1936 Presidential election What I wrote and on a couple of occasions has been removed and me putting it back together Although he did not seek it Ted was mentioned as a potential candidate for the 1936 Republican presidential nomination If Ted had gotten the 1936 Republican presidential nomination he would have face off against his Democratic incumbent cousin Franklin at the general election The removal is due to it not being sourced but I would point out that it is consistent to what it is said at the 1936 Republican National Convention article Other potential candidates included Theodore Roosevelt Jr There was no citation on him being a potential candidate in that article and therefore that statement should be in his article on the basis of consistency
