Let's say that in ATL 1976 or any election after, OTL's frontrunners do not run, but Donald Rumsfeld runs and wins the nomination instead. I know he probably wouldn't win in 1976, but what would be the best year for him to run in ATL?
I could definitely see it in 88 if Reagan taps Rummy for the 80 VP slot. Maybe if Bush pushes harder against Reagan's policies and refuses the spot when offered?
