It would probably depend on the disability.
FDR wasn't' the only one. JFK had Addison's Disease among other disorders.

The way the media twist everything FDR could not have been elected. Not because of his handicap but his wealthy lifestyle.

Yes, in fact if Steven Hawkins would run I would give him my vote.
FDR was a great man! But Teddy is my favorite of the two, speak softely and carry a big stick. He was also a huge philanthropist (yellowstone ring a bell)

It would probably be a lot harder. FDR was before TV.
