re: #158 palomino

True, running for prez as the first political campaign of your life? Hasn’t been done successfully since Eisenhower, and he was a unique case.

Winning a world war can make up for lack of electoral political experience, but it’s not something many folks can put on their resumes.

Ike was not unique. U.S. Grant was there before him. Great war hero, meh president.
