It is one of those hypothetical questions. The Dem bigwigs knew FDR was dying and that Wallace had to go. I suspect if FDR had refused, some of them might have outed FDR's health problems. Wallace frightened the hell out of them. It was a different party then. Truman was selected with the expectation that he would be president in a word, and the party bosses chose well. They knew Truman, and appreciated his abilities, in a way the nation did not. There is a case to be made for smoke filled rooms.
