Book Description
The 1932 election of Franklin Delano Roosevelt seemed to hold the promise of Democratic domination for years to come. However, leading up to the 1936 election, persistent economic problems, a controversial domestic agenda, and the perception of a weak foreign policy were chipping away at public support. The president faced unrelenting criticism from both the Left and the Right, and it seemed unlikely that he would cruise to the same clear victory he enjoyed in 1932. But 1936 was yet another landslide win for FDR, which makes it easy to forget just how contested the campaign was. In Voting Deliberatively, Mary Stuckey examines little-discussed components of FDR’s 1936 campaign that aided his victory. She reveals four elements of this reelection campaign that have not received adequate attention: the creation of public opinion, the attention paid to local organizations, the focus on specific kinds of interests, and the public rhetoric that tied it all together. Previous studies of the 1936 presidential election discuss elements such as FDR’s vulnerability before the campaign and the weakness of Republican candidate Alf Landon. But these histories pay little attention to the quantity and quality of information Roosevelt acquired, the importance of organizations such as the Good Neighbor League and the Committee of One, the mobilization of the vote, and the ways in which these organizational strategies fused with Roosevelt’s rhetorical strategies. Stuckey shows how these facets combined in one of the largest victories in Electoral College history and provided a template for future victory.

Languages : en
Pages : 587
Book Description
ANTHONY L. HALL takes aim at the global events of 2017 with a unique and refreshing perspective. Some of the topics in this volume include: President Trump telling pathological lies “He’s continually challenging us to believe the lie we hear instead of the truth we see.” Instagram mainstreaming strippergrams “Instagram has normalized twits sharing, for all the world to see, not just their family albums but intimate pictures that should be for a lover’s eyes only. It is little more than a platform for hard-core narcissists and soft-porn exhibitionists to show off.” President Putin waiting in vain for payoff from hacking US election “America’s ingenious system of checks and balances has so circumscribed Trump’s Putinesque impulses that all Putin has to show for his hacking is Russia suffering even worse economic sanctions and irreparable reputational damage.” White supremacists rampaging in Charlottesville over Confederate statue “I can think of 99 things that bother me about racism in America today, but a Confederate statue ain’t one.” Justin Gatlin spoiling Usain Bolt’s swan song in 100m “The look of anguish on Bolt’s face—when it struck him that he was going to lose—rivals that look in ‘The Scream,’ Edvard Munch’s most famous painting. #Priceless!” Fox News reckoning with scourge of sexual harassment “Fox News markets itself as a Christian sanctuary in a wasteland of moral degeneracy. But these scandals expose it as just a proverbial Peyton Place.” Athletes and CEOs snubbing Trump “He is so unpopular that being invited to this White House is tantamount to being invited to a garden party by that proverbial skunk.”
