Wasnt Johnson selected for VP mostly as a concession by Lincoln and the Republicans to the South, or is that just what they tell us in school?

Not even just because he was super duper moderate on punishing the South, but just because he was so completely ineffective. Wasnt Johnson selected for VP mostly as a concession by Lincoln and the Republicans to the South, or is that just what they tell us in school? That's most of it - what it misses is that he basically was trying to play to the political center. It looked like the Radical faction of the Republican Party was going to run John Fremont as a presidential candidate and it was not at all clear that he would have actually won re-nomination for the Republican Party, so he didn't run on their ticket but instead on the National Union ticket, which included the War Democrats represented by Johnson. the Radicals then formed the Radical Democratic party and ran Fremont. The Copperhead Democrats/Former Whig nominated McClellan who proved to be a surprisingly strong candidate and Lincoln's allies even up convincing Fremont to drop out of the race because there was a real fear McClellan would win. So yes, it was a concession to Democrats, but it was also kind of a 'fuck you' to Charles Sumner and emblematic of the real fear he would lose the election of 1864. --- Board 8's Voice of Reason https://imgur.com/chXIw06 <cite>Eddv posted [p:908268615] in Politics C...

red sox 777 09/07/18 1:01:29 AM #260:	ChaosTonyV4 posted... red sox 777 posted... Worst politicians..... Franklin Roosevelt Hillary Clinton This might have a recency bias. ...FDR? FDR set up the pillars of the modern big government, including the biggest ponzi scheme in history, social security. Social security became popular because the first people in got a very good payout relative to what they paid in, paid for by people who paid in later. Now we are stuck because we are paying 10% of the country's earnings into a pension fund that does not invest the money in anything but people expect to generate returns. We can't get rid of it because the 2nd and 3rd generation have paid into it their whole lives and want to be paid what they're owed. We can't keep it without forcing the next generations to foot the bill. The problem is it works just like a ponzi scheme - there is no actual investment so all you can do is find more new investors to pay the old investors. Until you go broke. In FDR's case, we may go broke 100 years later.....but that is still a terrible thing, and he should be held responsible in the eyes of history. He also appointed a bunch of justices who overturned longstanding constitutional precedent. Only since 1995 or so have we started to return toward the old law, and we are still a couple justices away from making a major sea change back. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:908268995] in Politics C...

However, a journalist will never reveal a source albeit this is on a monumental scale which means the opinion team and the news team are on opposing sides within the newsroom. The decision was in the purview of James Bennet, editorial page editor, and James Dao, op-ed editor, with publisher AG Sulzberger weighing in, a Times spokeswoman said. The newspapers executive editor, Dean Baquet, was not involved because the news pages are his responsibility, and the column appeared in the Times opinion section. That led to a Times reporter, Jodi Kantor, tweeting that Times reporters must now try to unearth the identity of an author that our colleagues in Opinion have sworn to protect with anonymity? Mr Dao told a Times reporter that the piece was submitted last week through an intermediary, and anonymity was not granted until editors were confident in the writers identity. We believe publishing this essay anonymously is the only way to deliver an important perspective to our readers, the newspaper said. Last night a defiant Trump, appearing at an unrelated event at the White House, lashed out at the Times for publishing the op-ed. https://metro.co.uk/2018/09/06/who-wrote-the-new-york-times-op-ed-on-donald-trump-here-are-the-candidates-7918322/ James Dao knows!
