President Forbes

Well, since economics was seen as his strength, I suppose the best way would be to make economics the main issue in a Presidential campaign. So let's say that the economy crashes under Clinton. The crash is really really bad. Like 1929. This crash occurs in 1995, and there was no Gingrich revolution in 1994, so the Democrats are blamed completely. In 1996, the people are looking for anybody with a new economic plan, so they turn to business expert Steve Forbes.
 
His main problem was the elimination of the Mortgage Deduction, second was explaining how his program would help the lower Class.

So He makes two small changes to his Flat Tax proposal.

1 - He puts a clause in the proposal, allowing a housing Deduction of up to 1000$$ / month.
2 - He sets the personal deduction = to the minimum annual Wage, wiping everyone making minimum wage or less off the Tax Rolls.
