In place of George Herbert Walker Bush, who could have been a viable alternate VP for Reagan in 1980, and thus default successor in 1988?
Also, although George H.W. Bush won the nomination in 1988, and had the advantage all along, (Republicans generally "falling in line" while Democrats have to "fall in love") his nomination was contested. How would one of his challengers, like Bob Dole, or an even longer shot like Jack Kemp or Pat Robertson have prevailed?
