To an extent.

Sort of. His ideology is whatever the Democratic Party's is.

I do not see how any one with a positive economic score could ever tolerate voting for FDR.

I see. I would have voted for FDR because he seemed to have better ideas and was fresher then Hoover was. In 1936, I probably would have remembered the last recession happened during a Republican administration, and liked that FDR had began to inspire the nation and help lift it from its woes. In 1940 and 1944, I would have voted for Willkie and Dewey.

When I make those lists I make them as if I was an actual voter at the time, without a window into future events.

I suppose so.

Personally, I think that it's alright for people with positive economic scores to vote for FDR in 1932 (without retrospect) because FDR's platform was actually pretty fiscally conservative. I mean, FDR campaigned for "immediate and drastic reductions of all public expenditures," "abolishing useless commissions and offices, consolidating bureaus and eliminating extravagances reductions in bureaucracy," and for a "sound currency to be maintained at all hazards." He even attacked Hoover as a fiscal liberal, not to mention that John Garner said that The Republicans were "leading the country down the path of socialism." Now contrast that with Hoover, who raised taxes, signed the disastrous Smoot-Hawley Tariff, increased deficit spending, etc., and FDR looks like a great candidate. Even Rexford Tuxwell would say that "practically the whole New Deal was extrapolated from programs that Hoover started." Now 1936, 1940, and 1944 are different stories.

He actually ran to the right of Hoover in 1932, but yeah voting for him in 1936, 1940, or 1944 would be strange. It'd probably be as bad as voting Mondale over Reagan. Right NiK? Tongue
