If that happened, the Democrats would have died and a new third party would have split from the Republicans.

Probably there would be retained a consensus on financial issues but there would be growing disagrement on civil rights...and how to do deal with the Soviet Union which becomes America's #1 foreign policy concern in the 30s and 40s without the conditions that lead to Nazi Germany.

Somehow I severely doubt there would be an end to history with the absense of the Great Depression and with that, I'll go with the above explanation.

I think in 32 you get a race between someone (Garner?  Smith?) and Hoover, who is kept under 40% of the vote, with a Socialist candidate picking up 3-5% nationally.  By the 40s and 50s the Socialists, Farmer-Labors, Progressives, and Communists have likely merged, and their candidate racks up between 10 and 20% of the vote nationally.
