    There’s a lesson in Teddy though. The industry republicans did their damnedest to sideline him and would’ve succeeded if McKinley hadn’t been shot. They put him in the vice presidency in the first place to get him out of the New York governors house.

      Yep. Lots of lessons in our historical precedents that Dems pretend don’t exist.

      Nevertheless, I would 100% vote for Teddy Roosevelt’s corpse
