but it did go to the dark horse, james a. garfield. what's significant about that is a large part of the argument for grant is that he would be a strong man in the white house after what people regarded as the weak hayes. some people called him miss nancy jane hayes. we needed someone with vigor once again in the white house. grant established the notion that the president should be a strong voice, that he should be an activist leader, at the center of the national government. we take this for granted today. if you look at the long evolution of the presidency versus the congress, this is a milestone, i think, in that more and more we're going to see presidents being assertive. that's what grant was really up to during his presidency. that the president -- these people who voted for him at the convention in 1880 were saying should not be a mere handmaden to the congress. that, i submit, is another step in the creation of the modern presidency, that this was the appropriate role for a president to make. thank you very much.

the best events, and this is a tragedy in a different way, james garfield comes into office and after four months is shot and wounded. it is a tragic story and garfield was brilliant and he was an intellectual, he knew about eight languages, he could write with both hands at the same time in opposite directions, he was a musician, he's amazing. the best probably intellectually between lincoln and teddy roosevelt. now in a way you could say at least he accomplished at the end of the war. kennedy accomplished quite a bit. but garfield never had much of a chance to do anything and i think that makes it a human tragedy and the book that came out a few years ago about the mistakes and the constant mistakes by doctors and the fact that they were incompetent and came to the station where he was killed in washington, d.c. don't forget this is 1881 and they don't wash their hands or know about churns or bacteria and he suffers and finally dies in september, 1881. it is really tragic and of course what happens is charleston is the assassin who actually visited the white house at the real road s

republican convention over a period of almost a week to arrive at their nominee and their nominee james a. garfieldnot considered a candidate when the ballot began. he nominated his home state senator john sherman for the nomination. now, that kind of brokered convention is unlikely to happen this time around. the kind of brokered convention is like in 1948 where somebody went into the convention with a solid lead. there were multiple candidates with delegates but somebody with a solid lead and after one or two ballots, that person was named the nominee. now, that's likely to happen this time around, i think, because we had so many -- we have so many candidates here in the early stages when we have proportional primaries that were likely to end up with somebody short of the nomination but so clearly in front, that even though some delegates will be bound by party rule or law to vote for somebody else on the first ballot. on the second ballot, that happens. now, we came awfully close to this in 2012 because more and more states are adopting proportional rather than winner take all rules. i would rem

james a. garfield. the 20th president of the united states. comes into office and after four months, he is shot and mortally wounded, we know that for sure. we thought he would recover but it's a tragic story. garfield was brilliant. garfield was brilliant. an intellectual. he could -- knew about eight languages. he could write in latin and greek with both hands, musician, college president. the guy is amazing. but that's probably intellectually between lincoln and teddy roosevelt. we lost him. so in a way, forgetting lincoln for a minute, you could say at least lincoln accomplished the end of the war. kennedy accomplished quite a bit and he rest was down by lbj but garfield never had much of a chance to do anything. and i think that makes it a human tragedy and this book that came out a few years ago about his torturous death, the mistakes, the constant mistakes by doctors, the fact that they were incompetent, they came to the station where he was killed, in washington, dc, riding horses -- this is 1881 -- and they don't wash their hand littl
