re: #503 engineer cat

yes, democrats have only been able to do it in 1932, 1976, and 1992, after republicans have fucked up the economy again. of course democrats won in 2008 after republicans fucked up the economy one more time, its just that george was lucky enuf to be well out of it

i keep on wondering if it will ever sink in on americans that republicans are really bad at managing the economy

In 1976 and 1992, the incumbent Republican faced a primary challenge, as did Carter in 1980. That is why I used the phrase “an incumbent president who did not face at least a notable challenge”.
