Adlai Stevenson was famously nominated by the Democrats in 1952 and 1956. Similarly, Thomas E. Dewey was nominated in 1944 and 1948 against two different presidents. Richard M. Nixon lost in 1960 but came back in 1968 and won re-election in 1972.

Scenarios like this are pretty much impossible in the modern era with the increasingly longer, more strenuous and complicated politics of the U. S. presidential election... but the challenge here is to do exactly that.

Take any post-WWII presidential loser (or OTL winner made into a loser) and have them re-nominated by a major party in a future election through whatever method you see fit.

I suppose a Grover Cleveland scenario (wins once, loses, runs again) works as well.
