If Washington had come out in support of Hamilton over Adams would this be possible? Even with the scandal. How would the '96 election turn out? Would we still end up with Jefferson vp or would Pickeney make it without the Hamilton connivery.

I'd say best route would be three term Washington who dies in office in 1799 - Adams picks Hamilton as VP but is not elected in 1800 when Jefferson wins and keeps Hamilton as VP to have bipartisan support, duel never happens, Hamilton survives to become president in 1809. What do you think?
