1996 election

POD is Ross Perot begins his 1992 Presidential campaign with James Stockdale as his running mate by founding the Reform Party in 1990 as a protest to the beginning of negotiations for NAFTA . For the 1990 Congressional elections he has his party candidates stand all seats in the Congress and...

1994 would be the year to doom the Clinton presidency. After two decades in the political wilderness, liberals had found their champion - an overweight sex addicted ex hippie from Arkansas. Despite his opponent being unbelievably popular at one point, Clinton wandered into the presidency in...

Hello! This is another attempt of mine to start and, more importantly, finish a timeline. I like this idea and am excited about doing it, and I hope you all will share that feeling with me. Just to get this out of the way, my goal is to have an update for this posted once a week, most likely on...

During the 1992 presidential debates, Ross Perot mentioned that should he be elected, he would only serve one term, saying and I quote: "If the American people send me up to do this job, I intend to be there one term. I do not intend to spend one minute of one day thinking about re-election."...

Renewing America's Contract Story inspired by u/Dwarfer_Iceberg on reddit.com ~1996~ November 5th, 1996 After months of campaigning, debates, and contests the 1996 Presidential election arrived. Four years prior Bill Clinton defeated a unpopular George H. W. Bush by a considerable margin...

I am working on a AH scenario which revolves around some 90s PoDs. The main one being the success of 1993 WTC bombings and ''War on Terror'' starting 8 years earlier. Another one PoD is also in 1993 and its about Alexander Rutskoy and the Supreme Soviet impeaching Yeltsin. This leads to the...

Basically, the 1993 WTC bombing succeeds and ''War on Terror'' starts 8 years earlier. First of all, the ''rally around the flag'' would prevent the 1994 republican gains in Congress. The 1996 election would pretty much resemble the IRL 2004 election with it's focus on security. Would the...

What if instead of Bill Clinton, his VP Al Gore was president during the 1990s? With the PoD presumably being that his son doesn’t get involved in a car accident. What would happen? What would be different? Who would be his running mate? Who would be in his cabinet? How well would his presidency...

What would be the impact if Bob Dole remained in the Senate, and instead withdrew from the 1996 Republican primaries? Who would Slick Willy face off against in '96, and what would the impact be, if any, on the wider political history of the United States and the world?

"Zyuganov Beats Yeltsin in 1996". How does this affect Russian history (pre-2000, so this technically counts)? Does democracy in Russia still die? Faster or slower than normal?

OK, so Rev. Jesse Fucking Jackson. The best thing to come out of South Carolina since Mt. Rushmore. One of the U.S.'s best fucking Presidents, and not just because he became America's first AA leader just 24 years after the Civil Rights Act was passed. He and VP Ted Kennedy (RIP) did some...

Suppose that a Democrat is elected President in 1988. (It doesn't have to be Dukakis. It could be Gore, Gephardt, and anyone else who failed in the primaries or didn't run IOTL). Does Ross Perot still run for President in 1992 (or 1996 for that matter)? If so, does he run as an independent or as...

If Bill Clinton had lost the 1992 election to George H.W. Bush, who would the Democrats have nominated in 1996? And would they have gone on to win the general election?

*Notices Title* OwO What's this? A timeline based on the 1996 United States presidential election inspired by a post I made on the Alternate Presidents and PMs board. What happened to A Thousand Points of Light, your amazing timeline you should all totally check out *wink* *nudge*? Don't...

With the POD(s) being sometime after 1988, your challenge is to have Pat Buchanan become the Republican nominee for President of the United States. The reason I say "nominee", is because he doesn't necessarily have to win the general election that follows; however, I do want to see which states...

Riding off his popularity from the Persian Gulf War, many wanted General Colin Powell to run against President Clinton in 1996. He was not only the one Republican to beat Clinton in opinion polling, but he was projected to crush the President in the popular vote. However, Powell declined to run...

In 1992, George H.W. Bush lost the election against Bill Clinton. How would things be different if Dubya senior had won a second term?

If Bill Clinton got into a scandal earlier, could he have lost the election in 1996? How could Bob Dole win that election?

"The Presidency of Bill Clinton is among the among the most tragic in American History. Defeating incumbent President George H.W. Bush and eccentric billionaire Ross Perot by a comfortable margin, Clinton and his wife Hillary had become the symbol for a country looking to enjoy an era of peace...
