Teddy Roosevelt is one of my favorite American Presidents! He set apart so much land for national parks and forests, he originated the term “teddy bear”, and now we learn that he was a romantic man with the women he loved? He was a great man!
Well, I see three major reasons why Cleveland might not want to be "a revolutionary". 1) He is the first Democrat to win the Presidency after the Civil War. He won the Presidency, more on the basis of The Republicans picked "Blaine". In this aspect, Cleveland resembled Trump, because Trump ran against THE establishment candidate of the Democrats: Hilary Clinton. After Cleveland stepped down , the next 3 Presidents were all Republicans 2) He would need to keep the Democratic party united, in order to win renomination. DEMOCRATIC Party Convention Rules required a Presidential Candidate to have a 2/3rds supermajority of the delegates. (Incumbent Presidents, like Franklin Pierce in 1856, can be denied renomination by a minority of 1/3rd of the delegates plus one.) He'd need support of the Congressional Democrats, especially Southern Conservatives in getting the agenda through Congress.) 3) Cleveland might be seen as "not ready" for the job. He was only 47 years old, when taking office AND rose to the Presidency in less than 3 years after taking office as a Mayor of New York. (Don't get me wrong, being Governor of New York is a good job to have before becoming President. But less than 3 years?? The rise might be too fast... )
CBS might one day explain to my satisfaction how a marginal Illinois politician and small-time attorney practicing largely in advocacy of westward railroad expansion can advance to the Executive Mansion in 1860 with 16 percent of the popular vote.
Please recall that Secretary Of War Jefferson Davis was pressing hard for a trans-continental railroad route through Santa Fe. Davis had all the metrics in favor of his proposal; Geography / Topography, Climate, Native Politics, Resources (water, fuel, etc. didn't impede the later exploitation of this route), Labor (well yeah - THAT), Trans-Atlantic Finance / Market-Share,,,
This is what the news should be no politics just historical account.
This is Awesome❤

11:40 What this 'historian' doesn't understand is that presidents like Cleveland would be regarded as 'revolutionaries' in today's political context.
OMG! Teddy was a SIMP!
