Is there historic precedent for a president dropping out after 4 years?

LBJ didn't seek a 2nd elected term (though he finished JFK's term and was reelected for his 1st term) in the 1968 elections.

64, but who's counting. Nixon won in 68.

You're right, of course. In my haste, I was referencing the '68 election when he didn't run.

Never mind - Jon explained it....

Please oh please run Nikki Haley. Please.

Fun fact (for me at least) - she's part of my small ethnic tribe (there are only about ~25M of us around the world).

Her name means "little one" in Punjabi, just coincidentally happens to be a good English name too.

The woman has balls, I must admit.

Jon would hit that, by the way.

(Whatever happened to Tulsi, by the way?)

Yeah I see that now. Been helping daughter get packed and clean for the move. We drive to Winston Salem tomorrow. Driving a 16' box truck. Ugh. Luckily the truck is one way.

So you'd vote for your little sister?

@Mik I’d def consider it - but not because we may have shared relatives in the old country.

Many prominent Punjabi politicians in Canada. Many are atrocious.

It’s moot though. I can’t vote.

because you're not white?

Polk was an energetic and indefatigable war leader

My goal is to use indefatigable during a work meeting this week.

Could set up a Haley vs Harris female battle in 2024, if Harris is picked by Biden.

In other words, "If I had ham I could have ham 'n eggs if I had eggs."

@jon-nyc Cool info about Polk. Didn't know all that, pretty cool. Next you'll tell me he also invented Polka!

It’s confusing with the parentheses but George is saying he didn’t seek the second term in 68, which is correct.

I made the same post

Then I deleted it because of the confusing parenthesis

I too am a history buff and so I will buy and read that book. I will find it extremely interesting and I will learn many interesting facts about history, which I am interested in because I am a history buff.

I’m not legal or illegal enough to vote.

Your problem would only present itself if I were legal.

THE Kneepad Harris?

[LuFins Dad]

Anybody consider the idea that he might take a look at COVID-19 along with what it will mean for the next 18 months along with the treatment he’s received by the press, the swamp, the Democrat party, and the public at large and decide FVCK THIS SH!T...

[jon-nyc]

I just don’t see it.

Nikki Haley got her foreign policy stint and is smart enough to not want to associate herself with Trump again. She will hate working with/for Trump if he wins, she will be forever tarred by the association if Trump loses, and in the process she will be made to say many things that go against her sense of what is right and wrong. There is no upside for Nikki Haley in this.
