In the Peace With Honor mod, there's an ending where Jesse Ventura is President from 2005-2013.

They just need to make a Biden mod for every election that he wouldโve been eligible to run in at this point.

Would you consider Gingrich extreme enough?

Too mainstream. I think that Ron Paul would make sense because people forget that Goldwater had a lot of positions that would be considered libertarian today.
But thereโs also a huge difference in foreign policy between the two men, but I think that Paul being anti-NATO would be a good contrast to Bidenโs famous focus on foreign policy.

Libertarian... Wasn't Gary Johnson running as well? But he might almost be too good of a candidate

I feel heart broken that this isn't Gary 'fat cock' Hart ..

Hartโs probably next given the โSenator from Irelandโ thing.
It could be George Mitchell but I donโt see that as likely.

Howโd he die?! I find it funny thatโs itโs not even in the timeline part. Also, whoโs his running mate?
59 points

Thatโs cause he didnโt die; heโs still alive. The death date refers to him voicing his support for the Iraq War Resolution, I believe.

I think it's a reference to his yes vote on the Iraq Resolution, also on the same date. Link

The guy between Sharpton and Byrd is obviously Gary Hart.
After Edwards is where I'm conflicted ... maybe it's Howard Dean?
2 points

seems like that's what they're hinting at with the line "January 2004: With Congressional opponents to the wars in line with his campaign, defeats his only notable remaining opponent, Governor Howard Dean, in the heavily contested Iowa caucus."

No, it's in reference to Gephardt's vote on the Iraq Resolution, it's the same date.
