Yes, I mean John Nance Garner.

Lillian Cross is the woman who stayed the hand of destiny on 2-15-33.

Poor Anton Cermak.

Garner would’ve been much preferable to FDR, though there’s no telling how much pressure there might’ve been on him by the Democrat left to use the hand of big gubmint to resolve the Depression. Either way, it would’ve opened him up to a challenge from the left from Huey Long in ‘36 and the GOP probably would’ve put up the mediocre Alf Landon, who would’ve been another Hoover (or Hoover himself, whom was considered for a rematch with FDR).

Andrew Mellon should’ve been elected President in 1928.
