Overall kind of a lot of turnover actually…only one Clinton became president, and he was never VP. The other Clinton got beat out by the first black president for the nomination in 08, and then she lost to some guy who had zero political experience.
If anything, we learned that being black doesn’t exclude you from being president, being female doesn’t exclude you from being a major party nominee, and you can still become president even running for office for the first time at age 70. The promise of the statement is more true than ever.
Except that, in my several decades, literally no one ever said that. if someone did say that, they’re ignorant or selling something.
Well I was raised in a world where at least a few public school teachers and grownups said, inter alia, that:
- “[The United States of] America’s the best country on Earth”, and that
- “In [the United States of] America, any citizen can become president”.
That 11x election cycles with at least one of three last names on the ballot is only a record tie.
We had John Adams x4, George Clinton x2, DeWitt Clinton x1, James Monroe x2, John Quincy Adams x2 also a total of 11x.
Roosevelts were on the ballot 8x election cycles but the gap years screwed them. And they were close to uniting with the Nixon 5x streak also with some gaps. And then after one cycle right into the Bush Sr streak. If things shook out just a bit different there was a 19x streak in the cards.
No George Clinton was in parliament.
I think that someone who actually reached the top, being president, should not be allowed anymore. They suceeded, and can brage about, be happy. There is no need for a second turn. You did your best right? This avoids corruption.
Everyone is anyone, but some are anyoner. Or something, idk

Not a shower thought, we all saw the headline last month. And the Biden thing doesn’t make any sense anyway, he’s one person.
Anyone that can be funded endlessly by a corporate and capitalist elite can become president.
If billionaires and corporate leaders decided tomorrow that you should be president, they could dump millions of dollars and a few years worth of hired professional help and they’d make you president.
It’s not the will of an individual person or a personality that makes a president … it’s whichever group of wealthy backers who decide to fund the campaign … after that it is j just a matter of how much money they are willing to spend to make it happen.
I don’t think you’re correct.

- Gerald Ford (1974–1977)
- Jimmy Carter (1977–1981)
- Ronald Reagan (1981–1989)
- George H. W. Bush (1989–1993)
- Bill Clinton (1993–2001)
- George W. Bush (2001–2009)
- Barack Obama (2009–2017)
- Donald Trump (2017–2021)
- Joe Biden (2021–present)
Nominees:
- 2024 Kamala Harris Donald Trump
- 2020 Joe Biden Donald Trump
- 2016 Donald Trump Hillary Clinton
- 2012 Barack Obama Mitt Romney
- 2008 Barack Obama John McCain
- 2004 George W. Bush John Kerry
- 2000 George W. Bush Al Gore
- 1996 Bill Clinton Bob Dole Ross Perot
- 1992 Bill Clinton George H. W. Bush Ross Perot

- 1984 Ronald Reagan Walter Mondale
- 1980 Ronald Reagan Jimmy Carter John B. Anderson
- 1976 Jimmy Carter Gerald Ford
- 1972 Richard Nixon George McGovern
Nixon, Ford, Carter were 70’s, not after the 70’s. Reagan’s VP was a Bush, wasn’t it? Maybe they’re also including the primary ballots to count Clinton in 2008? But I don’t think she ran in 2012…
I think he’s including primaries and VP candidates.
That’s just depressing.
