1992: GHW Bush vs. Jerry Brown

[President Johnson]

In 1992 Jerry Brown wins the democratic nomination instead of Bill Clinton. He chooses Clinton as Running Mate. How does the election turn out against President Bush sen.? Perrot is still in.

[Maxwell]

Jerry Brown would not choose Clinton for his running mate.

I believe Brown was very close to punching him on the face in the Illinois debate, or at least it looked that way...

[Brewer]

Jerry Brown would not choose Clinton for his running mate.

did they not get along?

Well that's an understatement if I've ever seen one...

[Peter the Lefty]

Jerry Brown would not choose Clinton for his running mate.

did they not get along?

Hell no.  At the Illinois debate in 92, it got pretty bad.  Brown's accusations were true, but that never made it into the history books.  He didn't even endorse Clinton at the DNC in 1992.  And he openly backed Nader in 96.

Thanks for that video. I LOVE the bit at the end "of course not." And the press watching the debate.

Let's say Brown picks Tsongas.  They do a little better in the West and the Northeast than Clinton irl, picking up many of those who went to Perot, but quite a bit worse in the South.

Brown/Tsongas    44% 310 
Bush/Quayle        40% 228 
Perot/Stockdale   15%

[Sec. of State Superique]
