What if Bill Clinton Had Done the Right Thing and Resigned

My guess is Al Gore wins in 2000, easily beating Newt Gingrich. Next, someone actually pays attention to the security memo, and there is no 911. The Dot Com bubble bursts and Gore has a rough go of it in his first full term. He is an unpopular president at the end of 2004.

On the GOP side, we have a hard fought primary between John McCain and venture capitalist Mitt Romney. Romney wins. He faces off against Gore, and wins by a smidge. Mitt implements Romneycare and offers up tax cuts, both pass in a bipartisan effort after much debate. Romeny becomes a popular president, who easily wins reelection in 2008.

There is no housing crisis, and national debt is manageable since we are not stuck in two unfunded wars. The economy is moving toward more domestic production after NAFTA and Pacific trade agreements have been limited and negotiated down to a more reasonable agreement. Imports from China are offset by value add manufacturing here in the US, much of it done by automation. Manufacturing jobs are high paying, high-skill tech related, showcased by the three giant flatscreen television factories in Southern Ohio and N Kentucky.

But Gore did win 2000.

Isn't funny, lying about a BJ isn't so bad now. :lamo
