In 1990, Diane Feinstein narrowly lost the California Gubernatorial race to Pete Wilson. Both were supporters of proposition 184 which barred the provision of public services to undocumented migrants and was widely seen as a racist attack on the latino community of the state.

Pete Wilson thought he'd ride the issue of illegal immigration to the White House, but instead he pretty much killed the CAGOP in the eyes of the rapidly growing hispanic and latino community.

What if Feinstein had won the 1990 elected and, due to her support for prop-184, caused Latinos in Calfornia to swing to the GOP?
