nov 8, 1988 - Cooper Re-Elected

Description:

Valerie Cooper is re-elected President. The GOP ran on a campaign of "we’re letting socialism creep in through public healthcare, education investment, and over-regulation. While they’re moving toward capitalism, we’re drifting away from it.” This message failed to resonate with the broader country, who are benefiting from Progressive reforms.
