There was a brokered convention in 1940 and Wendell Wilkie came out of nowhere to win the nomination. He went to work for Roosevelt after losing the election. Looked like a set-up then and it still does now.

The problem with the 1940 campaign was that Wilkie did not appear to grasp the coming wars (US involvement) in Asia and Europe.
