I don't think Ive ever seen a thread on Mr. Cox, so lets open a discussion.
What if James Cox had defeated Warren G. Harding in the presidential election, other than having a stupid name, and looking like one of the most boring people in History, what would he have done as President? He was somewhat Conservative, but favored Civil Rights for Blacks, and favored the League of Nations. If we had a President who pushed for it, could the US be in the LON? Arguably, Cox would be President over a very prosperous era in the United States, so I'd say he gets reelected, and his VP Franklin Roosevelt eek in 1928. No mater what FDR does, the GD still happens, so he probably goes down in 1932 to ??????.
So, the Democrats are given the brunt of the Great Depression, how does that effect the Political alignment?
