FDR doesn't die and continues to run

I've often thought about this, especially from a '40s perspective, when they saw FDR as this Energizer Bunny who would keep going on and on and on. I agree that six terms is about all he could have gotten. His vision for the American-led new world order would be very quickly challenged by the Soviets as in our world. McCarthy and the new generation of Cold Warriors wanted leadership and would have gone after him for it, not to mention he couldn't keep pushing off the Civil Rights question forever. I think 1956 Roosevelt would be seen similarly to 1974 Nixon: corrupt, paranoid, autocratic. What direction the Democrats take from there depends on the position he takes on Civil Rights.

Not sure FDR would have been that corrupt. Interesting question is which prez would have been elected to the most terms if he ran over and over again until he loses. I think Clinton would have pulled it off again in 2004, but zero chance in 2008, especially with the recession. Eisenhower and Reagan may have won 1964 and 1992 respectively. But it would have been close.

I'm glad somebody agrees Wilson would beat Taft one in one

I was unsure about some states, but overall, I believe Wilson would have defeated Taft, who was not that much of a popular prez at the time. I even read somewhere if TR had not run, he may have retired after 1 term.

Arizona would be the tipping point state in that 2024 scenario?

Most likely yes, but I chose NC that it adds up to 271 EVs, the same number W received in 2000.
