No Cheney in 2000.

Exactly what it says on the tin. What if Cheney died in 2000? Who would George W. Bush pick as his running mate? Would he still be elected? If so, would W. still win in 2004? Will the Iraq war still happen? who would win in 2008, 2012?
 
Bush's second choice after Cheney was John Danforth. That would certainly double down the whole compassionate conservative thing.

Without Cheney, Bush may not be as easily led by neocons, but he's likely still going to have Rumsfeld and others in his administration.

This. Even without Rummy though, I think Bush would still try to go to war with Iraq.
