Bob Dole Elected President In 1996

What If Bob Dole Had Defeated Bill Clinton And His Vice President Al Gore In An Upset In 1996? How Would The Administration Of Bob Dole And His Vice President Jack Kemp Faired? Would Dole Seek Reelection Or Would Kemp Be The Nominee? Who Would Democrats Nominate? I Would Like To Here Some Ideas.

Dole would seek reelection in 2000, he would get the nomination too. We are very likely to get something along these lines

Bob Dole -vs- Al Gore, US Presidential Election 2000 America finds a cure for Insomnia. 2000 would possibly have the lowest voter turn out in history, as neither of the candidates are particularly exciting. If Dole can beat Clinton than I suspect Gore can beat Dole.

My Prediction

1993-1997 Bill Clinton
1997-2001 Bob Dole
2001-2009 Al Gore
2009-now Mike Huckabee
 
Interesting to speculate on how Dole / Kemp handle terrorism. If somebody could "hand Dole UBL on a silver platter" would he take it? Would security procedures be such that nobody can attack USS Cole? (probably not - that port was probably too busy to prevent everybody from getting too close.)

On the economy - I am guessing that we still have a dot.com bubble - the question is does the policies of the Dole / Kemp team change the timing? And how does either this or a successor administration handle it?
