DBWI: What if Clinton was not assassinated?

We know that former Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton suffered the same fate as RFK did in 1968, When he was assassinated on June 5th, 1988 as he won the Democratic primary in Missouri, then Ross Perot was elected as President under the Democratic ticket, then our nation, weakend from Perot's policies and bad Presidency, to to point of Depression, was attacked by the Soviet Union, and the former US of America is now The American Soviet Socalist Republic,


May I ask you my fellow Soviets and other nationality peoples, what would have happend if Clinton didn't get assassinated?

OOC: It's an interesting topic, but you'd need a POD sometime before 1991. Just a friendly hint. ;)
 
OOC: Fine, changed it to 1988

OCC: Now this makes no sense, as Perot wasn't even on the national political stage in 1988 and his becoming the Democratic nominee for POTUS in '88 would involve an earlier (say around 1979/80) POD. Similarly, Clinton was a minor figure in 1988 - why would anyone (except a jealous husband :D) want to kill him? Your basic DBWI is good :) and I applaud this and your choice of topics. I wish I had seen the thread earlier, as I would have suggested that you drop the part about the USSR never falling & taking over the USA. That's where your DBWI went awry IMO. The 1992 setting itself was perfect for this DBWI.

This. Why would the SU attack the US, and how would they win? They were weakening by 1988, and Gorbachev was a reformist of sorts, and this was immediately before the breakup of the Soviet Union. If you stick simply to the Clinton Assassination, your DBWI is a lot better.
