In1959, a former Republican presidential candidate, Alf Landon, advocated that the US join the newly formed European Common Market. In 1943, another former GOP candidate, Wendell Wilkie, wrote a visionary book, “One World.” In this he described his travels on behalf of his former opponent, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, during the darkest days of World War II, and laid out the case for a future global government that would make such catastophes impossible. These men must be turning over in their graves.
