Wallace stays FDR's VP, FDR dies, Wallace is now President.

Was MacArthur pro-civil rights back then?

Because MacArthur was a Taft-supporter, and if anything, probably would have been Taft's running mate.

Anyway, Taft would dominate this race. An open communist radical who supported the Soviet Union was not electable. There's a reason even FDR had to remove that lead balloon from his ticket before it sunk him.

I agree with this map. Also Wallace's Dear Guru letters would become a huge and massively embarrassing campaign issue.
