Ugh, just mentioning the two gives me a headache.

No great loss.

Anyway, here's my view on how the T2k US presidential election of 1996 would have gone with Clinton as president, going with the trope that Americans don't like to change horses mid-stream at a time of war, or when the US is threatened with war.

November 5th, 1996. The final United States presidential election before the nuclear war:



Bill Clinton 465 EV, 52,0% of the popular vote
Bob Dole 73 EV, 39,9% of the popular vote
Ross Perot 0 EV, 7,1% of the popular vote

In fact, Bill Clinton as POTUS and running in 1996 is perfectly logical if one goes by the Finnish T2k sourcebook, as the POD of that is in December 1993, when Clinton is already president.
