Ronald Reagan was old - 73 years old in 1984.

What if Reagan had opted to not go for a second term due to concern about his health and HW Bush was nominee in 1984? He'd win easily. He likely wins again in 1988.

Bush's final four VP choices in 1988 were Quayle, Kemp, Bob Dole, and Liz Dole.
Paul Laxalt and Howard Baker also would be options.
