Nearly an hour of brilliant, informative, significant documentary without once uttering the over-used word "iconic." I think I'll watch it again for that reason.
I was originally from Grand Rapids, MI, but I never voted for Gerald Ford, either as our Congressman or as our President. But I respected him as a first class person. Everyone in Grand Rapids, I think, probably felt that way whether as Republicans or Democrats. Sadlly, that political air is missing today.
I worked at a nonprofit organization in San Francisco in the 1980-90s. Ironically, our press was always better on the LA Times than the SF Chronicles, the opposite of home court advantage. Looks like that applies to politics as well. Eg, NY didn't vote for Trump.
My niece and nephew's grandfather (Born around 1920) was named after Warren G Harding. That's how popular Harding was when he was elected. Timing is everything. (Ironically my brother-in-law (Also a Warren G.) became a politician; but as Liberal Democrat).
Excellent videos. However, one thing that not mentioned enough was the " 2/3rds rule" that The Democratic Party used in choosing their Presidential Nominee. The rule made it extremely hard to find a candidate who could have the support of both Northern Liberals and Southern Conservatives. 1. In 1844, Van Buren had a majority of the delegates on the first ballot, but lost the nomination to James K. Polk. Both of them are considered to be the heirs apparent to General Jackson. Van Buren was the loyal top deputy and Polk was the "professional son", from Jackson's home state. 2. In 1856, President Franklin Pierce was defeated for renomination, because he couldnt reach the 2/3rds threshold. James Buchanan was able to get the nomination. (By this time, Buchanan was on his 4th attempt at winning the nomination.) 3. In 1860, Democrats couldnt find a compromise candidate. So, there were the Northern Democrats, who support Douglas AND there were the Southern Democrats, who supported Breckenridge. 4. In 1912, Champ Clark had a majority of the delegates at one point, but Woodrow Wilson was able to win the 2/3rds majority on the 46th ballot. 5. It took 103 ballots to pick John W. Davis as the Democratic Nominee of 1924. 6. In 1932, FDR was able to reach the 2/3rds majority, but had to agree to have John Nance Garner as his VP. 7. 1936, the 2/3rds rule was vanished. This allowed the Democrats, in subsequent elections, to pick nominees who are considered to be more liberal.
The role of Garfield’s incompetent doctors in his death should have at least been mentioned. Without their “treatment,” Garfield probably would have survived, albeit with some paralysis.
Interesting combination of Presidents… nuanced profiles of each. As for Ford, I wasn’t quite old enough to vote in Ford/Carter election I never forgave him for the blanket pardon of Nixon
@@johnnotrealname8168 very much so. He turned 100 a couple of weeks ago. And to live to see children born during his administration near 50 (I'm about to be 46 in a few months. My late husband would be 46 in a few weeks had he not passed last month)...
In saying Garfield was incorruptible, one must ignore the Credit Mobilier Scandal. While not among the prime movers of it, his testimony about it was less than frank and completely honest.

Pierce's support for the brutal slave system brought him agony and misery.

Hola from Queretaro.
My niece and nephew's grandfather (Born around 1920) was named after Warren G Harding. That's how popular Harding was when he was elected. Timing is everything.
(Ironically my brother-in-law (Also a Warren G.) became a politician; but as Liberal Democrat).
How is it ironic? It was at least 40 years later and he was not even directly related.

Can you straight off the subject

I always loved Gerald Ford but now I question his character due to his involvement with the Warren commission
Interesting combination of Presidents… nuanced profiles of each. As for Ford, I wasn’t quite old enough to vote in Ford/Carter election I never forgave him for the blanket pardon of Nixon
The smartest thing he ever did. Although I might have voted for James Earl Carter Jr. A Conservative Democrat after all.

It sounds like Harding may have un-alived himself. 🤔
Daaang, Garfield was rather gorgeous!
I believe Garfield could have been a good president. What a shame he didn't get the chance.
Only six months.
So true. He was truly a very kind person with desires to protect the marginalized and oppressed.
Robert F. Kennedy, is the greatest what could of been of politics.
He was gorgeous too
Is that the late, great Rev. Billy Graham voicing Garfield?? Or could it be his son, Rev. Franklin Graham??
Harding was a socializer that was very likable❤ should have never been a president of the United States❤ the job was way too big for him
In saying Garfield was incorruptible, one must ignore the Credit Mobilier Scandal. While not among the prime movers of it, his testimony about it was less than frank and completely honest.
Was he poisoned?
