We can also look at some of the generally accepted maxims (a lot of the above may be true but weren't contemporaneously considered "maxims")My favorite is that (since Lincoln) every President elected in a year ending in "zero" would die in office. Until Reagan, whose age seemed to make it particularly likely he would die in office. "As Maine goes, so goes the Nation." In 1936 that became "as Maine goes so goes Vermont." "Roosevelt's sweep of all but two states won't be repeated." Nixon 1976. My second favorite would be "No President who lies about getting blow jobs from staff can remain in office." |
