My favorite counter-factual is JFK not being assassinated and pulling the US out of Vietnam, then handing off the baton to RFK who beats the dogshit out of Goldwater in 68 and Nixon in 72. So much bad, crazy poo poo could've been avoided.

After all, I can't be the only person uncomfortable with the thought of a pill popping sex addict with a serious medical issue having his finger on the nuclear button.

Nah. JFK never trusted anyone in his military command after the Cuban Missile Crisis. He personally thought that LeMay was completely insane.

What if John Kerry had become president in 2005?

The Democrats would've gotten the blame for things turning to poo poo in Iraq and for the Great Recession. The Tea Party might never have coalesced, but you can bet your rear end he'd be a 1-termer with either McCain or Romney taking the presidency in 2008. The Dems would be locked out of the halls of power until at least 2016.
