Monday beats Reagan

Similar thoughts, is there any chance that it would become possible to discuss taxes in an adult way had that miracle happened?

Rosty did a pretty good job of proper tax reform OTL.
You're going to have a much smarter Democratic Party that targets its fiscal liberal base. Mondale attacks Reagan over unemployment and the impact the recession had on the people. Different VP selection. Still a pretty tough fit.
 
Rick Monday was a pretty popular baseball player for a time. As the Democractic nominee against Reagan in 1984? Who knows. :):p

On April 25, 1976, during a game at Dodger Stadium two protesters, William Thomas and his 11-year-old son, ran into the outfield and tried to set fire to an American Flag they had brought with them. Monday, then playing with the Cubs, noticed they had placed the flag on the ground and were fumbling with matches and lighter fluid; he then dashed over and grabbed the flag from the ground to thunderous cheers. He handed the flag to Los Angeles pitcher Rau after which the ballpark police officers arrested the two intruders. When he came up to bat in the next half-inning, he got a standing ovation from the crowd and the big message board behind the left-field bleachers in the stadium flashed the message, "RICK MONDAY... YOU MADE A GREAT PLAY..." He later said, "If you're going to burn the flag, don't do it around me. I've been to too many veterans' hospitals and seen too many broken bodies of guys who tried to protect it."

Instead of playing a few more years, he retires and runs for Senate as a Democrat in November 1977, then against Reagan in 1984.
