I've read the book "How Democracies Die", and a part of it talked about Henry Ford's presidential ambitions. Apparently, his background and welfare capitalist views were popular, and many rural Americans liked him as much as presidents such as Washington and Lincoln. But the Democratic party bosses were highly opposed to his campaign.
But if Ford won the nomination and chose William Gibbs McAdoo as his VP, what would be the results?
LaFollette would have done better. Ford was a solid Republican who campaigned for Hoover in 1932.
