I see the Times is preparing the readers for Dewey’s landslide victory over that low-rent hick Truman.
I wonder if the RNC’s excitement over the successful D-Day landings was tempered by the knowledge that their national convention was scheduled for 3 weeks later. I wonder how history would be different if Ike had been forced to release his prepared message accepting full responsibility for the failure of the landings. Would we have gotten a President Dewey in ‘44?
Wrong election. Dewey loses to FDR in 1944 before losing to Truman in 1948.
