We are in bizarro world.  Presidential elections still happen every four years, but the cycle is moved up two years starting in 1986.  1984 was a good year for Republicans, with Ronald Reagan nearly sweeping all 50 states.  1986 was not so kind, as the GOP lost control of the Senate and lost ground in the House of Representatives.

With Reagan at the top of the ticket, how would things be different?  How would the Democratic primaries play out?  Would Mondale be damaged goods, and would Hart's adultering break open?  Would someone other than those two win the Democratic primaries?

The fourth in a series.
