Do not change the horse.
I wonder what would have happened if the Dewey-MacArthur ticket ran and won in 1944 
Anything is better than Frankie Part IV in my view. 
Who knows, maybe Dewey/MacArthur would have defeated Truman in 1948.
I can’t see MacArthur stepping down from his active command role and I don’t think it would have been legal for him to run while still in uniform.
If Dewey had won in 1944, I don’t think Truman would have been the Democratic nominee in 1948.
Agreed, MacArthur was busy in the Philippines Campaign and there was no chance he would give that up to campaign for the vice presidency. I just thought it was an interesting (although extremely unrealistic) scenario

To bad my grandpa wasn’t still alive. I could ask him if he and his dad were happy with Roosevelt’s program for farmers.
The article I’ve linked might be of good help.
