1936 Presidential Election

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

The President coasted to victory in the WP primaries, with recently-selected Vice President Matthew M. Neely easily countering some opposition from Governor Upton Sinclair of California, and the other two candidates won by comfortable margins as well (though not nearly as much as those given to La Guardia by his incumbency factor). The Bull-Moose Party appears to be descending into civil war, as they again swung over to the left with the man who almost primaried President Smith, and the Unionists made the rather odd choice of giving in to the leftist turn of the times and choosing former VP William Borah to bolster the isolationist credentials of their main man, conservative Michigander Arthur Vandenberg. The WP is running on the same general stuff they did last time - universal health care, a social security program for the old, and VP Neely's pet project of a comprehensive civil rights bill (at least, as comprehensive as one can get in such times as these), and the Unionists are opposing every measure they put up (at least, one of them is). Roosevelt, for his part, is sitting down a lot and pretending his platform isn't basically the same as La Guardia's (though at least he has a cool name for it - something about nude eels), and Garner, much like Borah, has been relegated to the sidelines. All three have significant momentum behind them, and it's anyone's game here in Washington.

It's been thirty-five years since Wharton Barker's death. We could use more of that People's Alliance fighting spirit.

You all make me sick. Sick to my stomach.

LaGuardia

Note to Alfred: We already got social security in LaGaurdia's first term and West Virginia doesn't exist.

@ everyone: Since Dallas is apparently no longer able to do so, I'll start making the maps to the best of my ability when I have a chance.  Some state boundaries, colors, etc will be wrong, but I will include corrections in parentheses.

Voting is done now, right? It seems like Vandenberg has prevailed.

So it is, my bad

This will be a rather interesting administration.  1940 should be pretty interesting...
