Presidential Trivia

[True Democrat]

Where did Jimmy Carter spend New Year's Eve of 1978 (1977-8)?  City and host.

Iran.

The shah and his wife were the hosts.

Who was the last democrat that Reagan ever supported in a presidential election? What year did he officially change parties?

Truman in 1948?

I believe he changed parties around 1953-1955.  I know he supported Eisenhower as a Democrat in 1952, but as  a Republican in 1956.

[J. J.]

Iran is not a city.    Try again.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

I believe that Reagan officially left the Democratic Party in 1962 and he last supported Harry S. Truman in his campaign for the Presidency of the United States.

Just a statement on the Reagan question. Many of you are close to the right answer, some are not.

The true information is...

The last democrat that Reagan supported nationally was Harry Truman in the 1948 election. He supported Eisenhower in 1952 and again in 1956. He endorsed and worked for Richard Nixon in 1960, not Kennedy, as Warner for Senate "knew" that he supported Kennedy in 1960. This was not true.

Reagan officially switched parties in 1962.

I never said I knew the answer.  I guessed, like I do on most of these.

Well the point is that you were wrong.

Anyone who knows a good amount of information on Presidential politics and history would know that Reagan supported Nixon in 1960, and not Kennedy. What does that say about your knowledge of Presidential politics and history.

And, why would Reagan support Kennedy after he supported Eisenhower in the past two elections up to that point. It is more logical that he would support Nixon. Use your brain.

I apologize for not knowing every candidate that that senile old grandfather supported in every Presidential election.  I was unaware that he supported Eisenhower, so i figured he would support Kennedy.

Do you even read the posts. I said that he supported Eisenhower.

You said that after I answered.  Shouldn't you be in school right now?

Oh, do not talk to me like you are my father and I am your son.

You should be in school right now. Mine is out for sickness.

I am in school (I'm failing the class, wonder why?)

Just because you are failing the class does not mean that you should be doing political commentary during school. Does your teacher know that you are doing this right now or are you deliberately disobeying your teacher by doing what you are doing on the computer right now?

The latter.

Williamsburg Middle School, home of the Wolves!  Benjamin A. Constine, President.

May I ask what school do you attend Mr. Porter, considering this thread has turned into some stupid argument about who Reagan supported in 1952.

No, only EV's for President; which remember before 1824, ALL EV's were counted for Pres.

I'll give you George Washington, as he retired from office but still got 2 EV's in the 1796 election.
