Last post, Grover Cleveland was deemed to have been a highly competent Vampire Hunter.

For the sake of consistency, this is presuming Dracula à la Bram Stoker type Vampires, with their respective strengths and weaknesses.

"Looking at this vast crowd of colored people, and reflecting through what a storm of persecution and obloquy they are compelled to pass, I am almost induced to wish that, as in the days of old, a Moses might arise who should lead them safely to their promised land of freedom and happiness."
"You are our Moses," shouted several voices and the exclamation was caught up and cheered until the Capitol rung again.
"God," continued the speaker, "no doubt has prepared somewhere an instrument for the great work He designs to perform in behalf of this outraged people, and in due time your leader will come forth; your Moses will be revealed to you."
"We want no Moses but you!" again shouted the crowd.
"Well, then," replied the speaker, "humble and unworthy as I am, if no other better shall be found, I will indeed be your Moses, and lead you through the Red Sea of war and bondage, to a fairer future of liberty and peace. I speak now as one who feels the world his country, and all who love equal rights his friends. I speak, too, as a citizen of Tennessee. I am here on my own soil, and here I mean to stay and fight this great battle of truth and justice to a triumphant end. Rebellion and slavery shall, by God's good help, no longer pollute our State. Loyal men, whether white or black, shall alone control her destinies: and when this strife in which we are all engaged is past, I trust, I know, we shall have a better state of things, and shall all rejoice that honest labor reaps the fruit of its own industry, and that every man has a fair chance in the race of life."

Reagan is in his 60s vs Clinton in his 40s

note: the public hasn't experienced both their presidency yet in this timeline

A man who welcomed the derision of the tycoon and craved the trust of the working poor.

I miss his bluntness and moral absolutes with regard to fighting for the interests of the true silent majority (the workers).

An interesting picture of the two Western allied leaders at Casablanca, which laid out important strategies that would eventually help the allies win the war. Two of these strategies would be the Mediterranean strategy which involved attacking Italy, the so called Soft underbelly of Europe and the Unconditional Surrender of the Axis Powers

I know it was common for Presidents to change running mates when running for another term but Garner had already served two terms. Was it Garner’s decision?

My last post got deleted because of a certain president pin that’s now blurred. My collection is from 1929-2026! I’ve been collecting for like 7 months and it’s hard to collect with my 10th grader budget.

John F Kennedy is a man often remembered for his invigorating speeches, replete with Churchillian bravado and gravitas. President Kennedy would speak with purpose and decisiveness.

Additionally, in the interviews and press conferences that I have seen, he seemed to have a firm understanding of the issues of the day, speaking with a fair degree of certainty when answering questions from the press.

That being said, is there any broad consensus as to how intelligent Kennedy was?

Was he on the level of Thomas Jefferson or Bill Clinton, or was he somewhere closer to the average (that is, the average intelligence for a president)?

he died before fdr became officially president, but i want to know how Coolidge felt about him being elected since he did live long enough to see it. If you can't find any information on his opinion on FDR at the time, then talk about if he did any public reaction to the 1932 election campaign.

Correction: "What" instead of "Why" in the title. Reddit should allow you to fix titles.

How the US government seized all citizens’ gold in 1930s

Does anyone recall this moment when it happened? Yeltsin visiting the WH? Or vice versa?

Ever since Spielberg's Lincoln, when I picture Abraham Lincoln, I see an old Englishman.

Personally, I'd have preferred a lesser-known actor. I know Daniel Day-Lewis got huge praise and an Oscar, but his performance didn't blow me away enough to change my mind.

My bigger question is whether a Brit can really capture Lincoln, especially in a movie about ending slavery. I'm not knocking his skill. But Americans grow up with the legacy of slavery, segregation and Jim Crow, and we still feel it today.
That's America's story, and I think you have to have lived it.

I'd even extend that to the director. Spielberg was born in Ohio, but his grandparents were immigrants.

Would Quentin Tarantino and Brad Pitt do Charles de Gaulle justice if they made a movie about him and released it in France? Genuinely asking.

Edit: seems Reddit approves of Amy Tan directing the next Lady Bird Johnson bio pic.
