George H. W. Bush was inaugurated as the 41st President of the United States, and ended on January 20, 1993. Bush, a Republican, took office after a landslide victory over Democrat Michael Dukakis in the 1988 presidential election.
1 Term

Trump is a for sure guaranteed lock.

With opponents like Willie’s Ho, Fauxcahauntas, Creepy Uncle Joe, Run the children over Beto, some homo named Buttgig, a gay black guy (not Obama again), a demented old Socialist from Vermont, and other assorted losers - there is no way to lose this!

TL;DR version: It will take people more than 4 years to wash the stain of Hillary Clinton off the Democratic Party.

I like those odds, but these are unusual times.

In 1992, Texas billionaire H. Ross Perot sabotaged the re-election effort of fellow Lone Star Stater George H. W. Bush. Of course, Bush, himself, had already undermined his own campaign by inking a tax-hike deal with big-spending Democrats that simultaneously surrendered the anti-tax re-election issue and broke his word solemnly declared at the Republican convention: “Read my lips, no new taxes.”

BS. Bush would have lost even if Perot never got in the race.

> Beginning with the presidential contest of 1900, the party holding the White House has stood for its second term a total of 12 times. In 11 of those 12 campaigns, the incumbent party has triumphed. <

That argument only holds if conditions today are pretty much the same as they were back during that span of time. But sadly they are not.

Don’t forget the American hostages held in Iran during the entire campaign year of 1980 (from November 1979 to January 1981 — the day Reagan was inaugurated). It was such a big factor the daily news broadcasts always started with a day count like: “Good evening. This is day # 372 of the Iran hostage crisis.” And Carter was seen as weak in handling it.

Be on the lookout for the new Ross Perot.

There is a single exception to the two-term incumbent party lock: President Jimmy Carter.
.........................................
Without a doubt the worst President in American history until 2008.
