Filling in the gaps (1992 and 1998) of bagelman’s DNC/RNC maps:

1992

The DNC is held in New York while the RNC is held in Texas. Both states being safely in their respective parties’ columns, the resulting election is a clear but narrow victory for Clinton.

1988

Moderate whites win the election for Dukakis, teaming up with Black voters to capture even Georgia.

Presidential elections if they were held in the preceding midterm

1890/1892- Cleveland and the Populists win more states due to dissatisfaction with the McKinley Tariff.
Grover Cleveland/Adlai Stevenson I (Democratic) - 301 EV
Benjamin Harrison/Whitelaw Reid (Republican) - 109 EV
James B. Weaver/James G. Field (Populist) - 34 EV

1894/1896 - The GOP is able to win a landslide victory at the nadir of the 1893 panic. WJB is too young to run for the White House, and the Democrats nominate a tired old silver-bug whose political talents don't quite match up to those of the Boy Orator.
William McKinley/Garret Hobart (Republican) - 350 EV
Richard Bland/George Williams (Democratic) - 97 EV

1898/1900 - It's November of 1898, and America has just won a sweeping victory in the Spanish-American War. Sectional, racial/ethnic, and class divides have dissolved, and America's economy is making a comeback. It's morning in America again, and McKinley is able to sweep all but the most staunchly Democratic states.
William McKinley/Garret Hobart (Republican) - 429 EV
William Jennings Bryan/Adlai Stevenson I (Democratic) - 18 EV

Presidential elections if they were held in the preceding midterm, part II:

1994/1996 - Dole wins thanks to Americans' dissatisfaction with a lagging economy, tax increases, and the White House's blunders on healthcare policy.
Bob Dole/Jack Kemp (Republican) - 286 EV
Bill Clinton/Al Gore (Democratic) - 252 EV

1998/2000 - Gore is able to win by a large margin due to prosperous economy, steady state of world affairs, and the backblast from Republicans' inane focus on Clinton's personal and ethical foibles.
Al Gore/Joe Lieberman (Democratic) - 354 EV
George Bush/Dick Cheney (Republican) - 184 EV

2002/2004 - Bush's popularity following his response to the 9/11 attacks is only blunted by the mild 2002 recession.
George W. Bush/Dick Cheney (Republican) - 355 EV
John Kerry/John Edwards (Democratic) - 183 EV

2006/2008 - Political neophyte Obama wins a narrow victory in an election where the main focus is on the War on Terror. The Bush administration's response to Hurricane Katrina and ethics scandals in the GOP also play a role in voters' decisions.
Barack Obama/Joe Biden (Democratic) - 278 EV
John McCain/Sarah Palin (Republican) - 260 EV

2010/2012 - Romney wins a decisive victory due to Americans' dissatisfaction with a moribund economy, continuing involvement in Iraq, and the Obama administration's disastrous attempt to reform healthcare.

Barack Obama/Joe Biden (Democratic) - 207 EV

2014/2016 - Clinton wins narrowly thanks to robust economic growth in the latter half of 2014.
Hillary Clinton/Tim Kaine (Democratic) - 278 EV
Donald Trump/Mike Pence - 260 EV
