Many would argue that a Reagan presidency between 1985 and 1993 would possibly make the 1990s crazily dystopian, given his Alzheimer's. However, I've never seen someone doing a proper timeline on this issue. Let's say for some reasons, he did not run for President in 1980. It could either be a Ford presidency until 1981, or some sudden illness that prevented him from seeking the 1980 nod while Carter was reelected, or whatever you could think of. How would a Reagan presidency from 1985-93 be like. My particular concern is, how would the period 1989-93 go with Reagan instead of Bush? At the same time, if his Alzheimer's could be butterflied away, how would Reagan do after the end of the Cold War (if it still comes to the end)?
