Alright, this is easy enough. If Michael Dukakis manages to win 1988, who will win 1992? Personally, I think a Jack Kemp/Pete Wilson or George Voinovich ticket will win.
 
For those who don't know Carroll Campbell was Governor of South Carolina and one of the GOP's top talents in that time period.

I just love forgotten political stars. In most "Democrats win in '88" scenario Campbell would be be one of the leading contenders for the '92 Republican nomination.
 
Probably a second term for the Duke. He doesn't have to worry about 'Read My Lips', so the hypocrisy factor that helped nab Bush is out on that issue, at least.

Does anyone have any idea where Dukakis stood on the Gulf War? He kind of fell off the map after '88, so I'm not really sure. If he works with the UN to bring in a coalition, a la Bush, his popularity probably goes up accordingly.

When he taxes people to a rate even higher than Bush did, in the midst of a recession, he, like Bush OTL, watches that popularity bump plummet like a rock.

Wilson crushes him in a Reagan vs. Carter 1980 redux.

They dance the dance again and again, yet never learn the steps.

You can't tax your way out of a recession.
 
Where's the Dan Quayle option ? That guy was a RISING STAR ! How could he not have cornered the nomination for his potatoe ?
