1992

The first big change in this scenario is that instead of picking Quayle as his running mate, Bush picks Jack Kemp instead. He was one of the finalists for the VP pick along with Bob and Elizabeth Dole, and it will bolster his credentials when he runs in 1996. It also gives Bush more credibility...

30 years ago today, a group of LAPD officers who were recorded beating a black motorist named Rodney King were controversially acquitted. Their acquittal sparked riots and may have been a contributing factor to the results of that year's elections. Even now, the repercussions of the case can be...

"A new partnership of nations has begun, and we stand today at a unique and extraordinary moment. The crisis in the Persian Gulf, as grave as it is, also offers a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation. Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective—a new world...

Mario Cuomo was a politician most well known for his liberal beliefs and oratory skills, most notably his "Tale of two cities" speech at the 1984 Democratic National Convention. Since then, he was considered a favorite for the 1988 and 1992 presidential nomination. However, both times, he...

So I had this idea of a scenario, let's say instead of southerner Bill Clinton winning the party nomination, Jimmy Carter instead runs and somehow wins for alternate history sakes. And so, after winning, Carter then faces incumbent George H.W. Bush who already was unpopular due to recession and...

You can probably guess why this is on my mind right now, but I think it's a valid question: what if Stacey Koon and the other four officers who beat Rodney King had been found guilty?

When Batman: The Animated Series made its debut in 1992, it proved a major critical and commercial success. Three months after its premiere on Fox Kids, the Fox network also began airing it on prime time. Unfortunately, they made the questionable decision to put it in the same time slot as 60...

What if Michael Dukakis decided to run again in 1992? The situation for Bush 41 was already different than it was in '88. He already lost support among conservatives. Dukakis who in OTL retired from politics instead sees the opportunity and decides to take a one final shot in this election, by...

Let's say Bush 41 refuses to run for another term in 1992. As a result, you have a Republican primary with Pat Buchanan being candidate and possibly winning the primary. Bill Clinton wins the Democratic primary just like OTL. Ross Perot still joins race as an independent. How would the election...

I know that Ross Perot was different candidate compared to Clinton or Bush in '92 election and his voters were most likely to vote for Clinton as they were to Bush. But what is most realistic way can we have H.W. Bush replacing Dan Quayle with Ross Perot as V.P. around May-June 1992 when Perot...

What if Bill Clinton won the 1992 election? What if his sex scandals were revealed later, or weren't revealed at all? What if Ross Perot decided to run four years earlier instead of waiting until 1996? Also, Would he have had as much success in 1992 as he did in 1996? Bush's victory over Clinton...

What if things go just right for Bush, and he wins 1992 in a landslide? Let’s say Perot waits until 1996, the Dems nominate someone weak (or Clinton is caught with his pants down in late October/early November), and he is able to keep his approval ratings up. Who in 1996? If the economy still...

What if Ross Perot won the 1992 election? What are some effects of this? Does he win in 1992? Does the reform (or whatever name his party gets) replace either the democrats or republicans as one of the "two parties" or do we get a three party system? Who does Perot face in '96? If he wins '96...

Geraldine Ferraro is most remembered for being the first female Vice Presidential nominee of a major party when she ran with Walter Mondale in 1984. After her Vice Presidential run she tried to run for the NY Seat in the Senate in 1992, very nearly winning the primaries, but losing by less than...

Something that has got me thinking while doing my ATL football topic is of a different kind of Euro '92. As we all know, Sweden '92 would be the last tournament that would have 8 teams before it would be expanded to 16 teams for England '96, but what if it was to happen four years earlier for...

___________________________________ Less than seven years ago he was ridiculed for his confused statement on Mars. Less than four years ago he was still though to be a joke. Less than two years ago he was still thought to be powerless. But everything was changing. Now he had the opportunity...

What if British Prime Minister John Major had resigned after Black Wednesday in 1992? IOTL, Major in fact wrote a letter of resignation and nearly tendered it to the Queen, however he decided in the end not to. TTL he resigns. This likely also brings an early end to Norman Lamont's time as...

First of all, I am not that much of writing an alternate history style story, (see my "From The Ashes", an alternate history modern-day Philippine Civil War) since it is not my forte(and I am lazy as f. with my burden of some bored sap singing anime and vocaloid songs..Someone has to take my...

One of my favorite presidents Ross Perot died early morning today on February 18th 2017 of liver failure. Perot of course was the first president not to be Republican or Democrat since Millard Fillmore and the first Indpendent to be elected president back in 1992. And then of course formed the...
