What if Franklin D. Roosevelt had decided not to break tradition and instead step down after only two terms? Who would be the Democratic frontrunners in 1940? Would Wendell Wilkie still be the Republican nominee? Remember, this is still during the Great Depression and World War II is on the horizon after already having started in both the Pacific (in 1937) and Europe (in 1939). What would be the biggest butterflies on American politics and World War II? I have no doubts that the Democrats would probably still win.
