Well, how about I just say the whole "He'd sell NATO and America to the USSR and the Commies!!!111!!" so we can get it out of the way...



There'd be more food aid into Eastern Europe. He was a big proponent of getting hybrid corn into the Soviet sphere so the people didn't have to think about where their next meal was coming from.

What's with the whole thing that you mentioned in the first paragraph? What are you talking about?

I don't know what would have happened, but I believe it was mentioned somewhere already.

It's a general Conservative meme that Henry Wallace was a 'damned Commie' and 'sissy Liberal' who'd sell out the US, let the Soviets take over Western Europe, give Stalin a BJ, etc. It's bunk, but it doesn't go away.
 
The Mitrokhin Archives have confirmed Wllace was a communist sympathiser at the very least

As well as that, he would have fallen for Stalin hook line and sinker.

In OTL, the communists rejected id in the marshall plan.

Hon, if you weren't a communist sympathizer during the Great Depression, there was something wrong with you.
 
Unfortunatley I know little about the man, however, I don't know how successfull he would be since the consensus thus far is that he was politicallyy left of Truman, (?) So he could end up a 1 termer. An interesting thought however :)
