Grand Old Party

After *the collapse of the Republican Party,* the Grand Old Party (GOP) arrived to pick up the pieces. Like the Republican Party before it, it contained many competing ideologies, but in general, it was on the center-right on both the economic and social axes of the political spectrum. Throughout its existence, it struggled to move past the baggage from their association with Nixon. The Grand Old Party had to manage the disparity between their loyalty to the ideals of the Republicans, and their desire to bring the conservative movement into the future.

## Collapse of the GOP

After the 1984 Presidental Election that resulted in the GOP losing to the Presidency to Kevin O'Leary, the United States House flipped in control of the Right Bloc and the Senate remained in Democratic control. The GOP and its leadership made deals behind closed doors with the Democratic Party and Nancy Pelosi. Originally, the Right Bloc was planning on backing Rep. Randy Economy for House Speaker. However, on the day of the Speakership Vote, 9 members of the GOP, including their House Leader, Teddy Heath, surprisingly voted "Present", giving the speakership back to the Democratic party. Then in the senate, for the vote on President Pro Tempore, the Democrats joined the GOP in electing a GOP candidate.

This caused mass controversy towards both parties with some members of the GOP and Democratic Party openly calling out the actions of these house and senate members. The media, as well as the American people, saw this as nothing more than a corrupt deal to stay in power. Democrats' polling dropped to around 38%, while the GOP's dropped down to 3%.

GOP funding completely dried up, members were being called to resignm and Teddy Heath, who was a part of organizing the corrupt deals, had announced his intentions to retire at the end of that congress. Teddy Heath eventually found a job at his local Dairy Queen a few weeks after his resignation. Membership in the GOP fell massively. However, the final nail in the coffin which triggered the complete collapse, came after their 1984 Presidental Nominee Robert Arrington had announced he was leaving the party because of a "lack of ideological direction and the inability of the party to establish a coherent platform". After only 7 years of existing, the Grand Old Party had officially dissolved.

### **Aftermath**

After the GOP officially dissolved, most elected members switched over to either the Christian Democratic Union or the Liberty Coalition. After 10 months of a Democratic speaker, a vote to vacate the chair finally passed and the Right Bloc officially elected Rep. Randy Economy as Speaker. Before they collapsed, the GOP had 15 House Seats, 4 Senate Seats and 6 Governorships. Some talks have come up to try to bring back the party, but it seems it will never return. The final nail in the coffin solidifying this fact was when the United Conservative Party was formed, defeating the purpose of bringing back the GOP.

Rockefeller's single house term is most notable for his writing and proposition of the Nuclear Energy Reform & Incentivization Act (NERIA), which is a law that decreases taxes for all nuclear plants built post-1991 by 15% to encourage the increased construction of nuclear plants. It also requires all nuclear power plants that begin construction after 1992 to utilize thorium instead of uranium reactors. The bill passed both houses and got signed in to law by then-President Kevin O'Leary in mid-1991. Rockefeller managed to win a second, non-consecutive term in 1994.

 State
 Popular Vote
 Percentage
Democratic Party

The Democratic Party has the biggest of the big tents. In general, the party's philosophy of modern American liberalism seeks to blend cultural liberalism and social equality with support for a mixed capitalist economy - but there are exceptions. Blue Dog Democrats, for instance, who find nearly all their support in the South, lean in a more culturally conservative direction, and are often frustrated with members of the Progressive Caucus, who are steadfast in their support for civil rights. New Democrats, on the other hand, find their support squarely in the middle of these two often squabbling factions. At the end of the day, though, while they may have differences, they're all still Democrats - and they know it needs to stay that way if they're going to keep winning elections.

Marianne Williamson

Marrianne Williamson was born in Houston, Texas in 1952 and grew up in a Jewish family. After graduating from Pomona College with a degree in theater and philosophy, she moved to New York City to pursue a career as a cabaret singer and actress. In the early 1980s, Williamson experienced a profound spiritual awakening, and with her new book, she soon became a bestselling author.

## Electoral History

### 1988 Presidential Election

In 1986, Marianne launched a short lived Presidential Bid in the Democratic primary for the 1988 Presidential Election, but with little name recognition and up against a crowd of heavy hitters, low polling convinced Marianne to drop out of the race. Furthermore, when her message of "love" fell flat, she denounced the corruption that had taken root in the Democratic Party and switched to an Independent.

### 1988 New England Senate Election

Following her short lived presidential run, Marianne sought the New England Senate seat in the 1988 United States Congress Elections. Marianne would go on to win the democratic primary as an independent. Her race was the closest of the cycle being decided by less then 1% with Williamson lost by around 30,000 votes to Libertarian Coalition member Kate Lockwood.

### 1990 New England Senate Election

Following her very close loss in ‘88, Marianne tried again for the New England Senate seat in the 1990 United States Congress Elections, running against New Hampshire Rep. Jane Snow. When elected she became the first Independent elected to the senate under the new district map, and the first female elected as an Independent in American History.
