's age, governmental experience, and quiet temperament convinced Humphrey to select him instead. Muskie was surprised to have been nominated...

What if the Peace Talks in the fall of 1968 that ended the Vietnam war failed and Richard Nixon was elected the 37th President of the United States instead of Hubert Humphrey, who was arguably only able to pull off his narrow victory due to the last minute success of the Peace Talks?

POD: Senator Thomas Kuchel runs for Governor of California and Nixon runs for his old senate seat in 1962. 1962: Former Vice President Richard Nixon runs for his old senate seat and narrowly defeats his Democrat opponent 53-47%, thanks in part to the public perception of him as a senior...

Wait, you're making another timeline?!? Yeah... All my other ones have pretty much been canceled. Well, 110th time's the charm! Right? Right? So what's the POD? In 1955 Eisenhower announces that, due to heath issues and age he will not be running for re-election. How long will this last if you...
