As I sit here pipe and cup in hand thinking of history, what else right?
The last presidential election I can recall where the two sides did not HATE each other was 1960.
Sure one side wanted Nixon other JFK but except for some very few nuts who hated "catolicks" on principle, the two sides did not hate. In fact Kennedy and Nixon were very good friends. Now the far left did hate Nixon since he defeated back in the 50's in Cali. "the pink lady" Look it up for HW.
By 68 all that had changed. My generation had split and boy do we HATE each other.
Forget Lee and Grant...Think Jackson and Butler( look them up for HW)
Nixon won in 68 and the media hated him with a true hate and used Watergate to drive him from office. Carter and Ford were place fillers, but Reagan, the Rinos, lie about it now, but the establishment GOP and the Dems hated Reagan almost more than Nixon. Many returned that hate with Clintion They with Bush..selected not elected.. and many hated Obama. Now? Left hates Trump. In fact it has reached the point where they and the establishment GOP hate him and Trump has yet to take office!!!!!!
Dont kid your self this was to be Clintion vs Bush part ll.
But Americans dont like dynasties so the dems had to run Sanders who the DNC saw as an old joke and the RNC had to let Trump run. Sure GOP party bosses hate him, but they needed his money and if annoyed enough, he had the fame and the money to run third party and split the ticket..But establishment never in their wildest dreams figured that he would get the nomination let alone beat Clintion!!
Hold on tight people. There has not been an election like this or even close to it since 1828!
Interesting times.
