Custer lost because he was arrogant, wanted all the glory for himself and thought he had it in the bag. He underestimated the enemies strength and arms. Sound like a candidate we know?
The Indians won because they were fighting for their way of life and their land. They came together to defeat a common enemy trying to subjugate them, reeducate them and enslave them. Sounds like a bunch of conservatives to me.

Some Americans have made similar statements about Japan after WWII. The Smithsonian created an uproar 1n 1994 by stating in a display that "For most Americans," the script says, "it was a war of vengeance. For most Japanese, it was a war to defend their unique culture against Western imperialism."
Patton and MacArthur were also hated by some Americans but thank God for them.
