WI Robert Taft had won the Republican nomination in 1952 and gone on to defeat whoever the Democrats put up?
Nothing good.
But I don't think Taft would win. Not even the 24 years of Democratic rule would help. Maybe if Truman ran against him--he was deeply unpopular at the time.

Absolutely none of this could have possibly been accomplished, especially in the 192 Taft would be in office, and that isn't even counting the time he'd be out of commission while undergoing treatment for/dying of cancer.We'd be out of NATO. This would likely mean no Warsaw Pact. (The Pact was founded in 1955, lest we forget- six years AFTER NATO, and one year after we let the Germans in.) This could actually mean a more peaceful Europe and world...
On the other hand, the New Deal state would be dismantled. This would change America drastically.
