What probably would've happened is the Republican party would end up like the DLC/"Third Way" and be the party of Clinton. The Democratic party would be the party of Pat Buchanan. As opposed to the current alignment which is basically the Party of Clinton/Wellstone vs. the Party of Robertson/Norquist.
I'm quite happy that did not happen though, as I would have a tougher time being a Republican in that alignment than as a Democrat in the current in the current alignment. I didn't mind Clinton but I don't want his free trade/DLC policies being all the party has room for. It's better to have a clear enemy and at least a faction of a party you can align yourself with rather than reluctantly siding with a party you disagree with on some issues against a party you agree with on many issues but for different reasons.
