Apparently Clinton came very close to changing his mind about running in 1988. Suppose he doesn't run for President that year after all. Who wins the Democratic nomination, and how do they do in the general?
 
Probably Jesse L Jackson. That would be crazy, a black nominee so early! He probably would loose though, wasn't very charismatic, so you would probably get George Bush as president.

He wouldn't become President that was (unjustifiably) seen as the starter of 89-93 "Great Slump".

Coupled with his mishandling of the Fall of Soviet Union (With Russia shedding trappings of Communism but managed to retain almost ALL Soviet territories, and thus Cold War continues as usual), it results in George H.W. Bush winning the 92 Election with the slogan "It's the Foreign Policy, stupid."
