WI: HW Bush didn't run in 1988

I'd say Robert Dole, unless Pat Buchannan on a whim saw Bush's retirement as a good opportunity.

I’d have to agree. Dole is the man in this case, don’t forget the old saying: “Democrats fall in love with their candidates, Republicans fall in line.” Dole was nominated in 1996 because Dole was next. In 1988, Bush was next.
