Has Truman any chance left? « on: July 30, 1948 at 09:41:26 am » Truman will lose in a landslide, it's ginna be 40 state sweep for Dewey like 1940. With Dewey as prez and Warren as VEEP southern Dems will pay the price for obstructing civil rights, which is supported by secular candidates Dewey and Warren. That's why Dems already lost 1946 midterms. Truman is vulerable with handling post war relations which why he is challenged by Henry Wallace, who runs 3rd party, giving him no chance for reelection. Truman is no FDR, which is why he will lose to future Prez Dewey. GOP is gonna have trifecta in Jan. 1949. 😎

HW got corrupted in Iran Contra, as a result, he'll lose bigger than Carter. Dems will win back South because HW is too tied to rich GOP elites in CT and Reagan, who got unpopular in Midwest with Farm crisis, Dems will also sweep Midwest.

As a result, Reagan trailing by 6 means Carter will win in 1912-style landslide in EC. Carter will be prez for 4 more years due to Iran situation. Voters are unified behind their prez and do not chose Reagan, who will start WW3. Also, Carter can name Rockefeller GOPer Anderson SoS.

Together with Daley's crooks and the mafia, the Democrats stole Illinois as well and with it the election. As Nixon gracefully conceded despite proof of massive irregularities, this will elect him in 1964. JFK is inexperienced and will fail as president and Americans in 1964 will glady elect him, acknowleding that "electing" a Massachusetts aristocrat was a huge mistake.

It's ridiculous and we should stop responding to these kinds of threads. What I will say is that the margin in Texas was indeed underwhelming but clearily demonstrates that Lyndon Johnson is the sole reason Kennedy got even elected. I said it back in July that Democrats made a mistake by not nominating Big Lyndon for president. He would have won by a larger margin and would be a better president. Anyway, I'm looking forward to 8 successful years as vice president and Johnson winning the 1968 presidential election. Then Democrats will have realized that he's the man!

How can Ford appeal to Southern voters?

How does he appeal to Southerners now that he’s become president and  to voters of the former Confederacy in 1976? Should he nominate George Wallace or Lester Maddox for VP under 25th Amendment and keep them on ticket in 2 years? He could claim a unity government after Watergate is in the country’s best interest. Or should he pick a Nixonian VP like Rumsfeld? Without a doubt Nixon still has big support in the South. Dems must get realistic about that despite their gloating over his resignation. I’m not saying Nixon was right, but it’s a legitimate issue Dems have been dodging for decades.

How can Ford appeal to Southern voters? Should he pick Wallace or Maddox for VP? « Reply #4 on: August 13, 1974, 02:11:49 pm » Ford should not stand for election in 1976. He was a placeholder VP appointed because no other Republican could have been confirmed by a very hostile Democratic congress last year. Democrats, who failed beating Nixon 3 times (as JFK cheated), did this on purpose to have a weak incumbent in 1976. Nixon made some bad decisions over his time in office, but should absolutely not have stepped down and fight this media-driven witch hunt through. The public was always on his side before the media made a huge deal of the tapes in which used a few salty words. Vietnam is now in peril, Nixon would have honored the Paris Accords and protected the South. I have doubts Ford will be able to so with this congress. It’s truly a disgrace a highly respected and able president must step down for the minor offense of wiretapping, a common practice since the days of FDR. Was Truman forced to resign after Korea? Kennedy after the Bay of Pigs? Johnson for getting into countless lying over the war? The coastal establishment and media elites always hated Nixon for his many successes and because he won 49 states. History will prove him right. If Republicans stick with Ford, I could see myself vote for Maddox or Wallace on a third party ticket. They won’t be VP under Ford, neither should they accept such an offer. They have far more public support than a former Michigan congressman who never won another race and repeatedly failed to become speaker.

After Nixon utterly humiliating us in the South, it’s gone for Democrats. We’ve become the party of liberal Boston elites. Ford meanwhile also appeals to Northerns and 1976 will be another landslide. Hear me out, Ford will win over 400 electoral votes and by double digits in the popular vote. Heck, Republicans can win congress in 1976. I doubt we even win additional seats in the upcoming midterms as Ford has a positive approval. Our majority will decrease if that keeps up. Americans liked Nixon’s policies overall. Now that he is gone because of a scandal nobody will care anymore in 3 weeks, voters will revert back to supporting Republicans and rally around the flag. The Democratic Party is totally finished at the presidential level. We’d be very lucky to ever win the presidency again before 2000, perhaps even 2020. Not even Watergate can change this fact. That’s how screwed we are.

Neither of the Southern racists mentioned will be near the White House in our lifetimes. Forget about it. Nelson Rockefeller’s name has been floated for the position and he would make an excellent vice president. He’d also lock down New York for Ford given he handily won 4 elections in the Empire State. Anyway, I hope Rockefeller replaces Ford on the ticket in 1976, ideally switch positions (do you think this is possible?). He was the best governor in American history. Sorry, Democrats, I’d support him over any Democrat for president. He’s the true inheritor of Lyndon Johnson’s legacy (rest in peace, hero, I’m still so sad you left us last year).

Further such posts will be deleted and the author receive a temp ban. To the question, which I will answer seriously despite obvious trolling from the OP: Ford can appeal to some Southern voters by picking a moderate Southerner from Republican ranks, see John Tower or Howard Baker. The Democrats are well advised to stick with the CRA and VRA and abandon the Dixiecrats in 1976. They’ve been lost since Truman in ’48. We need to consolidate support in Northern states and a Michigander like Ford might be more for a formidable opponent than people think today. He has 2 years to build up a record and reputation. However, partisan winds in 1976 may be enough to elect a Democrat who may have to deal with a fallout from Vietnam and pave the way for a more extreme presidency later on. Keep watching Reagan, folks.

All officers I know won’t do so and organize in police unions against such measures. The cops not currently serving wars are much more concerned about racial riots in the South emboldening negros in NY and NJ. Wilson has dodged the question of flu restrictions so far, but with the war about to end soon he can’t sit back much longer. The GOP then can retake the mantle of patriotism and rebuild in states they lost last time. We're winning the war thanks to perfectly trained officers voluteering to serve on the battlefields of Europe.

He could indeed end up on the ticket though, which would be peak GOP stupidity. Out of question Bush will run, but definitely face stiff competition because of his role in Iran Contra. He’s certainly involved, if not the main proponent of this scandal, pulling the strings behind Dementia Ron. Which is actually worse than Watergate and Republicans pretend everything didn’t happen because they can’t admit their hero Ronald Reagan is just a senile old fool who also happens to be corrupt through and through. The fact so many blue avatars still defend him and attack me personally for calling out their hypocrisy is mindboggling. It reminds of “NYC Boomer Minority”, who got BANNED after praising Nixon even in August ’74. The double standard of many Republicans is so ridiculous now that Reagan got caught lying! That’s why the Republican Party, which should really drop the term GOP because they are not great, has lost my vote for the foreseeable future. I gladly voted for Ford in 1976 because I thought he deserved a term of his own, but as long as they’re embracing the worst elements of society and folks like Trump are even discussed, it’s a hard no. Democrats should nominate Cuomo or Gore in 1988.

Re: Trafalgar: Dewey +6.2 « Reply #3 on: October 28, 1948, 07:36:29 am » Truman is going to lose, no president can win without NY. The state is 100% in Dewey’s column after the desegregation order by Truman. He literally committed political suicide with this action. I’m hearing all over the salons on Long Island that suburban voters revolt against mixed race armed forces. Many veterans from WWII that served in Germany and the Pacific Theater are upset. They didn’t fight and liberate Europe and Japan to now serve in the same battalions with negroes. Even many negro people refusing to serve with white people. I’m not saying male negroes shouldn’t serve in military, they should, might even deserve higher ranks. But that has lost him NY. Where can he win, with the South is going for Thurmond? Democrats must stay away from race mixing issues, disavow Truman for his order if they want to win again.

Re: Trafalgar: Dewey +6.2 « Reply #4 on: October 28, 1948, 07:51:54 am » While the race was always going to slightly tighten towards the end, but if you believe Truman has any shot of winning key battlegrounds with 2 (!) more D-candidates to his left AND right, you’re delusional. Dewey also has experience in running for president from 1944, which he was never going to win. He learned his lessons. Now he’s nationally known and picked a VP that pretty much locks up California. So, where’s Truman’s path? There was never one after mid-1946. The guy’s an accident of history and nobody will remember him in 5 years. Dewey is going to clear 300 Electoral Votes and an absolute majority of the popular vote. The poll might nail the final result.

Re: Trafalgar: Dewey +6.2 « Reply #5 on: October 28, 1948, 07:59:04 am » The trendline is clear. Truman’s campaigning style is paying off. Even Trashfalgar can’t find a double digit lead anymore; Gallup was +5 from over a week ago. The race is probably tied now and Truman’s gonna pull ahead just in time next week. Dewey is a completely uninspiring candidate and the Republican congress is increasingly unpopular after Truman called their bluff after that fantastic DNC speech.

TRUMAN called for special session of congress and Rs didnt do anything anyways. 1946 midterm R win was 1 hit wonder.

Re: Trafalgar: Dewey +6.2 « Reply #9 on: October 28, 1948, 08:56:56 am » As if we needed more confirmation that Truman is finished. He got stonewalled by the Do-Nothing-Congress for 2 years and will be voted out. I expect the Democratic Party to dissolve into a minor party, with Wallace and Thurmond forming new national parties. Republicans will control the presidency for the remainder of this century. RIP New Deal. It was fun while lasted. Dems dragged the economy out of depression and won a world war, yet people elect Republicans back to office. What a pathetic country this is. If Truman gets more than 100 electoral votes, he will leave this forum forever.

Re: Trafalgar: Dewey +6.2 « Reply #10 on: October 28, 1948, 08:57:32 am » It really amazes me how you guys live in denial because Truman has *slightly* gained in a Trafalgar poll 5 days before the election (which is actually just statistical noise), while he’s still down by more than 6, is virtually trailing in every single battleground state and has approvals underwater by double digits. This is going to be blowout and the election mafia will be in total shambles once the votes start coming in. But I bet we’re going through the same again in 1952 when y’all insist President Dewey’s reelection is doomed and he’s just Hoover 2.0. Spoiler: It won’t, and Truman is Hoover 2.0. Of course, you might ignore all of these disastrous numbers because FDR got lucky in 1932/36 with the depression, and only won 2 more terms due to the war (even then, he nearly lost congress in 1942). 1932 was not realignment election by that definition. 1946 was, when the Republican Party regained its pre-1932 majority status. Now that both the war and depression are over, with a historically unpopular, unelected president like Truman, there is literally no reason to vote Democratic anymore. Not even the South will this election, as Thurmond is taking the remaining air out of Truman’s failing campaign. Let alone Wallace costing him more votes on the left. Anyone who doesn’t see the writing on the wall that Truman is completely finished will it learn their lesson the hard way. At this point, I’d be shocked if he even gets triple digit electoral votes. The Republicans are also poised to expand their congressional majorities with Truman dragging many Democrats down. 1946 was a perfect preview for that; yet the election mafia still points at wartime elections for comparison when Roosevelt was on the ballot. You clowns are really beyond saving.

Atlas in the days after JFK’s assassination. I included Biden and Trump as posters as if they were that age in late 1963 (Biden technically registered as Dem in 1969, but I gave him a red avatar anyway).

Great job, especially the feud between Trump and Biden. I had their voices in my head actually saying this. Trump's post reads extremely realistic.
