Supposing for the sake of argument that for whatever reason Bill Clinton decides to not challenge for the Presidency in 1992, perhaps George Bush doesn't compromise over raising taxes, but waits until 1996 before throwing his hat in the ring. The first question becomes does this bring any more candidates for the Democratic nomination over our timeline's out of the woodwork, and the concomitant second question of who would be the most likely to win? The third main question is would a different challenger be enough for Bush to eke out a re-election, with or without his previous mishandling of the tax issue?
