Oh, he will, don't you worry. The new one-party state can begin in 1940.

I find it strange that, apparently, you find the idea of me not possessing any principles amusing. It is of course true, but that is for myself to decide. I'm not sure where this apparent assumption about me got out.

What the heck are you talking about? My "LOL" was about the election's results.

'Kay cool. I was worried there for a second.

I guess this all rests on whether Cath went with his principles or electability.

LOL

That does sound remarkably like Tony thinks Cathdawg has no principles. Looks like Tony chose his words poorly considering the preceding comment.

Honestly, re-reading it, no, it absolutely doesn't sound that way. I admit the meaning of my post wasn't very clear, but your interpretation is still fairly convoluted.

The 1932 United States Presidential Election
Despite growing business in the East, that failed to alleviate the economic problems of the West. With the Dust Bowl drought beginning during his presidency and workers agitating in the industrial states, Thomas was able to cobble together a geographically broad coalition and win in a close election. With Coolidge taking away the votes of conservatives and some industrialists in the North, Smith was denied a second term. Over the next four years, Thomas would work to repay his electorate. While he would succeed in addressing rural concerns, specifically concerning the Dust Bowl, in many ways he would leave his supports unsatisfied and his opponents enthusiastic. Smith, meanwhile, in many ways one of the greatest icons of 1920's America, an iconic Governor, Vice Presidential candidate, and three-time Democratic nominee, would see his career come to a close before he'd hoped. Coolidge himself would see a similar fate.
