1991 Gubernatorial Election​

In 1991 only three States chose their governors, all controlled by the AIP and without much dispute. Everyone knew who would win in each State, the question was by how much. Analysts were waiting for more proof that Trump's popularity would increase the votes of AIP.

And they had their evidence. In Louisiana Governor Bob Livingston was reelected by huge margins. In Kentucky the Congressman Carl Perkins, 37 years, ran by AIP and was elected by a comfortable margin.

In Mississippi the party faced a tough primary between several candidates, which ended up bleeding. The chosen turned out to be the most controversial of all: Ross Barnett Jr., the son of former Governor and Senator running under the policies of his father, with the hope of being a new generation of the Barnett family in power. His victory was soon considered certain, but on election day, the surprise was by their huge numbers. Barnett Jr. received 69% of the vote.

1992 Republican Party Presidential Candidates​

When the announcements of candidacy for the next year began in 1991, the popularity of Trump was so great that many gave up of competing. The first to declare that he would run, and no one had ever had any doubts, was former Senator George H. W. Bush.

Bush believed that if Trump was president, he was to blame, he who had not had the ability to win in Texas. And he knew that if no one else believed, he believed that this time he could win..

Some of the other prominent GOP names that were surveyed ended up holding back their hopes for 96. Among them was House Party leader Donald Rumsfeld and California Senator Maureen Reagan.

Names that had already been candidates other times, such as Bob Dole, Lenore Romney and William Cohen were cited and equally denied.

One that many considered the future of the party, the newly elected Governor of New York David Rockefeller joked for months the idea of launching candidate, but eventually decline.

In the end, the only candidate to challenge Bush in a primary that, in everyone's opinion, would elect a sacrificial lamb for Trump, was Connecticut Governor Lowell P. Weicker.

1992 Democratic Party Presidential Candidates​

The heaviest Democrats followed the same logic as the Republicans and postponed their ambitions for 1996. The rumors of a 4th Kennedy in the presidency (something completely media, since the new generation of the Kennedy was not experienced or old enough) or a return of RFK (resurging every four years) were quickly denied.

Some other prominent party names have denied their intentions to run, such as Tom Foley, Skip Humphrey, Ed Kock, Jerry Brown or the Bayh. Much speculation has occurred around Senator Clinton, but was considered risky to use their status as "The Last Southerner" against the extremely popular Trump.

A single person challenged the general knowledge and launched a new race for nomination. Pat Schroeder had won the hearts of Americans as a candidate for Vice President, and now hoped to use her popularity and her almost celebrity status to challenge Trump.

Former Vice President Mike McCormack, chosen by John Glenn, decided to challenge Schroeder for the nomination. Many analysts commented that his candidacy was only in order to provide a minimally real contest for Schroeder, since the party leaders thought that a full coronation would be disadvantageous.

Pat Schroeder 78%

1992 Democratic Party Presidential Primaries​

Just as it was happening in the Republican primaries, less voters appeared to vote than normally. This number was a mix of two bad news for the Democrats and Republicans: many of their voters had abandoned them for Trump, and many of those who were still with them already knew they would lose. This effect was slightly smaller in the Democrats due to the charismatic presence of Pat Schroeder.

And this huge appeal from Schroeder appeared in all polls for the nomination, and when Iowa voted on February 10, it showed a huge victory. McCormack entered the race to lose and only provide an "opponent" for Pat, so he continued on the run to the end.

McCormack did not win in one state. The former vice president was ambitious in his heart to be chosen as VP of Pat, but he was soon dismissed. Among the few charismatic and important names that were available, Schroeder eventually chose Delaware Senator Joe Biden. Patricia Schroeder became the first woman to get a nomination of one big party.

1992 Republican Party Presidential Primaries​

The number of voters in the Republican primaries fell sharply compared to 1988, and everyone knew the reasons. Trump.

The dispute between Bush and Weicker was considered by most to have won by Texas, but research indicated a slightly bitter election that the Democratic primary. So much that after the victory of Bush in Iowa, Weicker won in New Hampshire. The Governor of Connecticut repeated his victory days later in Maine.

Former Senator Bush won in South Dakota, but Weicker surprised by winning in Alaska the following week. On March 3, Bush won in Colorado, Georgia, and Maryland. From this date until the end of March Weicker won only in three states: Rhode Island, Connecticut and Vermont. Weicker's last win before retiring from the race was Delaware.

After Bush's victory, speculation about his VP began. The first rumors is that he would choose Jack Kemp again. Soon after Maureen Reagan's name was quoted, but she showed no interest. In the end the chosen one was the opponent in the primary, Lowell P. Weicker.

In the week of the Republican Convention a poll was released. She predicted dark times for the two old parties. Trump stood out as the favorite franc, in what many had called Trumpslide. Who could defeat Trump? Who could stop Trump? Just a single unavoidable person.

Invasion of Kuwait​

The Republican Convention had ended just two days ago when new news broke the covers of every newspaper, overshadowing Bush's speech. During the early hours of August 22, 1992, Saddam Hussein ordered that Iraqi forces invade the territory of Kuwait.

When the day dawned a significant part of the country was already under Iraqi control, including the capital. The army advanced towards the Dasman Palace, aiming to capture the Emir of Kuwait

In the rest of the world opinions were consensual: Saddam Hussein was violating international peace and should either retreat or be punished. In the United States President Donald Trump told the press: "If this damn muslim dictator does not back down at this point, he can start praying to his God for me to lose the election. As soon as the ballot boxes are opened and I am re-elected, I promise you all that I will personally go to Baghdad to kick Saddam's ass. You know, no one better than me to win a war”.

As the world turned against Saddam, luck seemed to be on his side. As his troops invaded the palace, Emir Jaber fled into the desert. But a flaw in the escape plan caused Jaber to fall into the hands of his enemies. At the end of the day the whole country was under Saddam's rule, with the Emir and much of the royal family arrested.

Kuwait was declared the 19th Province of Iraq and Saddam Hussein appointed his cousin Ali Hassan al-Majid as the new General Governor of Kuwait. And two days later a new poll was launched

Donald Trump 51% (+3)

Mrs. Trump​

The announcement of the Kuwait Invasion yielded to President Trump an increase in polls. Their opponents grew increasingly groundless, anything they did increased support for the popular and charismatic President Trump. Everyone would admit, no one would destroy Trump, no one would stop Trump.

And the President shared this same thought. He was invincible, infallible, a man born to lead a country. But what the country did not know is that while the President and his wife slept in the White House, one person was already plotting the fall of Trump, a person so intimate that he would never distrust.

At the beginning of September 1992, as much as Donald Trump was a personality well known even before the presidency, the president's personal life was secretive. Since when he was the Governor of New York, Donald had a mistress.

The relationship between the actress Marla Maples and the President of the United States was kept in strict secrecy, with only a few rumors having leaked. And while the President was with his mistress, there was someone plotting the fall of the President, someone so intimate that he would distrust.

And on that night of September 1, when the Kuwait Invasion faded from the newspaper covers for other news, Donald Trump received his own news from his mistress. With his ego and his popularity greater than the universe, Donald Trump made his decision.

The next morning the President informed the First Lady of the news. A scream occurred at the White House. Allies of the president were called and he was persuaded to give up. This only increased his determination.

And when at the end of the day the White House issued its statement, the whole world discovered who was plotting against Trump, who was the only one capable of destroying Donald Trump. Trump himself, only that singular man could destroy himself. And he had just done it.

And in every newspaper the news was reproduced: "PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP ASKS THE DIVORCE. THE REASON? YOUR LOVER IS PREGNANT".

 

[AdrianoChika]

A Campaign in Chaos​

Trump's campaign for re-election came as a shock to the new national election poll. His candidate had dropped more than 15 points in a few days. An extremely easy election had become dangerously tight..

Presidential National Poll: September 5, 1992
Donald Trump 34% (-17)
George Bush 33% (+8)
Patricia Schroeder 31% (+10)​

How to stop this bleeding? No one knew. And worst of all for the leaders of the campaign: your candidate did not care. President Trump was convinced that he would win reelection without even worrying. His answer to everything was, "A Trump always wins."

While the President remained calm, the opposition was in jubilation. Pat Schroeder was trying to bring the First Lady (now almost a former First Lady) to campaign with him, to show Donald Trump's contempt for women. Republican candidate George Bush appeared as an example of a loyal and traditional man, speaking alongside his wife Barbara Bush and his eldest son, Senator George W. Bush.

When a second poll was released two days later, this one showing Bush in the lead and Trump tied with Schroeder, the AIP mobilized. The big names of the party went on a pilgrimage to the White House and met with the President. They spoke the truths he needed to hear. And then he was convinced. He would have to fight to win.

At the end of the meeting, Senator Strom Thurmond declared, "Let us pray that God will save this campaign from Chaos." The other politicians in attendance reported years later that President Trump countered the old Senator saying, "Or maybe the Devil shows a better opinion of our party?"

And unfortunately it seemed that President Trump was correct. The next day Iraqi President Saddam Hussein bombed Israel with Scud missiles. It was Trump's chance. He immediately boarded. And the President thought only of one thing: "What better than a war to win an election?"

 

[AdrianoChika]

The Israeli Question​

President Donald Trump was received at the airport by Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir. The photographers crowded together to take pictures of the two of them. The day before, Iraqi missiles were launched against Israel, and Trump was soon embarking to "solve" the issue.

Before accompanying Shamir to a meeting, the US president told reporters: "An alliance between my great country and this beautiful and holy country that is Israel is what is necessary to defeat Saddam and all the damned ones who support him."

No one has ever known what happened at the closed meeting between Trump and Shamir, but their outcome is known to every person on the planet. Its immediate effects, the coming war at high speed, the black trail of death and destruction that that meeting would cause were marked in the hearts of all peoples. Could we blame Shamir for this result? Probably not. Could we blame Trump for this result? Probably yes. Could we blame Saddam? Maybe yes. The truth is, no one really wanted the wave of deaths that the future would bring.

But coming back to the meeting, it lasted two hours. When it was over the two leaders walked to the starving journalists.

"My trip here was extremely rewarded. Me and Shamir fully understand each other about the solution to the problems in this region. All the problems."

"Me and my American friend agree on a total offensive against Iraq and any other Muslim country that ally with them."

And then it was the moment that Trump shut the world in surprise. "And we will solve two problems in one. I love the Jews, I love Israel. And this is the perfect time to include the enemies of Israel as enemies of the United States. Israel deserves all control of the Holy Land. Me and Shamir will resolve the issue between Israel and Palestine, and believe me, we will resolve it in the best way possible”.

Shamir applauded Trump's words. The others there were gradually digesting Trump's words. Some of Shamir's allies present soon began to applaud as well.

Already the journalists did not seem so willing to applaud, they did not seem to understand what Trump had just said. Some ventured a theory: Donald Trump wanted a war not just with Iraq but also with Palestine? At the moment, they did not know.

 

[AdrianoChika]

1st Debate​

The announcement of the new war that his government was engaged in did not cause the surge of immediate support that Trump had anticipated. Many felt that the new war was for electoral purposes only, since statements by the President when the crisis had begun had been to start offensive only after the election.

With the feeling that this war would only hurt the President, Trump got enough support from other parties to declare war on Iraq in Congress. Soon the troops began to be mobilized to leave for Iraq. At the same time the United States, Israel and Kuwait sent a request to the UN for a global coalition to be formed against Iraq.

Trump got in touch with his Russian friend, Boris Yeltsin, and he undertook to support the coming war. A poll on the election was launched, and it did not seem at all encouraging to the President.

Presidential National Poll: September 11, 1992
George Bush 35% (+2)
Patricia Schroeder 34% (+3)
Donald Trump 30% (-4)​

Trump considered that the ideal moment to reverse this would be in the 1st Presidential Debate. He knew that his charisma could destroy his enemies.

When the day came, the whole country stopped to watch the three presidential debates. Donald Trump obviously dominated.

"I will not lose, we still have a lot to win. We already won in Poland, we destroyed communism. We still have to win in Iraq, we have to win in Palestine, we can win in Iran or in any other enemy. We have to solve the question of Communist China, I mean, the false China. We still have to win and fix so much".

Former Sen. Bush countered the President by saying, "I'm sorry, but you want to go to war with the whole world. You were lucky to have won once. "

"You talking about winning? He needed to run in more than 5 elections to win a single. I have won at all times. You who won by luck. Low Energy Bush ". And the whole audience laughed.

Later in an argument with Schroeder, she accused the President of his lack of respect for women. He recalled the charges at the time in the campaign against Geraldine Ferraro and brought to the debate the recent subject of the betrayal of Ivana and her divorce. "You're a sexist who does not respect women President."

"Liar! Lyin Pat! I treat women with all the respect in the world. I love the women. Is there anything more respectful for a husband to do when he loves another than to seek a divorce? Why lock us both in a fake marriage? I was elected because I am sincere, authentic, because I am independent because I am of the people. I would not hide behind a lie to win an election! Lyin Pat, keeps his words to his empty head women voters and have them wash a dish. I and the majority of the American people want the truth, and we want the winning truth. "

The discourses and debates continued to the end of the night.

Who won the debate?
Donald Trump 46%
Patricia Schroeder 30%
George Bush 24%
Presidential National Poll: September 16, 1992
Donald Trump 34% (+4)
Patricia Schroeder 32% (-2)
George Bush 31% (-4)​

Donald Trump was back in the lead. And he believed that he would never leave.

 

[AdrianoChika]

UN Resolution and A Marital Enemie​

With support from the United States and Russia, a UN resolution was passed accusing Iraq and Saddam of crimes against humanity and disrupting international peace. A coalition began to be sewn under Trump and Yeltsin, first the countries that Trump "will liberate" from communism declared their support. Later other European countries like UK and France, as well as Canada, Australia and New Zealand. By the end of September Trump had succeeded, with Yeltsin's help, in bringing together the largest countries in the world in an alliance against Iraq and, potentially, against Palestine.

When things seemed to be improving for Trump, new bad news erupted in his country. Ivana Trump, the still-current First Lady appeared at a Pat Schroeder rally endorsing her for President and urging all women to vote against her husband.

"We're not going to wash the dishes anymore! We will no longer accept being betrayed and thrown away! Let us not subject ourselves to all our wants! I will no longer live under a male chauvinist and infidel named Donald Trump! Vote for Pat Schroeder to remove that man from the White House”.

Ivana's statement caused a stir in the country. Newspapers were reporting that the President was a terrible husband and constantly betrayed his wife. The First Lady exposed the entire married life of her husband.

Donald Trump countered all charges. "Lyin Pat and Crazy Ivana have gathered to destroy my image, the image of a man of the people, who never tires of giving victories to his country, which is sincere and authentic. Tell me, Americans from all over the country, is that what you want for the future? Do you want to hand over the White House to a liar because a rejected wife is insane and invents lies about her husband? "

In the end, Donald was not as bruised as expected, but Pat also came out scorched. A new election poll showed a loss for both.

Presidential National Poll: October 5, 1992
George Bush 34% (+3)
Donald Trump 32% (-2)
Patricia Schroeder 31% (-1)​

Bush had returned to the top spot in the polls and was determined to stay there. The Texan took a presidential stance between the "two children" fighting. He and his wife Barbara Bush became a symbol of decency in the midst of that lack of respect that the campaign was fast becoming.

The American people, regardless of which candidate they were supporting, hoped for 3 November to arrive quickly.

​

The weeks went by, the debates heated up, the moods exalted. The country entered a furious war between three parties. Everyone wanted 3 November 1992 to arrive, and everyone wanted their candidate to win.

-We have a really important projection to do. The state of Pennsylvania will maintain its tradition and will give its 23 electoral votes to the Democratic Party.

-We have a novelty now. The important state of New York, where President Trump was once governor, has just been called to George Bush. The Republican candidate may thank Governor David Rockefeller, who has campaigned intensively in the state. President Trump holds the lead with 113 Election Votes, Pat Schroeder comes in 2nd place with 108 Election Votes and George Bush, thanks to victories in Michigan and New York, appears with 66 Electoral Votes.

-This night promises to be long. The results in Florida do not look good to Trump, if he loses there, I do not see a possible path to his victory. And it looks like Maine will split their votes. We have a lot of tight races, tighter than the polls had predicted. Impossible to know who will be the next president at this time.

-Some state to pay more attention?

-Several, all perhaps, but the most important at this point are Indiana, Missouri, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and Florida. And Texas, obviously. But this analysis can still change a lot overnight. Let's take a look at the map right now.

92% Maine CD-2: Trump 35,7% Bush 35,5% Schroeder 29%

91% New Hampshire: Bush 38,7% Schroeder 38,2% Trump 23%

82% Missouri: Bush 33,36% Trump 33,33% Schroeder 33,32%

70% Oklahoma: Trump 37,8% Bush 37,4% Schroeder 24%

51% Nebraska: Trump 37,24% Bush 37,18% Schroeder 25%

70% Nebraska CD-1: Bush 38% Trump 37,4% Schroeder 25%

65% Nebraska CD-2: Bush 37% Schroeder 36% Trump 27%

49% Nebraska CD-3: Trump 46% Bush 35% Schroeder 29%

- The results we are seeing now are really tight and interesting. I do not remember an election has as many states as fierce as this. Look at the Missouri, it's a three-way draw, literally. And Nebraska, in the first election in which it will use a method equal to that of Maine, may split its votes among the three parties. A win for Schroeder on CD-2 is not impossible, and Trump has the CD-3 relatively safe, if Bush wins the CD-1...

-Florida, Iowa, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, all have a difference of less than 0.5%. Anything could happen. The President must have as his first goal to keep Florida now that he has lost Texas. In 1988 Donald Trump also won Oklahoma, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska, now some of the most hotly contested states of the night. Schroeder should focus on Wisconsin, Iowa and Missouri, if she wins these three states, I see few chances that she will not be our next president. Senator George Bush should expect him to have the same fate in Oklahoma as he did in Texas, to narrow the gap between him and Trump in Florida and win in Wisconsin. And obviously Nebraska, on such a split night, each of their CDs can determine the winner.

-Let's take a look at the map right now. George Bush leads with 170 electoral votes, due to his great victories in California and Texas, Schroeder appears right behind with 164 electoral votes. President Donald Trump now appears in last place with 125 electoral votes. But if you remember, the night is just beginning and nothing has been decided yet.

1992 Election Night - Part 6​

4:00

- Let's now talk to our correspondents in all three campaigns. First let's see how the moods are in Trump's HQ.

TRUMP HQ:

- The president's supporters are in a rush here. The victory in Missouri is still being celebrated and everyone is confident of victory. I'm here with Vice President Don Fuqua. How do you interpret the results? Is President Trump on the way to re-election?

- The results are very positive, we will win big! Let's win in Iowa, let's win in Maine, let's win in Nebraska. Me and President Trump are going to continue our good work for another four years! We will win big and the whole country will support us!

- Mr. Vice President, a defeat would now affect your plans for 96?

-There is no chance of defeat, we know we will win. And 1996 is still far away, I am by no means a candidate, will be candidate who has the greatest support of the country and President Trump.

SCHROEDER HQ:

- Let us now see how is the mood in Pat Schroeder crowd.

- The Democrat candidate's crowd is already in party. They know that the easiest route to the presidency is for Pat. A win in Nebraska 2 would put her with 180 EVs, and with this number she could only win or draw. We are here with the candidate for Vice President, Senator Joe Biden of Delaware. How do you interpret Pat's chances?

-Great, great. We're going to win and we're going to make history. Pat will be the 1st woman president of that country. We're going to win in Nebraska and then we just have to win or win. And we will win even more, Iowa is still a possibility. But our focus on Nebraska and in the presidency.

- Do you think the fact that Pat was a woman affected the election?

- Of course not, Pat is an extraordinary candidate and will be a wonderful president. And our victory today will break the glass ceiling. Pat Schroeder is making history today.

BUSH HQ:

- And now let's see how Republican fans are doing..

- The presents here have not stopped celebrating since Bush's victory in Texas. Many of those who are here lived that feeling four years ago and saw their candidate's defeat there. Today is a party day here. Everyone thinks Bush has the best chance tonight. He is the only competitor in Iowa and all three CDs still to no avail. I'm here with Bush's son, Senator George Bush, who campaigned actively with his father and coordinated much of it. How do you see the chances of victory?

- Very tall. We are up front in Nebraska 1 and Nebraska 2. We are virtually tied for Maine 2 and Iowa. I see no path to our defeat.

- And speculation about your future, Senator Bush? Do you have the same presidential ambitions as your father?

- I do not think about it right now. Now I'm just waiting for confirmation of the victory and then I'm going to work to help transition and the Bush administration.

-BREAKING NEWS!!! Attention to all! We've broken out coverage of HQs to give you great news. The state that will probably decide this election. We can call the state of Iowa right now, by a tiny margin.

1992 Election Night - Part 7​

4:00

- And we can at this point call the state of Iowa to the United States President Donald Trump. This is a really big and important victory for the Trump campaign..

- This is the most unpredictable election I've ever seen in my life. Only 3 electoral votes, and we have three candidates with realistic chances of being elected president.

99,4% Maine CD-2: Trump 35,6108% Bush 35,6104% Schroeder 29%

- Do you see these numbers? It's a difference of only 2 votes between Trump and Bush. 2 VOTES! I've never seen anything like it in my entire life..



5:00

-BREAKING NEWS!!! We have extremely important news! The 1st District of Nebraska may be called for former Senator George Bush. I repeat, the winner of the 1st District of Nebraska is George Bush. This leaves the current result with Schroeder and Trump with 179 Electoral Votes and George Bush 178 Electoral Votes.

- It all depends on two small districts at this time. Let's take a look at them. In Maine Trump's lead increased to 4 votes.

99,5% Maine CD-2: Trump 35,611% Bush 35,61% Schroeder 29%

- In Nebraska Bush's current advantage is slightly wider than that of Donald Trump in Maine.

98% Nebraska CD-2: Bush 38,115% Schroeder 38,102% Trump 25%.

-Bush needs to win in both districts to be the next president. If Bush loses both, we have a tie between Schroeder and Trump. If Bush loses in Nebraska and wins in Maine, Schroeder is the next president. If Bush loses in Maine and wins in Nebraska, Trump is re-elected.



5:30

-Campaigns have now officially announced that if they get lost, they've asked for recounts in multiple states. This means that regardless of who wins today, will have to battle for the result in justice and probably the Supreme Court will have to interfere.

- Recount processes are already being studied in Indiana, Florida, Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma and several others. And let's take a look at this moment in the votes nationally.

95% USA: Bush 34,6% Schroeder 34,1% Trump 31,3%

- We can end up with a President, with two other people receiving far more votes than he. A President with only 31% of the votes, I think it is a negative record in our history.



6:00

-The result remains inconclusive. The forecast is that until 12:00 on November 4, 1992 we will have nothing new. I'm David Brinkley and I've been on this long, historic night with Peter Jennings. A good night from all over ABC for viewers. We will stop your normal schedule if new news appears.

- We ended this historic night without a president. God Bless America.

 

[AdrianoChika]

Nebraska CD-2​

-We are currently tracking the count of last votes in Nebraska's 2nd District. Former Senator George Bush still holds a small advantage, but the number of votes remaining is enough to reverse this 1 electoral vote to Congressman Pat Schroeder and therefore hand him the presidency.



There were large numbers of journalists in the two districts who were still counting the votes. While Maine was the tightest, Nebraska would be the first to give a result.

President Donald Trump had traveled to Maine while Schroeder and Bush were waiting for the result in Nebraska. The whole country was anxious and afraid of the future. Regardless of the outcome, recounts would be required in several states.



- Attention, attention to all. Let's go live now. The final result will be released in seconds.

The whole country was staring at the television. Is Pat Schroeder the next president? Or would the fight drag on between Trump and Bush?

-BREAKING NEWS !!! The country is still without a president. The 2nd District of Nebraska has just been called to George Bush. And right now there is no mathematical way for Pat Schroeder to become president. At this moment the three candidates have 179 electoral votes.



All the attention of the country then turned to Maine.
