In 1992, Clinton is caught having consensual gay sex with George H. W. Bush a week before election day, so Perot wins in a landslide.  Then both the Democrats and Republicans forget that there's a presidential election in 1996, so Perot wins again.  Stockdale then accidentally jumps off a bridge in 1997, so he's replaced by Pat Choate because Perot thought Pat had a funny name and thought that it would be cool to have him as VP for that reason so he could laugh like a little schoolgirl every time Pat was in the newspaper.

In the 2000 Democratic Primary, Howard Dean does his scream but then he follows it up by murdering every other candidate, so he gets nominated.  He then convinces Russ Feingold to be his VP because he'd murder him too if he didn't do it.  The fact that he murdered a bunch of Democrats gives him massive crossover appeal and he wins the presidential election by a wide margin.  At his inauguration, Newt Gingrich is reported to say "screw this" and disbands the Republican Party in despair.  Leftover Republicans join the Reform Party as an alternative.  They nominate Jesse Ventura in 2004 because he's all like "I'm cool" and then he picks McCain as his running mate in order to actually have someone competent to maybe pick up some slack if the fact that he's cool wasn't enough.  He wins against Howard Dean in a landslide because Howard Dean forgot to murder some more Democrats to regain his crossover appeal.

THE END
