john had the audacity to present sherman with this argument that he has created, about houses that are standing. geological record. john one., sherman was elected man of the year because the whole country took notice that this rather tenuous argument -- [laughter] it had taken hold in this southern imagination. i just have to give him credit, dubious though it is. john: james reston junior about 25 years ago did a book about sherman's march in vietnam. he followed the route of the march. and he would talk about going into town, and the local guides would tell him how sherman burned everything down. and then he would say, but i want to show you some of our antebellum homes. [applause] [laughter] but he obviously took livestock. mean, this is not four people riding abreast. john: 60 miles. they each traveled on separate roads. and the calvary would weave back and forth under johnson kilpatrick. so they did cut a wide swath through georgia. harold: did they cut up railroad lines? at this very famous civil war print shows. melting the railroad lines, twisting them around trees. that is all

blaine and hanna is for senator john sherman of ohio. mckinley doesn't want to oppose his chief. but over his objection he gets sent to the national convention were he supports blame, the ultimate winner. >> host: so the first two encounters there on the opposite side. how did they become friends, allies? >> guest: in 1880 they both go back to the national convention. by this time they have a semi-rivalry going. a third of our character is introducing. the governor of the state in 1888. they go to the national convention and hanna and mckinley are now in support of senator sherman where foraker is trying to make himself be either the presidential nominee or the vice presidential nominee. out of this convention nakedly comports himself in a way that causes -- mckinley comports himself. at this convention the convention is still made and mckinley has been the leader in the congress on protection. is played a role in the convention of 1884 as a young man. he's demonstrated that maturity and ability to control the crowds. in the 1880s convention third is conversation about him runnin

over his objections is elected as a delegate she doesn't want to go because he and his foreword john sherman of ohio but over his objection is said to the convention lohan a supports sherman. >> so how did they become friends or allies? >> by this time babel semi a rivalry going and why do runs for governor is elected excuse me runs and 83 elected 85 and as governor in 1888 there now in support of senator sherman and tried to make himself the vice presidential nominee at this convention he puts himself in a way that causes him to recognize that the convention is that a stalemate. he plays the role in the convention of 84 to demonstrate of maturity and then there is a conversation with him running for president. when word gets out there sitting in a hotel room and says if this continues this is what i will say then the delegate votes for mckinley and they say they are ready to go and mckim the rises of the floor and recites the telegram he does not want anyone to consider him for president he is committed by a the republicans of ohio with the support of chevron for president bush chose his pe

he nominated his home state senator john sherman for the nomination. 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 remind you it took until may 14 isth for the republicans to get down to one candidate. ron paul pulled out on that day and it

senator john sherman was a politician, aspirate for the presidency. i think there was an element of tension then between sherman and grant because of that, that sherman may have thought that grant made some mistakes in become being president and particularly in the western policy, indian policy. i think sherman was much more sympathetic to sheridan's ideas of just trouncing these people. exterminating the indians, if necessary. grant, much more sympathetic to the indians, trying to protect them. grant, very early on, said the problem in the west is -- the encroachment by the white settlers. what we need to do is somehow work out the relationship between the newcomers to the region and the long-time occupants there. but sherman was more sympathetic toward sheridan's approach of warfare to deal with the problem in the west. and so i think there was some questions about how much independence grant let sherman have, as general and the chief. i think he had a little bit of difficulty working out that relationship as to what sherman would be able to do on hi

sherman-esc. if asked, i think he is going to look for somebody with gubernatorial experience, someone like john kasich if he is willing to do it. someone like scott walker, if he is willing to do it. somebody like governor nikki hal haley. a governor would be a great match. not another business person as we said but someone who's been a genuine successful reformer and not got any of his immigration issues. arnold could succeed him on celebrity apprentice but that is someone who is genuinely disqualified from running for president. >> nikki hailey is an interesting choice. that would be varintery interes. and maybe if trump is the nomin nominee, maybe she'll come over. >> herbert banged away at regan and ronald regan turned to the guy he'd been in the knife fight in a phone booth with. so, what happened doesn't matter. >> a lot of people having fun where you are. >> the houston people, navy beat houston. >> oh, that's it. >> good luck. see you soon. when we come back, are angry voters the key? plus, milania trump has said next to nothing. why she says she's been known to disagree with her husband. >> d
