I would support Vandenberg


Herbert Lehman was a New Deal Democrat and was the Governor of New York: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_H._Lehman

Cordell Hull was FDR's Sec of State: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordell_Hull

Arthur Vandenburg was a Center-Right Republican who supported much of the New Deal in his first term but then later began to oppose it in his 2nd term. He like most of the nation opposed war at first but later came to support it:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Vandenberg

Joseph Martin was the House Minority Leader for the Republicans and part of the Conservative Wing o the party : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_W._Martin_Jr.



Lindbergh and Regnery were the leaders of the America First movement.

Lehman is the only candidate who isn't an isolationist or a Nazi sympathizer, so . . .

I dont think Lehman would get directly involved until Pearl Harbor though and if he ran in 1940 he might take a similar position as FDR did in 1940.

Vandenburg was an isolationist who very gradually became supportive of internationalism. Not the guy you want in ‘41.

Wouldn't the America First crowd just support Vandenburg?
