Wasn’t that the story with Richard Nixon vs John Kennedy?
That is what I’ve always heard. Nixon and most others felt that he actually won, but Kennedy’s people spread the false rumor that their man had won. There was so much wild celebration of that lie, that Nixon decided it would ‘divide the country too much’ to formally contest this presumption.
I’m probably getting details wrong, but that was the basic outcome and for those Old World, gentlemanly reasons.

Bush 1 knew he was toast against Clinton going into the final stretch. Dole never had any leverage to defeat Clinton. Briefly people thought W was toast against Kerry via the exit polling that was incorrect. The Oct Surprise did hurt W going into the election with Gore. McCain was done in by the economic crisis. Mitt had that 47% video leaked that clubbed him with, was easily painted as a evil rich guy. Looks like the endgame is the Covid stuff to club Trump with? We shall see if that’s the difference maker. The drip of Hunter stuff, no idea if it plays really, but I do think Biden is not an inspiring candidate and the laptop will remind people that Biden is a career politician who has worked for himself.

Can you remember a republican president opposed and obstructed by his own party throughout his presidency?

There have only been 4 times in th r last 120 years where a sitting president seeking a second term did not win. And 3 of them were due purely to recession/depression.

Only 1 president who won his second term did so with fewer votes than his original election that I know of, that was Obama.

Odds have always been in Trumps favor from the start, everyone and everything telling you otherwise are either ignorant of history or flat out liars... just like in 16 odds were that Democrats would lose. It is the large exception that a party holds the White House more than 2 terms..

Do you have negatives about this election...

Do you think they would put a lying old man in who will turn it over to the rabid socialist. And our country goes to hell like Barry wanted ..

Is that going thru your mind?

“Has a Republican president ever been upset?”

I am guessing most of them got pretty P’oed at times.

Kennedy-Nixon

Everyone who listened to the debate thought Nixon won hands down. Vote fraud won the day for Kennedy.
