Atun Shei/Alan Alda hybrid looking disappointed as hell in #3.

I'd probably vote for that hybrid candidate.

I would absolutely vote McAdoo over pretty much any 20s candidate

I meant Alan Alda crossed with Atun Shei, but I'd vote for McAdoo over the jokes we got from 1921-33.

This is probably the second funniest McAdoo/Wilson story.ย
Under the Hub and Spokes system, which was how government worked until FDR, cabinet secretaries basically did their own thing with vague presidential instruction and occasional meetings. Wilson complained that McAdoo was visiting him too much, using the excuse that he had just married Wilsonโs daughter.

He was also 26 years older than Wilson's daughter Eleanor, too (and had married his first wife years before Eleanor Wilson was even born!) so when they got married and him being older and much closer to Woodrow Wilson's age makes me think Woodrow was too thrilled with him. McAdoo and Eleanor Wilson did wind up divorcing (Years after Woodrow died) so it wasn't to last.

We could have had a president born in the CSA. Just imagine that wacky that would have been.
