Paul Laxalt was a very close friend of Reagan and his floated around as potential Running Mate. However, George Bush was chosen instead. What if Reagan chose Laxalt? Things won't exactly change until the 1988 elections. I assume that Laxalt will run with either George Bush or Jack Kemp as Running Mate.

How would a Laxalt Presidency look like? He was a Reaganite, so I can see his Administration looking alot like Reagan's. Will he be defated in 1992?
 
One thing to keep in mind is that minor butterflies add up, especially in primaries where little things cause big changes.

So Laxalt may go up against Dukakis and lose, or go up against somebody else and win or lose, and heck—maybe that last week in 1980 where the undecideds moved to Reagan is changed by some stupid comment Laxalt makes, and Jimmy Carter wins his second term.
