What needs to happen to see another 1988 (consecutive third term)?

[Suburbia]

America has not seen a third consecutive presidential term for a political party since 1988. A lot of people feel that Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996 had no mandate because of Ross Perot, when in fact Clinton had a electoral message. A GOP 1992 fourth term would have been historic.

**2000 and 2016** were seen as favorable Democratic environments, but the Republicans won the electoral college.

Bush 1988 was the first consecutive victory since the 1948 Dewey vs. Truman election post-WWII/post FDR.

This will likely happen the next time a Democrat wins the Presidency, due to demographics. I think Republicans will be in the wilderness for at least a few cycles before they change significantly enough to win a Presidential election again.

I can see it happening,but I think the GOP will rebound in the 2030s.

I can see a D 2020/2024/2028 or a D 2024/2028/2032

Then DeSantis or some other Republican wins.

Also if Hispanic immigrants "assimilate" to American culture and live a "white cultural type", Democrats may be upset.
