LOL, Nice try. But the spin won't hold.
He said he wouldn't PICK a fight with her. But when she's in his way, and when she starts slinging her crap at him, he WILL fight back. Three months ago he called her a criminal who shouldn't be allowed to run for President at all. So dream on, concerntroll.
Right, but I think he didn't even serve a full term as Governor before the Dhims nominated him for POTUS. His true claims to fame pre-POTUS seem to have been his academic publications and his presidency of Princeton, not his extremely brief political career.
>> I ran across a quote from Calvin Coolidge about Herbert Hoover: "That man has offered me unsolicited advice for the past six years, all of it bad." <<
Right again. The bad blood between Coolidge and Hoover seems to be a fact that has escaped most folks, even those with a strong interest in early 20th century American history.
And by the way, I think the nation would have been at least 200% better off if Coolidge had run for re-election and won in 1928. But he was overly respectful of George Washington's two-term precedent. Too bad.
Spin? Not from me. He said it himself. If you think I’ve got something against him, though, you are mistaken.
There’s a 50 percent chance he’s right; he’s wrong. In a debate, the two might possibly battle to checkmate. Neither winning nor losing. Rather a bit like the cackles first debate this go round. If Dr. Carson debated her on the matter of his profession...brains and how they work...he stands a much better chance of clearing the board.
Coolidge was a conservative. Hoover was a Progressive.
>> If Coolidge had been re-elected, he would have died in office (he died on Jan. 5, 1933)...which would have given the US its first American Indian President <<
Shucks! Too bad that guy didn’t have a chance to serve, because then Elizabeth Warren would never be able to claim the honor of being the first aboriginal POTUS!
I made a mistake in my last post—the VP I was thinking of served under Hoover: Charles Curtis, who was one-quarter Kaw Indian.
