When I think of who would have replaced them, I’m glad most of them survived. Their Vice presidents were usually more reactionary than the president. Wallace (FDR) might have been okay but I’m not sure. He said a lot of things I like but he started as a Republican so I always wonder if he was a mole.
Just that all our enemies are not created equal and some can be tolerated. Like which is preferable? The officials of the Weimar Republic or Hitler and the Nazis. Am I wrong? Maybe I am.
