Bush wins the nomination in 1980 instead of Reagan and handily wins both 1980 and 1984. Ready to retire in 1988, there's an open seat election again. How does it turn out?

I suspect HW's VP would be the strong favorite for the nomination. I'm not sure whether Dukakis still becomes the Dem candidate.
What if Reagan is just dead (from murder) in 1988 and H.W. had been President all these years instead?

I don't see Bush having the personal appeal/likability after a 1981-88 Presidency that Reagan had in real life, thus I think the stronger Democratic contenders enter the race and narrowly beat Bush's VP.
Who'd be pick, Dole?
