So breaking this down:
- First, with no PoDs prior to January that year, how can these respective nominations happen?
- Second, given the nominations, how does the general election play out?
- Third, how do the primaries for the losing party play out in 1980?
- Fourth, (just to cover our bases) can we safely assume this nominee will win 1980? (i.e. Do the next four years fare significantly better for the winner than OTL did for Carter?)
- Fifth, given all the above, how (if at all, to any significant extent) are the 1980's changed from OTL?
