***********************************************

Constitutional Conservative Senator Warren Harding (R-OH) was a critic of Wilsonian policies and had opposed US entry into the League of Nations. Harding wins the 1920 election over Democrat James M. Cox (whose VP running mate is Franklin D. Roosevelt). It is the largest landslide in the history of US Presidential elections (60% - 34%).

Harding inherits a severe economic depression from the socialist Wilson. In his first year, Harding slashes income taxes, cuts government spending by 25%, and then 25% more the following year. The inflation and unemployment rates drop quickly as an economic boom follows.

Harding's support for free-market economics, limited government, non-interventionist foreign policy, and his refusal to grant recognition to Lenin's gang in the Soviet Union, dismays the Globalists. An intense media smear campaign regarding Harding's "scandals" is unleashed.

During the evening on August 2, '23, Harding shudders and dies suddenly in the middle of conversation. Doctor's differ on the cause of death and no autopsy is performed. Assassination-by-poison theories circulate throughout America. Not surprisingly, modern Globalist-liberal historians rate Warren Harding as the "worst President ever."

Upon becoming President after Harding's strange death, the country doesn't know what to make of Calvin Coolidge. It is generally expected that the unknown Coolidge will serve out the remaing 17 months of Harding's term and be replaced by the Republicans for the 1924 election. But Coolidge becomes very popular and is nominated by the GOP in 1924.

Amazingly, the Democrat candidate, Rep. John Davis, is also nationalist, free market conservative! The situation is so bad for the Globalists that they have to put up Robert La Follete as a Progressive Party candidate. Coolidge carries 35 of 48 states, Davis wins 12, and La Follette carries only his home state of Wisconsin!

Coolidge continues Harding's policies of tax cuts, spending cuts, debt reduction, non-interventionism in foreign affairs, and non-recognition of the murderous Soviet regime. A period of peace and prosperity known as "The Roaring Twenties" have the Constitutional Republicans riding high in popularity. What's a poor Globalist to do?

In the mid 1920's, The Federal Reserve Bank begins laying a time bomb beneath the nation's, and the world's, prosperity. When the financial time bomb finally explodes in 1929, the era of limited government and free enterprise Republicanism will be destroyed for good.

While I believe that Harding and Coolidge were the best presidents of the 20th century by a wide margin, I wouldn't put them on a par with Ron or even Rand Paul; they did, afterall, sign off on some fairly protectionist tariffs, fail to go after the Federal Reserve, and (particularly in Coolidge's case) assent to some draconian Prohibition-enforcement policies.

true, but I wonder if they even understood just how evil the Fed was. Before engineering the '29 disaster, it would have been hard to pin blame on the Fed for anything toooo serious.
 
If you think it would be tough for Ron to grab the GOP nomination, it's fairly certain to say that Democrats would never nominate Rand Paul...
 
I took this thread title seriously. I'm bummed now, I was hoping for some kind of time travel scenario.
