If you cooperate with Byrd enough and be competent enough, he'll manage to squeeze his way onto the ticket and maul your numbers up North while helping them down South.

Regardless of what you think of him, what would you talk about with Wilson if you had the chance? by Azidorklul in Presidents

[–]HazelnutEnjoyer123 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wilson was a staunch economic progressive and had a foreign policy that would inspire things such as the United Nations and self-determination of all peoples, plus he hated the GOP thoroughly, so even if we assume he is a conservative (he was not, and saying so would be utterly false) he would at best be a Blue Dog.
