Charles Lindbergh vs. Franklin D. Roosevelt

[Ben.]

FDR would still have won in a romp....

...bit like if it had been John Glenn vs Ronald Reagan in 1984...

...things where good in the USA in 1940, FDR was very popular the economy was roaring back into life and people felt optimistic... Republicans could only conceivable beaten FDR in 1944 with a  number of events happening to hurt Franklin in the run up...


Lindbergh would have done better than Wilkie but there would have been very very little chance he could have beaten FDR at the height of his power and prestige...

Lindbergh was a closet nazi

FDR flaunted his socialism.

I'd rather have a Democratic Socialist than an undemocratic Nazi puppet (and in the end that’s what it would have boiled down to) any day of the week…

And FDR was no Socialist, check out Conrad Black’s Biography of him (Black’s was until recently the owner of the leading conservative English newspaper “The Telegraph”), Black gives a well written, detailed and balanced analysis of FDR and his life…very interesting, if very long to boot!

…but to repeat Huey Long was a socialist FDR was a populist open to giving the country a radical Keynesian program to get it working again and further more FDR was a patriot.. Lindbergh was a Fascist and a Nazi sympathiser who would have sold this nation down the river and allowed Japan and Germany free reign while he would have not given a care about defending democracy or the USA’s interests or allies…
