Ok. Bill clinton invading Iraq/Afghanistan in 1999 came close to happening, has the same effects and actually could have happened.
In that one, there'd be no 10-15 years of boosted GOP hawkishness since Iraq/Afghanistan would be a "democratic war" and not "their" war. Expect the GOP to start evolving on foreign policy more like it's post-2017 self but earlier and much slower, given more overall hawkishness.
Democrats? Even more hawkish than OTL, again think OTL post-2016 trends but earlier. Expect Obama to get enough swing votes to slip by in 2012 by moving the US embassy to jerusalem. More of a foreign policy empathisis on "spreading democracy", "free trade".
9/11 averted, plus it being the dems invading 2-4(Somalia? Yemen?) muslim countries and doing things like moving the US embassy in Israel to jerusalem means muslims would be a GOP-leaning group. Jewish voters? Probably only as dem as OTL with antiwar ones voting third party/a few voting GOP.
