I believe Long's plan was to have the Union Party run a candidacy that would split the leftist vote with Roosevelt in 1936.  He was then hoping Roosevelt would lose, so he could win as a Democrat in 1940.

I would probably vote for Landon.  Landon was very much pro-New Deal; he just wanted to end the corruption that associated with it.
