I'm not sure how plausible this is, as my medical knowledge is limited. But what if Taft's cancer had ended his life two years before he died historically? Without Taft's presence as the likeliest nominee for the Republican nomination, Dwight Eisenhower probably won't seek the nomination. So, removing Taft removes Eisenhower as a potential President. So, if Taft is dead in 1951, who is the likeliest Republican nominee, and what would his Presidency look like?
