If you could change just one presidential election from our entire country's history and make the winner the loser and make the loser the winner, which election would it be?

When answering this question please take into consideration how history would have changed.  For instance if you were to say you'd change the 1976 election and have Gerald Ford defeat Jimmy Carter, you'd also have to take into consideration that would have prevented Ronald Reagan from becoming president in 1980 and may have prevented him from ever becoming president.

Interesting choices.   I honestly wouldn't want to change anything.   I wouldn't want to keep Clinton from winning the White House, because as much as I loathe the man, he did so much to help bring the Republicans to power.

Like i said, I wouldn't want to change anything.  But if I absolutley had to pick one election to change it would be 1996.   That way Clinton was around just long enough to give us a Republican Congress.   But Bob Dole would have taken over in time to save us from the horrible intelligence and military cuts by the Clinton administration that we wound up paying for in the worst possible way.   Dole serves just one term like he said he was going to do if he won in 96, the GW comes in 2000.

1988, That way Dukakis would have won and Dole could have beat him in 1992.




But how would this man have handled Desert Storm?
