As we know, Franklin Delano Roosevelt handily got the Democratic nominee in the 1932 election. He then went on to easily defeat Herbert Hoover. But what if FDR was removed from the picture? Either his illness killed him in 1921, or for whatever reason he doesn't end up pursuing the presidency. The most promising nominees were 1928 candidate Al Smith and Speaker of the House John Nance Garner. The only difference in this timeline is that FDR is out of the picture, so the Democrats are most likely going to take it. So which nominee will it be without his presence? Is Al Smith going to finally beat Herbert Hoover, or should America dance with the Nance? Or will it be someone else, and who?
