It's possible; if Perot had performed close to his '92 numbers, than it's about 50/50.

Falling off the stage didn't help either.

If turnout hadn't been as abysmal, Dole wouldn't have done as semi-decently as he did.

Dole could have won in 1996, but it'd have required an entirely different set of decisions going as far back as January 1995 when the campaign hadn't even been started yet.

If turnout had been even lower than it was, it would have favored Dole.

If the Lewinsky brouhaha happened exactly two years earlier, yes.
