Disaster at D-day: A possible way for Dewey to be elected

[Justin]

With the sucessful invasion of Normandy by the Allies in June 1944  and the Liberation of Paris in July, the war In europe seemed won.  The only thing left to do was to invade Germany itself and defeat the Japanese in the pacific. Roosevelt and the Democrats coasted in november to another landslide victory over the republican candidate and the Texas Regulars.

Now suppose that the Germans via good luck, bad weather, and more decisive action on the part of Hitler, had manged to push the Allies back into the sea, what political fallout would there be in the Churchill and Roosevelt governments. Would a defeat at D-day have given Dewey a chance at victory on Election day?

Who were the Texas Regulars?

Texas Democrats who refused to vote for either Dewey or Roosevelt. They instead voted for Third party electors.
