See, because then Nixon would have served two terms and made way for Ford, but after one term of Ford the American people would have gotten sick of Republicans and elected Mondale, who wouldn't have been tainted by ever having been Jimmy Carters Vice President.

THEN, Mondale would serve two terms, with a young Joe Biden as HIS VP, but then Biden would have been defeated by Bob Dole, after Biden errantly claimed to have invented the mimeograph machine.

THEN after one term, Bob Dole would have been replaced with Gary Hart, who would have gotten away with his affair, choosing to have it not on the "Monkey Business", but on a boat called "Nothing Kinky Happening Here".

Two President Hart administrations would have OBVIOUSLY followed up by one term of Dan Quayle (wow, was THAT a mistake) and Quayle would have lead, OBVIOUSLY, to Al Gore (who would have learned from Biden's mimeograph mistake) and in Al Gore's second term, after his first Vice President -- the currently unknown Burtand Hollingsway Johnson IV -- was discovered to have had an affair with then governor of Arkansas Bill Clinton, Al Gore made the brilliant move of choosing the universally-empathized with wife of Bill Clinton... Hillary Clinton as his NEW second in command.

Hillary would then have been going into this election cycle with a HUGE head of steam from the fact that she was the one who alerted President Gore to the FAILED 9/11 attacks and would have therefore sailed to the nomination, especially because a man named Barack Obama was fatally killed by Cyborgs from the future dressed as action star Gary Coleman!
