I wish Dukakis had won. No Clinton and maybe (though not likely) no Bush.
Dukakis would have been one term. He likely would have dithered when Iraq invaded Kuwait. The higher oil prices combined with the 1991 recession would have doomed the Dem party in 92. Not sure who the GOP nominee would have been. Dole or Kemp most likely.
Somewhat similar scenario to 1928-- prior to the Great Depression, in which a Democratic loss was a blessing in disguise for the party.
Agree that Dukakis would have dithered on Saddam. Bush and (James) Baker did a great job on getting diplomacy to work and get world opinion on our side. Too bad there doesn't seem to be any of that in the Republican Party today.
