If Bush does gets assassinated by Sara Jane Moore, I wouldn't be surprised if some people honestly start taking those ITTL conspiracy theories that Reagan had a hand in Romney's death seriously. I mean, to conspiracy theorists, first Reagan suddenly gets sick and doesn't show up in Milwaukee, leading to Romney getting assassinated after that last minute schedule change in Milwaukee, and now possibly Bush gets killed and Reagan becomes president. I'm not normally a believer in conspiracies myself, but if I lived in this timeline in that situation, I think even I would be looking at Reagan with a bit more scrutiny and start wondering if those conspiracies might have some truth to them.
That said if Bush does get killed by Moore, your going to end up probably seeing a massive reform of the Secret Service ITTL happening. I mean, first JFK almost gets killed, then Romney is killed, and now possibly Bush, and it'd be worse here ITTL, because it'd be two successful assassinations in a row.
At least Reagan here is better than his OTL counterpart, so he might be somewhat of a better president. Cheney is screwed if Reagan becomes president though...
Hopefully Bush isn't killed here by Moore though.
