Still I would go with 1992 as I feel if Dems nominated a weak candidate, and HW dumped Quayle for say Jack Kemp and ran an aggressive campaign it could have been really close

It's funny, but in June 1992, it looked like Bill Clinton was a weak candidate, and he was running in third place behind Perot and Bush in the polls.  Instead, he showed the Democrats the way to win elections--something that they are rapidly forgetting.
It's not 1992 anymore.

Right--he won 370 EV and swept both Houses and made substantial majorities in state legislatures.  You're correct--it's not 1992 anymore.

Yeah, no. This isn't "dude just literally copy the opposition party's platform to win lol" time. You know who pulled off landslides and realigned the electorate? Muh "extremists", muh "far right", muh "far left".
