2016 def. Bernie Sanders / Alan M. Grayson (DEM-VT/FL)
[1] Incontrovertible evidence of Bush the Elder's involvement in Iran-Contra is leaked, putting him out of the contention for the 1988 election. Dole, the new heir to Reagan's throne, wins the primary easily. Dukakis and the Democrats wage a vigorous campaign criticizing the GOP for the whole Iran-Contra affair, but Dole is able to successfully isolate himself from the controversy and win a surprising landslide victory.
[2] Capitalism is victorious in the world and America in the Gulf, but the thorn in Honest Bob's crown was the trade issue. Together with a contentious GOP primary, more ethics scandals, and a rebellion of the populist center and right, the GOP loses in a landslide to Lieberman, a "New" Democrat.
[3] After achieving over a fifth of the vote in 1996, the Reform Party under Lee Iacocca is ready to strike again in 2000, with an aim at victory. For maximum populist appeal, Iacocca campaigns on a promise to institute a national referendum system if elected. The fall election is close, deadlocked, and sent to the House and Senate for a historic compromise. Lieberman and the Democrats retain the Presidency, Frist and the Republicans get the veep slot, and Reform secures the passage of a Referendum Amendment to the Constitution. Unfortunately for Reform, their movement begins to fade with the passage of the Referendum Amendment.
[4] After two defeats with "compassionate conservatives" at the helm, it's time for the doctrinaire wing of the GOP to take back their party and America. However, with the populist conflicts of the 1990s resolved, a continued split in the GOP over the trade issue, and with New Democratic Liebermanism popular in the country, it seems that America just isn't thinking what DeLay and Jock are thinking.
