National Whirligig Analysis of 1936 Campaign Moves
The piece surveys Democratic high command prep for the 1936 campaign led by James Roosevelt at Hyde Park, with Farley and Hurja handling polling and strategy. It weighs tariffs, defense funding, and power-rate deals in New York, plus U.S. stance toward Germany, Mussolini, and general staff recruiting. It notes President Roosevelt’s support for MacArthur’s expansion, and touches on bankers, social security discourse, and independent advisory councils amid political tensions.
