I keep thinking 1945 when I think of this election

[Lithos]

I know that we're going to win and I want to see the campaign over. However, I know that we're currently racing to establish position for the next war - the one which is decided down ballot in the House, Senate and State Governments.

2. Plus 1945 was the last time the Cubs were in the world series

Just sayin'

(I know that was uncalled for)

[Lithos]

4. maybe this is a good thing then!

Think about it. I want to see my team not only go to the World Series, but win it. They've never gone my entire life. So, with the odds favoring them, perhaps the odds will favor US as well, electorally.

5. I think of 1860 and 1932.

We're dealing with a movement of historical danger and evil.

Trump and everything he and his hordes of vile supporters must be repudiated in three weeks.

[Lithos]

6. I can see your point

Though there is not the sense of victory and the view for what's next, like I'm seeing now.

1860, was a failure to transition caused by a President who was not on board with the changes....

1932 was hope after failure. Obama is certainly not a failure.

However, i do get the feeling of a changing tide and the strong sense a tipping point is happening in this country - a watershed moment in the face of - let's face it fear, rejection and moral corruption.

9. Was thinking Germany for 1932.

A defining moment, where it really all is on the line.

10. Hindenberg was a disaster

More like Harding than Obama

13. Obama significance is that he represents a pluralistic society

Trumpism is a rejection of multiculturalism and pluralism.

7. AuH2O, except Rs had a better candidate then and won AZ.

[Lithos]

11. That's 1964

Whole different thing...

12. Every election is different. But Trump and Goldwater will have near the same results, blown away.

The big difference is Johnson was an incumbent president.

14. I can't really find anything analogous to this election, though some could make a couple of

comparisons:

1928 - Hoover follows Coolidge (Repub)
1988 - Bush follows Reagan (Repub)
2000 - Gore follows Clinton (Dem)
2016 - ?

There could be some comparison of tRump to Goldwater, but Goldwater was running against a popular incumbant. SoC Clinton is not an incumbant and does not have that advantage, though she does have the advantage of following a popular President.
