What if Theodore G. Bilbo was president?

Read about US Senator Theodore G. Bilbo who was a extreme racist and KKK member and thought it would be interesting to see what if he was president. The idea is that Al Smith wins in 1928 and Bilbo is vice president. Al Smith is then blamed for the depression and so Bilbo wins in 1932. Seeing that he was anti black might he see a ally in fascism. He supported the new deal and so a similar legislation may happen, he also may try and deport black people to Liberia which he wanted to do in our timeline. He may want to keep America out of the war however after Pearl Harbor the US would attack Japan yet he may try and stop them from attack Germany and Germany might cut themselves off from Japan for their attack on the US. The UK might make a truce with Germany and have some of their empire lost. Then Germany may be able to take Russia. Russia would be less strong. What do you think?
 
How on earth does he become the VP nominee in the first place? I realize Joseph Robinson, a dry from Arkansas, was chosen as Smith's running mate to balance the ticket, but I can't imagine Smith would stand still for a complete bigot--and an anti-Catholic at that given his KKK membership--as a running mate. On top of that, Bilbo's reputation was sketchy, to be charitable. Sorry, but to me this borders on ASB from the initial premise.
 
It made sense for Smith to choose a southern "dry" as his running mate, but there were countless ones (besides Robinson, who was actually chosen) who were more plausible than Bilbo, who was not only an extreme racist even by southern standards but also tainted by corruption. Leaving aside the question of how one magically transforms Smith's 17.42 point loss to Hoover into a win in any event, choosing Bilbo would so outrage respectable opinion in the North that Smith would even lose the two northern states he did (narrowly) carry in OTL --MA and RI. And he would lose New York so badly he would doom Franklin D. Roosevelt's gubernatorial campaign (FDR won only very narrowly in OTL).
 
The only thing interesting about Theodore G. Bilbo was the fact that he was so insanely racist that he ended up endorsing Marcus Garvey's black separatism and attempted to amend a work relief bill in the Senate to include a provision paying for transportation of unemployed blacks back to Africa.

He has no shot of becoming president without a POD that makes his racial views mainstream within the Democratic Party.
