    It sounds like the timeline was:

    • He was in a good position in about 2008.

    • He hoped to convert name recognition from 9/11 into success in his 2008 presidential run. He didn’t make it and overspent his budget, ran up debt.

    • He chose not to run for New York state governor in 2010, when he apparently had a decent shot.

    • In the 2016 election, he was tied up with Trump and from then on kinda boned himself.

    It sounds like a good alternate timeline for him would have been running for governor, maybe not running for president, and definitely staying away from Trump.
