Theodore Bilbo was twice governor of Mississippi from 1916-1920, and from 1928-1932, and then was a US Senator from 1935-1947. He was also a white supremacist, a staunch segregationist, and was a member of the KKK.
He was a short guy, wore colorful and bright clothing to draw attention to himself because he was very short, and referred to himself in the third person.
He was also a supporter of the black separatist movement, believing that it would help maintain the status quo as far as segregation was concerned.
On the other hand, he has pushed for populist policies as governor, having made school attendance compulsory, creating a state highway system in Mississippi, eliminating public hangings, etc and later did the same in the Senate, advocating for the poor (as long as they were white).
Your challenge is to have Theodore Bilbo be elected as President of the US.
