The premise is generally interesting, but a few things should be addressed, IMO:
  • How did Rogers avoid the plane crash that claimed his life, along with that of Wiley Post, in Alaska in 1935?
  • Why did Harry Truman opt not to run for a term in his own right?
  • Why is Henry Wallace not mentioned, along with his (IOTL) presidential bid in 1948?
  • Are you sure about John Sparkman as Rogers' VP candidate? Sparkman was a fairly conventional (albeit not rabid) southern Democrat with attitudes one might expect. There's nothing on that ticket for Rust Belt Democrats, and the machine bosses won't like it one bit. His running mate ought to be a more polished candidate from the north or east (see, for example, Dean Acheson or Averell Harriman).
  • The mention of Rogers' 1928 mock campaign is almost a throwaway item and should be elucidated further.
  • Rogers' home state was Oklahoma; he was also a full citizen of the Cherokee Nation since he was born within those tribal lands in 1879, 28 years before the Oklahoma and Indian Territories entered the Union as the state of Oklahoma (1907).
  • And please, please, please familiarize yourself with basic rules of grammar, capitalization, punctuation (particularly the use of apostrophes), and correct spelling, particularly of proper names. What you have written is marginally unreadable given the occurrence of one such error after another.
