I just saw the trailer for Hugh Jackman's new movie "The Frontrunner." It tells of popular US Senator Gary Hart's rise and fall from grace as a presidential candidate in 1988. It got me thinking, what if Gary Hart's fling with Donna Rice hadn't been discovered by the press? Would he have won the Democratic nomination in 1988 and been elected President? How would world history change with a Democrat in the White House during the end of the Cold War? Would Hart's domestic policies have been a success?
