Ronald Reagan (R) 1981*
George Bush (R) 1981-88
Bob Dole (R) 1989-92
Al Gore (D) 1993-2000
Jed Bush (R) 2001-03*
Mitt Romney (R) (2003-08)
I see:
Ronald Reagan 1981
George HW Bush 1981 - 1989
Bob Dole 1989 - 1993
Bill Clinton 1993 -2001
George W Bush 2001 - 2009
Barack Obama 2008-
Reagan's death does not butterfly away Gore's son's accident. Gore still does not run for president in 1992. It also does not change the results of the Florida Governor's race in 1994. In 2000, George W Bush is still the senior office holder in his family. Jeb still does not run. It also does not change the economic collapse in 2008, so a Democrat wins. It would not change the selection of the Democratic 2004 Convention Keynote speaker. Obama still wins the nomination in 2008.
It's not going to be the OTL. Just plain and simple. And economically, it will be different. Bush will be more moderate, politically, and economically. This is the man that called supply side economics, which the GOP seems to still be operating on, "Voodoo economics". His administration could temper the religious right, more right wing conservatives, and possibly the neoconservatives, which would have a major effect on the GOP and American politics. Actually, that could help Dole in 1988, since Dole was considered a Conservative Conservative back in his day, at least from what I've heard people say before.
