the last president to be re-elected to a second term was andrew jackson. that was in 1832. so 32 years have transpired since the last time a president was re-elected. last time an incumbent was even nominated for a second term had been 1840. almost a quarter century had passed since that happened. so no one is sort of automatically assuming within the republican party in spring, early summer 1864, that lincoln's renomination is inevitable, or even desirable. in fact, there are a lot of individuals in the party that would like to replace lincoln. some of them want to replace him because they simply have presidential aspirations of their own. lincoln's cabinet member, second tar of t secretary of the treasury, and others with aspirations. others of the republican party just simply don't think lincoln is re-electable. for that reason, with the concern for the war effort, a concern for the future of the party, they believe that replacing lincoln is probably the wiser course to follow. ultimately lincoln is going to be re-elected -- excuse me, renominated in the summer of 1864.

this began with the presidency of andrew jackson but did not fully flower until modern communications technologies especially radio and then television changed the nature of the american regime by changing the nature of political campaigns and of governance. the current belief is that because presidents alone are elected by a national constituency, they are unique embodiments of the national will and hence should enjoy the maximum feasible untrammeled latitude to translate that will into policies. the twofold problem is that majorities can be abusive. and some questions are not properly submitted to disposition by majority rule because there are some, actually there are many, closed questions even in an open society. we must ask, how aberrant, how frequent are abusive majorities? a related, but different question is, when legislatures which are majoritarian bodies act, how often are they actually acting on behalf of of majorities? my belief, based on almost a half-century observing washington, is this -- as government becomes bigger and more hyperactive, as the regulatory administrati

national politics from the battles between jefferson and hamilton to the clashes of the era of andrew jackson. slavery stunted and then deformed democracy and its legacy is complicated and sometimes disrupted economic inequality. white racism sustains and de deepens great disparity, economic inequality has become a symptom of racial injustice. thus when anti-slavery forces attacked human bondage as immoral it was the cornerstone of economic privilege as exerciseed by the slave power and the northern accomplice. the war was a war of emancipation but a fight to vindicate american democracy against a domineering and the wealth and power focused in the hands of a tiny elite. after the egalitarian impulses of the civil war dissipated, white supremacy is big business subdued talk. efforts by blacks and supporters to lay full claim were crushed after the overthrow of reconstruction and created a new class of industrial workers that separated harass repression. the so-called movement brought the issue of inequality back front and center as did lynden johnsons fight for economic quality to the one to

i don't think the american people have elected an angry president since andrew jackson.t was 100 years before the invention of television. and television brings the candidates into our living room. and i'm not sure people want angry people in their living rooms. when clinton said kaine is everything that trump isn't. she could have said cheerfully, a happy warrior, a phrase applied to democratic nominee al smith, and another democratic nominee, herbert humphrey. so the question is s how do they deal with this problem of the perception of mrs. clinton. i think they're going to fall upon joe biden's acxion, don't compare me to the almighty, compare me to the alternative. and do you want an angry man in your living room? >> when you say he's angry, trump's pushing back on the idea that this was a grim speech, or that he was angry, they're saying he was strong, and he was telling it like it is. >> donald trump is the one who's described contemporary america as a hell hole, that's a quote. and when you describe america as people who are afraid to leave their houses because of

they feel that they should have us a certainly more of a say that those white southerners that andrew jackson was hardening. -- hardening. so many former confederates had received presidential -- presidential pardons. say,look at that and they how come these guys have a say and we don't russian mark you are going to see a's similar pattern after world war ii. the second wave of women activism after a similar set of circumstances. women expect that they are going to have a say in this new reconstructive government and that is not what happens. the focus is on african american male suffrage. women suffer just look at this and they are willing to let that happen but they expect that they are going to be limited as well. julia ward put it this way. when the u.s. rights of 14th amendment, women should be included. they should have rights under that amendment. and of course when congress is discussing it, some congressmen do broach that subject. they are left out. -- laughed out. to them, it is just a nonstarter. julia ward says that the civil war came to an end not leaving only the slaves emancipa

reports that newt gingrich called donald trump a great populist leader and said he's one part andrew jacksone part theodore roosevelt and one part pt barnum which resonates well with the working class but not the elite. of so for donald trump, who would you say is in the top tier in the hunt to round out his ticket? >> well, certainly gingrich. he's somebody who has been a big fan of trump's all along. almost from the very beginning. mike pence of indiana, who he's met with and had a very good meeting with. and he's a governor, and a former leader in the house in congress. and then there's joannie ernst, who he talked about on twitter today. she is a senator from iowa, a tea party favorite. she's a woman, which is a big plus for trump. because he needs to win more support amongst female voters. and i think that's really your top pick right now. we're talking other names like bob corker of tennessee, and jeff sessions of alabama. both are senators. and both have, you know, at least not been highly critical of trump. i mean, sessions has been a big supporter, and corker, too, has also been fro

from the battles between jefferson and alexander hamilton to the furious clashes of the era of andrew jackson. slavery first stunted and then deformed american democracy, and its racist legacy is complicated, distorted and sometimes disrupted the politics of economic inequality. not only does white racism sustained and deep and great disparities of wealth, it just didn't american history so strongly that economic inequality has become systematic of racial injustice. to talk about one has often meant talking about the other. when anti-slavery forces attacked human bondage as immoral, but also attacked it as the cornerstone of hateful economic and political privilege as exercised by the aristocratic slave power and its northern accomplicaccomplic es. the war to crush the slaveholders rebellion became aware of emancipation that it was also from the start by giving you get american democracy against a domineering and finally secessionists slid hocrisy, its wealth and power concentrated in the hands of a tiny elite. after the egalitarian impulses of the civil war years dissipated, and ideology of

important,is truly we are talking about if we need to take down statues of andrew jackson or whoeverit may be. benjamin franklin kept a ledger of every error he made and how he was to rectify it. and it starts with a running away from his brother as an apprentice. and when his brother dies, he pays for the education of his children. as he gets to the end of his life there is one big air -- er ror he made and he realizes it. as you said, he allowed the advertisement of slavery in the pennsylvania gazette. for some time, he had to household slaves, although they kind of just wandered off. but he did own slaves. and he realizes that was appalling. and worse yet, at the convention, the notion of the compromise that makes great heroes, he had signed on to the compromise for slavery. it is implied. so, how does he rectify that? around age 80, the president of the society of the abolition of slavery. he realizes he had gone it wrong -- gotten it wrong. was -- 15 yeare , hisoman he was writing last hoaxes as a speech, talking about how in algiers he had a published newspaper, saying how impo

. >> andrew jackson and theodore roosevelt would have loved the term and lived it out, i think it is clear that this is a guy who is going to be different. if you want to break up the corrupt bureaucratic incestuous system in washington you better have somebody who has a very strong personality and who is very willing to be in fights. you are not going to have a nice president corporate bureaucratic to come to city and dramatically change it and i think he has proven in beating 19 other candidates he has the fortitude and commitment that he has a chance of really genuinely defeating the old order and fording it, forcing it to change, which it will resist very deeply. >> dickerson: what is his biggest weakness? >> whose? trump's? >> yes. >> probably that he doesn't know the regular traditional republicans as well as he should have, because he wasn't a candidate. i mean, i was with former attorney general ed meese recently and talking about the fact that reagan had from the fall of 1965, when he first announced for governor to 1980 when he won the presidency, that is 15 years, by the t

president from 1836 when martin van buren was elected as the sitting vice president to succeed as andrew jackson, until 1998 when george h.w. bush was elected to succeed ronald reagan, no sitting vice president was ever elected to the presidency and other than john breckenridge in 1856, none was nominated to seek the presidency by a major party until richard nixon was in 1960. so at the beginning of the 20th century there was a common joke that was told about the parents who had two sons, one went off to sea, the other became vice president, neither was ever heard from again. [ laughter ] but at the beginning of the 20th century the vice presidency began to take baby steps forward and towards the executive branch. president warren harding invited his vice president calvin coolidge to meet with the cabinet. the move was controversial at the time but vice president coolidge did meet with harding's cabinet and that became something of a tradition. franklin roosevelt used john nantz garner as a legislative liaison and sent him on foreign trips before they had a falling out during the second term pre

when andrew jackson was chosen to run.ight, the first lady michelle obama, bernie sanders, senator elizabeth warren all the headliners. those speakers will come later on. we begin later on with trump vs. obama, a vision of america and that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. according to the uber liberal "new york times" donald trump's keynote address last week was designed to terrify voters the irresponsible rhetoric of our president who has used the pulpit of the presidency that divide us by race and color has made america a more dangerous environment than, frankly, i have ever seen. the problems we face now, poverty and violence at home, war and destruction abroad, will last only as long as we continue relying on the same politicians who created them in the first place. president obama does not buy mr. trump's observations. he paints optimistic picture. >> it's also important for the american people to remember that our crime rate in this country is much lower than it was in the 80's or the 90's or whe
