Think about it. Had Michael Dukakis beat George H.W. Bush in 1988 they would not been a Bush/Clinton/Bush/Obama.
Democrats would have went with Sharpton or Jackson or Gephardt in 1996 or something.
What if we wake up and find this has all been a dream and JR wasn’t really shot?
Now I have that stupid Europe “final countdown” song in my head.
“The dims might have run the dead body of Stalin.”
They came close to that last time with Bernie.
I’m an idiot....I can’t believe nobody called me out on the date....cripes.
Thank you all for your kindness.
You were on a roll.

If Ross Perot would have won...........
You recall correctly. And the only reason Clinton first ran for the presidency was because he had nothing to lose. GHWB’s post-Desert Storm approval ratings were so high, no other Democrat felt he/she had a chance, so didn’t bother running. So Hart or not, we would most likely have ended up right where we are today.
The Bush curse.
Would the Soviet Union still have collapsed (with Dukakis taking credit, of course)? Or would Dukakis have rescued it?
But then Saddam Hussein would still be in power and Al Gore would have passed a ton of environmental nonsense like methane emissions from unicorns.
Same goes for John F. Kennedy and PT-109!
Maybe, maybe not - there is no way of knowing how such a scenario would have played out. However, one thing is certain: There would currently be an ultra-liberal justice sitting in the seat currently held by Clarence Thomas now, as well as the last 25+ years with all of the numerous 5-4 conservative decisions going the other way over the course of those 25 years. Now what effect do you think that would have had on the country?
The same could be said if Pat Buchanan had beaten Bush.
nice.
and bob dole.
and Ike ?
eventually the Nimitz & planes would run out of fuel and ammo...might not make it to Europe ?
What if there were no hypothetical questions?
Is she in a wheelchair?
