What would be the implications of Zangara successfully killing President Elect Roosevelt in 1933?
There will probably be huge disagreements on the economic consequences. It may be simpler to notice some probable changes to US policy towards Asia. The Delano family had strong connections with China (see http://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/1999/fall/roosevelt-family-history-1.html, http://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/1999/fall/roosevelt-family-history-2.html and http://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/1999/fall/roosevelt-family-history-3.html). Thus I don't see Garner as likely to oppose Japan so strongly over China. Garner and Cordell Hull both favoured low tariffs, which could lead to a US-Japan clash over Japanese moves towards autarky, but perhaps a deal in which the USA lowers tariffs on Japanese goods is also possible.What would be the implications of Zangara successfully killing President Elect Roosevelt in 1933?
POTUS Huey Long in 1936, running as an independent of some stripe perhaps?
I don't know why he would abandon the Democrats rather than just completely hijack them but sure, Long is a possibility, so is Wallace if we're looking for lefties.
I could Long saying that his Share The Wealth the program is the New Deal 2.0 (beauty of it is that FDR did not define what it was) and force Garner out of the Democrat nomination in 1936.
