Gone Fishin'
I'm toying with the idea of an alt-1936 election where William H. Murray is president (due to getting the VP pick and FDR being assassinated) and is getting an independent challenge from Long. Who would the Republican candidate be? My simple understanding is that Alf Landon got the pick because he was the best of the relatively few Republicans to have held on until that point and that he was a somewhat liberal Republican at that. The Republicans probably would've had a very different performance under a president Murray, so I'm wondering who else would've got the nomination.
Would this Republican have any chance of winning or would they be as screwed as Landon even with a Long challenge?
