His role in the game seems well played. In real-life he explored an alliance with Huey Long based around their mutual hatred of FDR. That alliance failed however when the two discovered that they really had noting in common except that singular hatred. Each wanted to be President, each thought the other should be their VP. They would become bitter enemies & rivals for years to come.
