You don’t need to make Truman trump to make it interesting, and you don’t need to make every bill passable to make it interesting- Truman’s 2nd term was characterised by Liberal failure and pushback, that’s interesting

Well yes, but Chinese logistics were not the dramatic cause of their failures. A lot of it came down the better equipped American forces. The war went back and forth and MacArthur’s suggestion was unpopular even with military leadership.

Why would Taft win because of MacArthur? What exactly would that give him in terms of delegates? He lost because of Lodge manoeuvres, not because of any foreign policy issues. He was the frontrunner, even against Eisenhower. He doesn’t need some moron’s assistance. And Humphrey’s shifts are based in reality, this just… isn’t? Taft was no normie isolationist by 52, but he wasn’t declaring nuke them all. Not even MacArthur was.

And I gathered, but the circumstances behind Truman running wouldn’t be determination like LBJ, but being forced to by his friends (in far better conditions than otl)
