1940 Presidential Election: Free and Fair New Nationalism(READ OP BEFORE POSTING

[Kingpoleon]

Rudolf Ward: Ward runs a staunchly anti-Soviet campaign. Kerensky, who held together the Mensheviks and Trudoviks, as well as republican leftists and democratic socialists, is considered a big threat to the European peace. Ward campaigns as an isolationist, but he obviously prefers the Germany of Heinrich Himmler, the Strasser brothers, Reinhard Heydrich, and Ernst Röhm to the Soviet Union of Kerensky, Trotsky, Verderevsky, Tereshchenko, and Fyodor Dan. Ward pledges "peace from Europe and a strong government at home," and the Federal Demonstrative Committee for Peace has suggested several nationalistic reforms.

Ivan Potter: Potter blends the progressivism of Roosevelt with the socialism of Thomas. Huey Long, wounded like Roosevelt from an assassination attempt, endorsed Potter and refused to run once Roosevelt also pledged not to run. Potter runs on a similar platform as "Share Our Wealth." He pledges to fight President Gregor Strasser, Chancellor Reinhard Heydrich, and Prime Minister Emilio De Bono. President Maurice Thorez and Prime Minister Édouard Herriot both generally support Potter.

Benjamin Weaver: The only presidential candidate not a second-generation immigrant, Weaver represents a less authoritarian nationalism. Prime Minister John Simon and Prime Minister Emilio De Bono implicitly back Weaver. Weaver is considered less "dangerous" than the nationalism of Potter and Ward. Running with the support of many "Draft MacArthur" and "Draft Roosevelt" citizens, Weaver promises a new age in America and will consider joining the League of Nations.
