FDR also got re-elected handily in 1936 with about double the unemployment rate that Obama has. At least FDR could say “it’s better than when I took office”. What will Obama run on? “I took unemployment numbers UP from when I took office”.

Because every Republican that ran against him was a squishy liberal Romney-type.

1932 Election -- Herbert Hoover

1936 Election -- Alfred "Alf" Mossman Landon

1940 Election -- Wendell Lewis Willkie

1944 Election -- Thomas Edmund Dewey

1948 Election -- Dewey lost to Truman again

Every Republican candidate above was a Trotskyite RINO, posing as a "moderate" Republican.

Dewey was defeated twice, once by FDR, once by the "moderate" liberal Harry Truman.

The others were defeated by FDR, the second worst communist president in the history of the USA.
