If Gerald Ford won in 1976, perhaps he refuses to pardon Nixon or the economies recovers faster, I take it for granted that a Democrat would win in 1980. Presumably world events would go the same regardless of who holds the white house, so Iranians will revolt and US embassy staff will be held hostage, the 2nd energy crisis would plunge the economy into recession, and the Soviets would invade Afghanistan. IOTL given all that we chose to replace a moderate Democrat, Jimmy Carter, with a conservative Republican, Ronald Reagan. So it seems the opposite would happen ITTL, we'd choose to replace a moderate Republican with a liberal Democrat. So who do you think it would be?
