Trivia question:

Which incumbent presidents attempted to obtain renomination from the their party, and failed. One point for each correct answer. -1 point for wrong answers. You're not allowed to consult the internet.

American voters once had high standards for the presidency. If a president sucked, he was not renominated.

Teddie Roosevelt, formed the Bull Moose party between terms and the Republicans lost due to his candidacy. He was subsequently renominated and served a second term after the Democrats had one term.

Point

1

I don't know any for sure. I'll guess James Buchanan and perhaps Truman. I think Hoover did win renomination but lost the election horribly to FDR. Ahh....I think John Adams lost renomination to Jefferson in a bitter contest. What's that now....-3?

@FrankZeleniuk

Point for Truman.

Buchanan campaigned with the pledge to serve 1 term, and he honored his pledge. Which other presidents made this pledge and honored it?

Upon retiring from the presidency, Buchanan said to his successor: "If you are as happy in entering the White House as I shall feel on returning to Wheatland [his home], you are a happy man.

Adams was the Federalist party and Jefferson was the Democratic Republican party.

Carter?

@WorldSigh

Carter was renominated, and it was Reagan vs. Carter.

Ted Kennedy was a jerk and tried to poach the nomination. Kennedy failed.

Reagan was host of GM Theatre, and he brought it big success, as big as Trump's success with Apprentice. Ted Kennedy maneuvered to have Reagan fired. Kennedy is a jerk. Reagan got him back, by becoming an epic Republican president. Ted Kennedy never got close to the presidency.

Jack Kennedy was virtuous. He was on course to gain the nomination when he was assassinated.

Presidents like Jefferson are not on the list. Jefferson didn't seek renomination in 1808. He retired gracefully, and with high popularity.

@jaymaron Interesting question. I have no guesses. I think it’s rare for an incumbent not to be re-nominated.

But I will take issue with the notion that Jack Kennedy was virtuous. He lied about his personal health and chased anything in a skirt.

@GaryWitt

Jack prosecuted the mob and John didn't. It was a point of division in the family.

@jaymaron Ah, I think you mean Bobby Kennedy, brother of JFK and former US Attorney General. JFK also went by Jack.

@GaryWitt

Yes, I meant Bobby. Thank you for the correction.

O'Reilly's book "Killing the Mob" is great. It covers the Kennedys.

John Kennedy and Bill Clinton were the last Democrat presidents that were pro-America.
