when the recount was still up in the air, some guest speaker from Texas spoke at the Christian Church in Iowa and said that the next 4 years were critically important, that is why the Devil was trying so hard to make the wrong man President.
Back in 1896 plant managers were telling their workers "If Bryan is elected, don't bother coming to work tomorrow, because you will not have a job." That's a little bit more serious than what pastors said.
