[Eric in the Ozarks]

If Wallace had been veep when FDR died (and then became president)the US wouldn't have successfully contained Communism. The policy started with Truman. Wallace was a socialist nitwit and would've been a pushover for the Rooskies.

If Wallace in '45, then Taft in '48. After getting a taste of a real-life commie, Dewey wouldn't have had a chance and Taft would have won in a walk.
