The Conservatives would have won nearly every election by significant margins. What would be really interesting is how a 90's style Reform/PC/Liberal/Bloc Texas would play out.

I'll take a stab at it. Here's 1926 until right before Trudeau. I assumed the Bloc Quebecois and it's predecessors don't exist.

1926:
Conservative: 48%
Liberal: 44%
Progressive: 2%
Other (Labour, UFA etc): 2%

1930:
Conservative: 50%
Liberal: 47%
Other: 3

1935:
Liberal: 42%
Conservative:33%
Social Credit: 5% (Kind of hard to make an American equivalent, but basically Dixiecrats)
CCF: 5% (Won't really amount to much in the USA)
Reconstruction:5%

1940:
Liberal: 49%
National Government: 35%
CCF: 7%
Social Credit: 6%
Independants: 3%

1945:
Liberal: 36%
PC: 32%
CCF: 12%
Social Credit: 12%
Independants: 7%
Labour Progressive: 1%

1949:
Liberal: 45%
PC: 33%
Social Credit: 11%
CCF: 10%
Independants: 1%

1953:
Liberal: 43%
PC: 35%
Social Credit: 15%
CCF: 7%
Labour Progressive: 1%

1957:
PC: 41%
Liberal: 37%
Social Credit: 16%
CCF: 6%

1958:
PC: 56%
Liberal: 30%
Social Credit: 9%
CCF: 5%

1962:
PC: 38%
Liberal: 34%
Social Credit: 18%
NDP: 10%

1963:
Liberal: 38%
PC: 34%
Social Credit: 18%
NDP: 10%

1965:
Liberal: 37%
PC: 34%
Social Credit: 14%
CCF: 11%

Party Profiles:

PC: The Progressive Conservatives are the party of middle class WASPs, with a strong base in New England. Containing a populist contingent, they also do well across the plains states. The PC's also win most of the white vote on the West Coast

Liberal:l The Liberals have a strong base around ethnic whites, hispanics and blacks. Liberals win handsome majorities across the Midwest blue collar areas, and doing well in the south. The Liberals also fair competitively in former Progressive ridings in the plains states.

Social Credit: Competitive almost exclusively in the South, Social Credit is the party of working class whites. Social Credit members are staunch social conservatives, with a populist tinge. They have a smattering of support across the plains states and parts of the Midwest.

NDP: The New Democratic Party is not nearly as popular as it's Canadian counterpart, confined to fighting the Liberals in some former Progressive areas, and winning the urban working classes in Labour towns such as Detroit. The NDP also do well amongst college students and hippies, posting solid results in college towns.
