Simple question, who runs from each party in 96 if Bush Sr. manages to beat Clinton in 92?
Also Bill Clinton wanted to be President it was almost part of his DNA. He might try to run again. Not impossible. Depends on how close the 92 election is. So I see Gore
GOP establishment won't let Quayle anywhere the nomination.
Mario Cuomo probably held out for this IOTL.
I think Bob Kerrey of Nebraska would give it another try. Also Bill Clinton wanted to be President it was almost part of his DNA. He might try to run again. Not impossible. Depends on how close the 92 election is. So I see Gore , Kerrey, Clinton, maybe John Keery of Massachusetts. Don't count out any of them. For the GOP. Dan Quayle the two time VEEP is lot tougher to beat than you think. He would own a lot of chits. It would be Dole vs Quayle race. The right wing would like Quayle. You say no one that dumb could get it. Have you ever heard of George W. Bush? Finals toss up, I say Clinton beats Quayle.

Being able to rattle off a few stock phrases in Spanish is not speaking it "fluently". Jeb can speak it relatively fluently, but I've never heard anyone claim before that Dubya can.
He has given entire speeches in Spanish;
George W. Bush speaks some amount of Spanish, and has delivered speeches in the language.[49] His speeches in Spanish are imperfect, with English dispersed throughout.[50] Some opponents, like Molly Ivins, have pointedly questioned the extent to which Bush could speak the language, noting that he kept to similar phrasing in numerous appearances and displayed a "Spanish II" level of mastery in a Spanish-language press conference.[51]
