I know that he wouldn’t have won in 1940 if people had voted like Protestants did.

Why are you asking me the bizarre questions that you are?

I give up, who would have run as the democrat nominee in 1940 if FDR had not, and how many of the people who voted for Roosevelt in 1944 would have voted for him if they had realized that he would be dead within three months after starting his fourth term, and why do you care?

I like to think of alternate histories.

I see three major contenders for the Democratic nomination in 1940 in the absence of Roosevelt.
1. John Nance Garner - the conservative
2. Henry A. Wallace - the socialist
3. Joseph P. Kennedy - the compromise
