Nixon serves out his term. He ends his term in office with high popularity for ending the Vietnam war and opening doors to China. This opens the door for almost any republican to win.
No way Ford runs for office, however a Republican wins in '76. Ronald Reagan is a good possibility to win in '76.
With a functional military, and with a POTUS with a spine, the Iranian hostage crisis is properly addressed or never occurs in the first place.
Muslims thus do not believe that America is weak. 9/11 never happens.
I LOVE your scenario!
Several have said here that no Nixon downfall meant we would never have had Reagan. I have responded that Reagan, a one of a kind, would have risen no matter what.
But I missed the obvious: No Nixon, no Ford.
Thanks.

USSR goes backrupt earlier shortly after Reagan became president in 76. Nixon convinced the ChiComs to become capitalists. Carter never becomes president, and the Green Nazis never gain a foothold. We drill for oil in America and in Alaska and continue to build nuclear power plants. As a result the Opecker Princes continue to ride camels instead of having a fleet of Mercedes and private jets. There is no Islamofascist terrorism because the Mass Murdering Mullahs never gain power in Iran. Our Supreme Court would not be like the current one as well as Federal Judges throughout America.
