[1] An outsider, campaigning against the political establishment both of his own party and that in Washington is elected in a time of great change, but due to his inexperience, is unable to produce the change he wants, losing re-election after a series of unfortunate events.
[2] A young Southerner is elected after years of his party wandering the political wilderness. Despite his election being seen as a victory for radicals in his party by political opponents, he grows to moderate, and, although personally popular, is weighed down post presidency for controversial scandals and
ties to a wealthy Jew who died controversially.
[3] The son-
in-law of a former president bogged down by disappointment in his own party, he defeats a
young maverick in the primary using racial rhetoric before using “Good Ol’ Boy” tactics to win not just one, but two elections. Elected as a peacemaker and relative moderate, is remembered as a bumbling Southern fool who started not one (Uganda) but two (Sudan) disastrous wars in the same region.
[4] Failed presidential candidate, oft-mocked and hated, finally enters the presidency a bitter and furious man in the midst of a disastrous war in a three-way race with a comically vile and corrupt vice president. Spends his term reshaping the world in his image, stuffing the court, and breaking his political enemies down. Wins in one of the biggest landslides in modern American history against a radical midwesterner and then throws it all away in a vain attempt to hold onto power.
[5] Incredibly old and racist man from a Southern state who switched parties due to Richard Nixon enters office due to a shock choice as Vice President and the personal failings of his predecessor. Opposition fear-mongers about him but he fails to get anything of purpose done as president due to split congress; idolized by the most annoying members of his party.
[6] Media-savvy man with a pornographic past breaks every major political rule and is elected president after defeating the wife of a former president thanks in part due to the failures of the previous administration and a vote-splitting former Southwestern governor. Spends his entire time in office mired in controversy, but maintains a cult following. Is defeated in a controversial election and tries to hold onto power, before being defeated.
Dies while campaigning for a nonconsecutive term.
[7] Former Republican congressional leader fucks around and ends up in office due to scandal surrounding the incumbent president. Spends much of his term as a footnote, but exits the scene of one of the most disastrous wars in American history (Uganda) and pardons his predecessor to much fanfare and controversy. Loses re-election after a primary to his right to an outsider representing a dying wing of the party.
[8] Transformative candidate once a member of a
foreign-controlled political group runs with his biggest primary opponent, a man of extensive foreign policy experience, and defeats an incumbent president. Pushes through much of his agenda, arguably saving his party and movement after a scandal-filled presidency, and despite his strong ideological commitments, militarism, and arguable war crimes, becomes incredibly popular among Americans, destroying his opponent for re-election by unfathomable margins.
[9] The first president of his kind, he utilizes charisma and media savvy to open the minds of the country to a man like him as president. Defeats a maverick within the opposing party and a cultist and despite high hopes for his presidency, largely bungles it, and arguably makes things worse for his community. His chosen successor, increasingly unpopular and scandal-tied, is defeated for re-election, destroying his legacy.
[10] A foreign policy wonk, she utilizes an incredibly racist campaign to be elected president, grows very popular due to foreign policy successes but things begin to sour as the economy declines and radicals within her party begin to want more…
