The 1936 election, in terms of the electoral votes, is the single greatest landslide victory that isn't unanimous like Washington or Monroe. Franklin Roosevelt's opponent Alf Landon got 8 electoral votes, not even 2% compared to FDR. But could the Republicans have won against FDR? That's what I'm wondering. The earliest POD is March 4 1935, at least 2 years exactly since he took office. Your challenge is to find a Republican candidate who could defeat Franklin Roosevelt in the 1936 election.
