Cute article. I was most interested in the Information Systems of the day. Not so much the veiled gloating about the GOP’s failed pander to blacks. I Wonder what was up at the Prog Convention that year.
’36 was the worst beating the Rs ever took, only carrying 2 states.
It only got better after that.
Sadly the republicans put up a very bad speaker in 1936 in KS Governor Alf Landon. The FDR Dems built a coalition of the disaffected. Landon got creamed.
Scroll down to 1936 to see if their message has changed since then. Not much.
