Who would have been the 1984 Republican nominee if Carter won reelection?

[Suburbia]

Imagine no Reaganism. No Ronald Reagan.

President Jimmy Carter wins reelection in 1980.

Who do Republicans go with in '84?

[Bootes Void]

HW Bush maybe? But in all seriousness if Carter somehow managers go get re-elected in 1980 then the republicans would easily take over both the house and senate in 1982

Implying the Republican nominee was somebody else in 1980? If Carter defeats a non-Reagan moderate then maybe the nominee is a conservative like Jack Kemp. If he does defeat Reagan under OTL 1980 conditions then it probably discredits Reaganism for a long time. My guess is that the nominee in 84 is a moderate but not Bush since Bush would be discredited from being on a ticket with Reagan.

Bob Dole?

Senate Majority Leader (the GOP would most certainly retake the Senate in a second Carter term, and maybe the House with it) Howard Baker. Bush would be too tainted by a Reagan loss, Kemp would go nowhere due to Reaganism being discredited, and Bob Dole is, well, Bob Dole. Baker likely goes on to narrowly beat Mondale in 1984.
