IF the Democrat won in 1928...

[Huey Long is a Republican]

How bad would the Congressional and Gubernatorial Elections have been for them in 1929, 1930, 1931, and 1932 along with the Presidential Elections? Would the Republicans be able to do as they please with their own agenda and would they gain a super majority in both the House and Senate? Please discuss.

Also, if this is the wrong place to have posted this, just move it.

A Republican would almost certainly win in 1932, probably of the small-government conservative faction, but their inability to address the impact of the Great Depression beyond some grumbling about pulling yourself up by the bootstraps would pretty quickly hand power to progressives of some kind. Or, if he had a plan, Hoover himself ironically could have been the alt-Roosevelt. He was a progressive and he did have experience with disaster relief in Belgium and in the US.

This is where I think things would go.  The GOP probably (if Al Smith's 1st term) or certainly (if John W. Davis's 2nd term) becomes the more progressive party in this scenario.
