Grover Cleveland

question.

To market it and then lie about it and say it was about the candy bar was based on Grover Cleveland's daughter?

Okay.

Well, he would never admit it.

Harding came in and he dropped that down to 25 percent.

When he came into office, there were actually some fairly strong laws that had been put into place by Presidents Roosevelt and Taft before him and even Grover Cleveland.

uh... back in the eighteen eighties that regulated business and harding white hardy had to campaign slogans one was called a return to normalcy which meant uh... lower in the tax rate and the other was more business in government less government in business in other words deregulated privatize and that was the those were the marching orders that was the mantra of three consecutive republican administrations the harding the coolidge in the and the hoover administrations And the stock market went up.

It looked like good times were rolling, although they were literally killing people who were trying to unionize workers and things like that.

Then Wednesday, October 28th, but 1886, the Statue of Liberty was dedicated.

President Grover Cleveland officially dedicated the statue, which was a gift from France.

Then on October 29th, 1929, not a good day.

It was Black Tuesday.

So then let me ask you about the six-year itch, because we've seen throughout history presidents who win a second term face all kinds of fun times during their sixth year in office.

What does the six-year itch specifically mean, and does it apply to presidents like this one in Cleveland, whose terms are broken up into two different time zones?

Okay, the six-year itch essentially just means that it's the midterm in the second term of a two-term president.

And usually the things that the president can rely on in his first midterm, that he still has power, he still can change legislation, he can support candidates up and down that.

In the sixth year, you are a lame duck.

People are already looking to who's going to take your place, and that person is going to be more important to me than you are.

So that's certainly an element at play here, even though, as you mentioned, this president, like Grover Cleveland, had two non-consecutive terms.

But it would still technically be the sixth year of their second term.

Rutherford B. Hayes used the act to assist state militias in breaking up the Great Railroad Strike of 1877.

Grover Cleveland invoked the act to end the National Pullman Strike by railroad workers.

Now we're getting into modern times.

I want you to pay attention to the next five presidents.

Well, only twice in our history has someone lost the presidency, failed to be reelected in a contested election, and come back to reclaim the White House.

And that was, of course, Grover Cleveland, a New Yorker like Donald Trump, last of the conservative Democrats, and an honest and extraordinarily conservative man.

By the way, he was the former sheriff of Erie County, Buffalo, before he was the governor of New York, before he rose to that august position.

Bad news here for Corey Lewandowski.
