Okay,let's say Franklin Roosevelt dies when he contracts polio, or shortly thereafter. Now, I'm sure there will be butterflies in the Democratic party from this by the late twenties.
But my main question is, considering that FDR dying can't butterfly the depression away, who do the democrats nominate against Herbert Hoover?
After Roosevelt, Al Smith and Jack Garner led in the convention count. But in my opinion, neither are going to wind up with the nomination ITTL. Smith had been defeated in a landslide four years earlier. I doubt he would be rewarded with a renomination. Jack Garner was from Texas and as such, he was a southerner, unlikely to be elected during the time period in question.
So if Smith and Garner are out, who's in? Or by killing FDR have I reelected Herbert Hoover?
