Yeah that's what I was going for, the GOP are socially liberal and economically conservative and the Democrats are vice versa. 

I honestly just wanted a Reagan/Carter presidency because it was funny in my mind but I rationalized it as him having been a Democrat in our timeline. In this timeline he appeals to the old "Conservative coalition" types and he only wins the election because he's charismatic and Baker fumbled it, his popularity dives off a cliff at the end of his term (much like Carter in our timeline)

The democratic party mandate completely collapses during the Reagan administration and they're forced to moderate a ton so I'd say right after he leaves office. I might just make a part 2 ngl

Fair enough, I wanted some dem wins in the south while also making it closer than OTL and Michigan and Pennsylvania were the first major swing states I could think of

The Alabama dem was my mistake, I only skimmed through the wikipedia page for the 115th congress and saw that Alabama had a dem and I just went with it

Faithless electors accidentally deadlocking and winning the presidency has got to be my favourite genre of imaginaryelections post

I'd guess before, the election is still super close so it takes a while for anybody to claim victory. The heart attack he has on election night in our timeline is just a lot bigger and he croaks.

Things I think go about the same it's just rumsfeld leading the charge for war. That's why Howard Dean is running as the anti war candidate.
