Grover Cleveland IOTL holds the unique distinction of serving two nonconsecutive terms as POTUS without serving the intervening time. What's more, the election to the intervening term (in 1888) was extraordinarily close--Cleveland won the popular vote despite losing the electoral vote to Benjamin Harrison.

What I'm asking is this: If Cleveland had won in 1888, would he have the credibility to win the 1892 election as well? Would he be interested in subverting the Washingtonian two-term tradition?
