I was just spending my Saturday morning like most normal people, drinking coffee and watching NBC's 1996 election night coverage, and I started to wonder, who is the best plausible (so no hologram Reagan) 1996 candidate you could run against Clinton. Assuming said candidate could have everything break their way to get in the general, who would run the most competitive race against Clinton? Dole kind of seemed past his sell by date, but no one seems to float to the top.
Some people I initially kicked around before realizing they probably couldn't edge out Clinton in 96
Pete Wilson
Elizabeth Dole
McCain
HW (this would be a fun TL someday)
