What if Bob Dole had defeated Bill Clinton in the 1996 Presidential Election? I think Al Gore would have still ran for President in 2000 but I think he probably would have lost to Bob Dole in this scenario. I think that since Bob Dole is a Neocon like GW Bush the Gulf War would have started in his second term after 9-11.

Former Vice President Dan Quayle, the 1996 GOP Presidential Nominee, conceded the 1996 election to President Bill Clinton. "Earlier, I spoke with President Clinton and offered him my congratulations on an impressive victory. We must respect the choice of the American people, and we must respect those who worked so hard to re-elect the President.
Governor George W. Bush of Texas, the GOP presidential nominee, began an effort to reach out to supporters of President Bill Clinton in the 1996 election.

Dole wasn't someone you could paint as a radical. He did well with wealthy suburban voters with a bachelor's degree or above, which is a group Republicans would struggle with later. That's why Virginia, California, Georgia, and Maryland trended Republican. The trends of the 1996 election were counter-predictive of future elections.
Re: Why was voter turnout so low in 1996? « Reply #3 on: October 30, 2019, 08:26:41 AM » Clinton certainly did not energize the left - his major first term accomplishments were NAFTA, ending welfare, the crime bill, and DADT (he also raised taxes on the rich, but reneged on campaign promises for middle class tax cuts)
Clinton was alot more unpopular in the mountain states in 1996 than 1992. Perot almost cost Bush Florida, and probably cost him Georgia, but Clinton was ahead of Bush in New Jersey, New Hampshire and North Carolina. There was no electoral path to victory for Bush without Perot. And to say that it would have been a 2004 election is absurd.
