President Stassen in '48?

In 1948, Stassen had a shot at the White House, winning some surprising primaries, and was considered to be able to win if he had run against Truman according to polls. How do you think a Stassen Presidency would look like?
 
He loses re-election & runs for the nomination in every succeeding election, making him look very indignified & pathetic.
 
Why in the world would Stassen lose re-election, Stassen won't gain the same sort of reputation if he actually gains political office.
