At late as 1987, Helmut Kohl told East German leader Erich Honecker that reunification would not happen in the foreseeable future. So, what if it had not? After all, taken in the wider context, the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc had survived much worse than what happened in the late eighties.
How is, for example, the 1992 US presidential election affected by a continuing Eastern Bloc, Berlin Wall and etc.?

A continuing Cold War, particularly a very likely Soviet 1956/1968-led repression in the East Bloc to combat rising unrest, would reignite Cold War tensions that IOTL were on the decline by the late 1980s. This would prove a serious benefit to George H.W. Bush, given his foreign policy credentials. |

It is quite possible for the Cold War to have ended as it did in the current timeline yet West and East Germany chose to stay separate nations. For one the financial burden to West Germany from reunification was staggering.
