The Lion Roars

Liberal Lion, Mario Cuomo, had been widely seen as the front runner in the 1992 Democratic Primaries. Many expected him to run, and some even pleaded with him to run. Bill Clinton, who eventually won the Democratic Nomination, had anticipated Cuomo entering the race at the last minute. Indeed, Cuomo's staff traveled to New Hampshire to aquire the necessary paperwork to become a candidate. The Thursday before the filing deadline, Cuomo had a plane prepared, but he was still unsure of if he wanted to get on board and become a candidate for president. Ultimately, in our timeline, Cuomo declined to run, despite being urged to by many. Ultimately, Bill Clinton and Al Gore would lead the democrats to victory.

But what if, Cuomo had gotten on that plane and entered the race? Would Cuomo be able to score victory against Tsongas, Clinton, and ultimately Bush? What impact would Cuomo's run have on American History.
