Which election pick upset you the most? 😬
BIDEN
CARTER 1980
CARTER 2024
1936. FDR was terrible economically.
Thomas = Theodore apparently.
Imagine having a hard time picking a candidate because they’re both good instead of them both being awful that must be nice.
Hard to imagine that happening again anytime soon.

There have been numerous highly competent people running for president in the past thirty years. Your brand of political cynicism is popular these days, but it often comes with a very unrealistic idea of how democracy works - collaboration and compromise between people in power who simply need to be well-informed, respect expertise, diplomatic and intelligent enough to distinguish fact from fiction.
I both highly agree, and highly disagree.
If we’re just talking the last 10 years, or even the last 20, we have had either presidents that are far too emotional, to the point of affirming radicalism, or presidents that compromise to such a degree, they become party-puppets rather than autonomous, well-educated leaders that draw upon their studies. They’re too forged by political status rather than actual progress, though that’s not their fault as individuals. That’s more of an issue with populist politics, as well as political nepotism/traditionalism. Prior to that though, I would agree. Nixon just had bad luck when he was caught, otherwise, he was actually a fairly regular and fairly positive president. Not super forward-thinking, but a very solid leader. Post-Nixon was basically.... fairly strong all the way up to the end of the 90s, though Reagan set some fairly frightening precedents in terms of populism over efficacy. And Bush Jr. not always as bad as people say, but still mostly poor, especially in regards to the precedent set in how interventionism is conducted, how we handle oil shortages, and implementing the start of a Surveillance State. Obama did not help in that regard. Trump and Biden have ultimately ignored the Surveillance issue, keeping focus away from it. As for their issues of choice, admittedly, they had brought light to issues like immigration and gun violence, but I’m not sure if they really had very strong reforms in that regard. Immigration reform will be a long , gradual, and arduous process, so we’ll have to wait and see on that.
On the other hand, gun rights, in the public space, has very weak discussions. Moreover, abortion is strangely lacking right now in terms of grounded conversations that are rational and runs too much on emotion, and no president ever seems to address this.
That’s a massive problem that somewhat has marred every presidency though. Pathos over Logos in rhetoric. It’s just becoming worse with time.

Why don't we ever listen to what presidents warn about in their farewell addresses? Washington warned against political parties, Eisenhower warned against the military industrial complex.
To be fair, political parties probably do more good than harm, since it's usually an indication that candidates are actually trying to compete with each other to keep their party in power instead of making false promises and disregarding public opinion. I actually think one of the major causes of Mexico's problems come from the fact that there's really only one major political party there.
I agree, however, that the military industrial complex has become problematic. I don't think it's as simple as divesting funds into other sectors, since there are so many jobs and foreign relations that depend on the American military, but I do think the economy would likely improve if some of that money went into healthcare and/or education.
And Reagan warned against communism
and Clinton allegedly not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.
Well that’s only two farewell addresses, but your point is still taken
and let's not forget about Jimmy Carter's warnings against fanny packs and MC Hammer pants... so eerily prescient.
You're not fooling anyone, Mr. Beat, we know that secretly you're immortal and you've voted in every election.
most likely 😨😰😰
I wonder if he ever thinks late at night
that he should have voted for George Washington instead of George Washington
He ran in 1872
Too Funny !!!!
Is he secretly the queen?
I like imagining Mr.Beat as a 250 year old immortal that was around for all of these elections.
most likely
Mr Beat witnessed the birth of Christ and Queen Elizabeth
@@afnaansyed5975 yea those were about the same time. Jesus is a bit younger though.

I'm so glad that you are a US Historian. I've been studying the Presidents ever since I was in the 2nd Grade (1968-68). I discovered your CZcams work over a year ago. I also was a Public Librarian from 1981-2011... Keep up the GREAT WORK. We have so much in common...
Hope you’re great, you’re awesome Reginald!
Hahaaaaa! NOT at all a historian.
@@kevinumber7 historian: expert in or student of history. Idk if you came off strange or if you're a hater but I would say they're both historians, Op and Mr. Beat
One of the many things I appreciate about Mr. Beat is that he doesn't just copypaste the same couple of reaction faces for his thumbnails. Even if they come out super awkward and weird like this one, it just makes him seem more authentic. Love it
He was wearing a mask. In his house... not too smart....
. . . I mean yeah true, but like,
Yeah ok u right

Fun fact: How long you wear your mask in your house before taking it off is a heavily weighed measure in IQ tests!
Walter Mondale passed away today unfortunately. In the stream Mr. Beat talked about how Mondale was still alive, but that was only true for a few more hours. RIP :(
RIP
He was the earliest vice president still alive. RIP
Never cared for him but as much as I don’t like her politics have developed a soft spot for Geraldine Ferraro.
Mondale-Ferraro For A Better Tomorrow
A truly and thankfully embarrassing failure of a political campaign that would of had brought us even closer to communist dystopia than we are now. Ironically Ferraro would be considered a Republican by today’s standards.

Wow thats crazy
Funny fact: Calvin Coolidge talked so little, he got the nickname Silent Cal. At one point, someone made a bet that he could get Silent Cal to say at least 3 words by the end of a meeting. Silent Cal headers about this and only at the end of the meeting did he finally say to the man, “You lose!” Everyone burst out laughing.
ok thats funny 😂
This reads like a fake tumblr post In the best way possible
2 words and it was some lady dude.
I saw a similar thing happen in the movie Donnie Brasco.
Lmao is this a troll because it’s said every 5 seconds whenever mentioning him?
I really like how all of your picks were very well reasoned and based on policy instead of emotion.
The most recent year he talked about is almost 30yrs ago hard to have emotion in it really
Man literally chose to not pick FDR because he wanted someone else, no other reasons given
absurd.
alot of the reasons he gave were just silly or because "he's more experienced".
Kind of hard to get emotional about politicians who have been dead for tens if not hundreds of years... he purposefully did not discuss any of the elections since 2000, which are the ones the average person alive today gets emotional about.
Really good read on Mr. Beat. Excellent character and signs of integrity. I really, really like him and am spending my evening watching this.

Thank you Mr Beat. This was a marathon of a video, but I think this is one of the most important videos I've watched in a long time. Thank you so much for your content.
Fun Fact: In the election of 1920, Eugene Debs, an openly socialist third party candidate, ran most of his presidential campaign from a jail cell and got over 3% of the popular vote. For reference, Jo Jorgensen only managed to get about 1% of the popular vote in the 2020 election. Why was Debs in jail? Because he dared to speak out against the WW1 draft.
Eugene Debs is one of my heros
Eugene debs lost his mind and died alone in a sanitarium! A fate all socialists must see
Ross Perot got 19% and I think Gary Johnson in 2016 got more or equal to Eugene.
still a socialist.... we got FDR instead *d'oh*

Absolutely Amazing. TY
*Fun fact* : Although is a pretty common thing to do in modern times, Woodrow Wilson was the first president since James Monroe to run for re-election with the exact same vice president .
What was the reason for this?
I love Robert F. Kennedy’s speech in Indianapolis after the assassination of Dr. King. He spoke with heart and it resonated with the people. I wish we were able to see what kind of President he’d be.
Probably a good one but he was totally wrong on a number of things and I doubt he would of lasted a full term much less two. I feel the same way about his son who I have a lot of respect for.
@@markgorenshtein1946 he definitely would have lasted to terms if he touted the success of social programs and singed the civil rights act

Great video. I gotta say, I understand where Teddy was coming from in 1912 though, and I don't think it was entirely ego driven. Conservation was the "baby" of his presidency and Taft completely abandoned him there. Roosevelt had called it the single most important issue and created multiple national parks, established the U.S. Forest Service, created bird refuges, and set aside millions of acres of land to be federally protected. He's pretty much the sole reason the west wasn't completely torn down by timber companies. Taft promised TR that he would keep up his legacy here and protect federal land, but then completely abandoned his promise and began selling this land off to for-profit companies. Roosevelt was (understandably) pissed and couln't believe that the guy he had hand-picked as his successor would betray him like that. So while it's unfortunate that TR running led to Wilson's election, I blame Taft much more than Roosevelt. Teddy was just trying to protect his legacy and ensure that his work wasn't all for nothing.
Though I find myself occasionally disagreeing (sometimes vehemently), this whole stream is a great testament to free thought and rational discussion.
It's kind of scary that this video was made one day before Walter Mondale died
At least he lived a long Life

I believe every single American high school student should do this exercise. It's essential to understand history and your own views.
Should be in civics classes.
No they probably shouldn’t. To make an informed pick you’d have to know what each candidate stood for and that would mean spending a disproportionate amount of time educating children about the views and ideology of figures who aren’t that important in a high school level education. This would be an exercise better suited to college level studies as I don’t think high school students need to know every single losing candidate to every single election.
@@thevaultofwisdom1242 I agree with this, You could make an entire college course out of this idea, however I think it would be a good exercise for high school students in a limited capacity however, choose one or two elections per marking period (9 weeks at my high school) and do those. I think it would of been a really cool idea for my AP US history class in high school.
Roosevelt might have entered the war sooner. Wilson passed many useful reforms and had more planned. Charles Evans Hughes would have been more level headed on foreign policy.
Wilson was certainly racist but so was most of society. Hughes wanted fairer treatment for Afro Americans but certainly didn't regard them as equals.

I'm glad you went for Stevenson in 1956. In that election he was vastly underrated. He was looking to the future--Ending A-bomb testing, lowering the U.S./U.S.S.R. tension, universal income. De4spite the warning Ike gave four years later, he just watched the military/industrial complex grow and grow.
Plus Ike, like Truman, was a proponent of Domino theory and American foreign intervention which, at the very least, caused the grow of the very same military industrial complex he spoke against.
Great channel! I was fortunate enough to have discovered it during a "Stained Glass Stories" CZcams video on Shoegaze versus Grunge. Everything you put together is informative and entertaining.

Good Stuff Mr B. I love your work.
Love this stream. Best 3 1/2 hours I've ever spent.
The Roosevelt v Hoover one made me laugh because it reminded me of what my dad always said: "There's a reason they call vacuum cleaners hoovers. It's because they suck!"
lol yeah not a Hoover fan. Thanks for the kind words!
I've been reading about the presidential history since I was 8 years old. I'm now 59, and enjoy your CZcams sessions...
Thanks.

was thinking about beavis and butthead: do america the entire time with that butthead doll in the background... beavis' famous "are you threatening me" to the painting of nixon holding the peace fingers up hahaha
Just found and subscribed ! Truly enjoyable and interesting!!!
For me, the biggest what-could-have-beens (Besides the obvious Lincoln serving out his full term) are Garfield not being assassinated, and Henry Wallace staying FDR's Vice President and taking over when he died.
i always wondered what a Wallace presidency would be like
Chad Henry Wallace > virgin incel George Wallace
I disagree. Truman was an amazing president and Wallace, while he would have been a good president domestically, was extremely naive to the threat of the Soviet Union. He would not have stood up to them the way he would need to. Wallace even admitted this himself later in his life that he was foolishly optimistic on the soviets.
Henry Wallace ❤
This is next level dedication because you really have to imagine yourself in context.
This is a really cool video and exercise but I feel like it's tainted by modern day bias, like how would he know if he would be against slavery or indian removal back in the 1800s?

I don't know Mr. Beat if you notice a trend here? We always freaking vote for the opposite party when things are going wrong. I think as voters we need to be more disciplined... we keep messing it up for ourselves and always voting for what appears to be a good choice but never ends up being so. Maybe we should have stuck it out with Carter or Ford instead of switching parties because people are getting upset over inflation. Since I'm not well studied in these subjects I just call out that trend I notice and see how we all ended up in a more difficult situation than we started.
Would you consider doing a video on the best candidates who LOST the Presidency (and never won at a later election) and what were their proposals? Thomas Dewey, Adlai Stevenson, George Clinton, etc. ?
Yes!
My personal picks: Walter Mondale, William Jennings Bryan, Adlai Stevenson, Henry Clay, Bob Dole, Wendell Willkie, John Fremont and Daniel Webster.
And for ppl who lost in the primaries: Robert Kennedy, Eugene Mcarthy, Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Tulsi Gabbard, Andrew Yang, Jesse Jackson, Al Smith,
I wanted Ronald to win all 50 states but I would feel kind of Feel bad for Mondale Or anyone that doesn’t win a state.
Mondale
@@MichiganGirl42 Bernie?
FDR: *breaks historical precedent of being elected more than 2 times*
The people: Jokes on you, I’m into that shit
Yes, but how? Let's get into those details
Mr. Beat, this is quite a feat!
Very cool that you have awesome old newspaper, I’m a big fan of old American Artifacts !!!
Ross perot was a very interesting candidate, he was pro choice, he wanted more gun control including an assault weapon ban and he wanted to raise taxes on the rich, and he was still considered to be the most conservative candidate in the 92 election by many people it's a stark contrast to american politics today.
Perot didn't just want to raise taxes on the rich. He proposed increasing the federal tax on gasoline by a whopping 50 cents per gallon. Hence, he wanted to increase taxes on everyone.
I liked how you always called Bob Dole 'Bob Dole' just like Bob Dole always does.
He actually doesn’t and you only think he does based on commercials and SNL. Sad.
@@markgorenshtein1946 It's a joke 🙄
David Ozab It’s amazing how many people believe these “jokes” like people actually believe Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from her house and that Trump told people to ingest bleach
@@markgorenshtein1946 And that Dan Quayle said before his trip to Latin America that he wished he had studied Latin so he could speak with the people there.

You should do a more cut down version of this video too. Really like your content
Oh that was super weird. First time I've clicked on your channel I put in my ear bud just in time to hear you shout out Dillon. 😂 I almost crapped my pants, I thought you were watching me
Rest In Peace Walter Mondale. America was better off because of you and you will never be forgotten.
Every state but Minnesota would have something to say about that.
Our country is worse off because of Regan. Rip to the GOAT.
Reagan was a HORRIBLE president.
@@hes_alive In what way?
Its sad to see a VP die. RIP Mondale
Thank you for voting for me at least once Mr.Beat!
Heck yeah
I voted for you man in both elections i was still alive for those days
@@thomasmuller9093 Thank you, president Nixon!
@@ViswaretasKotra np mr president Bush
Hey, I voted for you in 1988
Your channel is awesome
I voted for Ross Perot in 1992. Just watch the 92 election debate with him, Bush & Clinton here on CZcams and you will see why. BTW I voted for Bush in 88 & Clinton in 96.
Ulysses S. Grant truly is one of the more underrated Presidents. What I feel is important to mention here that wasn’t, was the fact that the Lost Cause crushed much of Grant’s legacy and notoriety. For someone so monumental in American history, his place in it is largely forgotten.
He oversaw the most corrupt presidency in US history, and this corruption directly led to several market crashes and economic crises.
what’s the lost cause
@@bruv718 “The Lost Cause Narrative” was a post-Civil War narrative concocted by southerners to make their involvement in the Civil War seem less egregious. They downplayed the war being about slavery and more about being state’s rights. Grant’s legacy was largely denigrated by subscribers to this narrative.
@@nepatrul6075 Well Grant also had a very corrupt and inept administration. They did nothing about Black Friday lol (not what we know as Black Friday today).
Custers last stand and the battle of wounded knee! That made him good? Wow?
RIP Walter Mondale.
One of the best VPs in this country’s history.
RIP
I wouldn’t say that Carter was a disaster
@@HighlightWorkshop If you are trying to hate on Carter, you need commas. Or else it comes off as the exact opposite of what you are saying.
@@BreadistheName lmao my bad yeah I’m trying to hate on him
Best? I would say Theodore Roosevelt is the best. One thing I hate about him is that he split up the votes and let Wilson win. But Rest In Peace to Walter Mondale. He seems like a nice guy to have a dinner with.
When i was in Elementary School we had a collection of books in our library on each & every United States President up to Clinton or maybe GWB, i read them all love your content Mr. Beat
I’m normally a policy guy and hate that people vote on personality so much, but the one guy who I’d have voted for, more for his personality than his policies, was Teddy Roosevelt. I love that guy, haha! Funny enough, I’d have voted for Calvin Coolidge 12 years later, who was almost the exact opposite of Teddy.
This is a bold move to do on your part. I'm so proud of you!
The first time I ever voted was for Jimmy Carter in 1976 (I was 19 years old). I had grown up in the South in a fairly conservative Christian home; but had become increasingly liberal in college. Carter really inspired me in 1976 - he was a strong evangelical Christian with a centrist economic approach and a progressive social and foreign policy agenda. He inherited stagflation and an energy crisis from his Republican predecessors, along with a disillusioned populace suffering from both the post-watergate and post-Vietnam War syndrome. Simply put, he was elected President at a very difficult moment in history. But the economy DID improve under Carter, and he had some major foreign policy accomplishments - from the Panama Canal Treaty to the Camp David Peace Accords. He helped to positively transform the image of the US in the eyes of the world with his unprecedented emphasis on human rights rather than the Machiavellian dirty tricks of previous Cold War administrations. He was a breath of fresh air.
Don't forget that Carter got Gen. Zia to assassinate Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Pakistan's first and only democratically elected Prime Minister. How Christian of him!
I am just like you but younger
These viewers are all patriots and I believe like you Mr Bean "Freedom Fighters for our great country like Springsteen songs "I Was Born In The USA!" 😘😭🤳❤️ Our Viet Nam Vets were the Warriors of our time. They fought a worthless war and one was my husband James Edward McLaud a USA Navy Seal and Black Burae. A new recruit,a young new sailor was afraid to go to the front line. Jim saw the fear in his eyes and volunteered to go in his place,but the Commander held Jim back. When only the Commander returned from Saigon, Jim asked "Where s the team?" The officer said that they all died. Jim hit the officer in the jaw therefore putting Him in the brig For 3.5 years. Jim spent his military time painting the walls in the prison walls so he wouldn t go insane. He was given a less than Honorable Discharge,which made him angry. When I heard Him was a Marshall Artist" I called his Commander and after telling him what Jim went through he changed his award as an excellent caring seal to an " Honorable Discharge." Jim when he died had the 21 gun salute and the American red flag draped over his casket to declare him a Viet Nam War Veteran with all the honors he died for. He told me it was a war we should never had entered. We had no right to meddle in their affairs.This is what Jim believed in. He died at the age of 66 with Pancreatic cancer in 2009AD. Thanks men like Jim a warrior they got their freedom. Our men returned with PTSD and felt empty inside. Johnny Wall was Jim s best friend and his name is the first casualty s name on the wall.
*coughs in inflation*
Exactly, and it’s for the same reasons that some people disliked him. but they’ll say it’s because he handled the Iranian hostage crisis poorly. Definitely onne of the most humble and morally upstanding Presidents we’ve ever had.
I have already seen this video and for some reason it just came on again for like the second time now that I'm watching it and for some reason I can't turn it off it's too good

The "this is a school night, what am I doing?" part is the most relatable thing ever. Lol.
You are a completely honest person, truly analytical. I really enjoy your educated opinions. It is hard to be for Nixon today, but it was not hard in 1960.
Not honest
I would’ve voted for Theodore Roosevelt both in 1904 and 1912! That dude was awesome!
Very interesting post love it
I’ve read tons of presidential history books and watched many documentaries, and you sir rank as the best presenter of the subject.
Do you have any specific recommendations? I love Presidential history
I supported Nixon in 1968 but would have supported RFK in retrospect. He would have quickly pulled us of Vietnam, would have pushed civil rights issues, was a union guy, and many other things. We lost both MLK and JFK in 1968. I was at the Ambasador Hotel on the night JFK was killed. It was a difficult year for America.
I really think this country lost something when RFK died.
Very interesting this video as I am a South Korean foreigner.Once I visited Netherlands to have time with my Dutch friends. I love too much Netherlands and Dutch people . .

Wendell Willkie was a very underrated guy.
He was staunchly anti-Hitler and an interventionist already in 1940, he was much more progressive on civil rights than FDR and pledged to end segregation in DC (in 1942 he would also come publicly in favor of ending segregation in the armed forces), he criticized both parties for not doing enough about civil rights for African-Americans, later he indirectly criticized FDR for the internment camps by stating that " war is no excuse for depriving groups of people of their rights", he went against antisemitism and those who blamed the Jews for the war, and there is definitely much more one could say about him.
Willkie 1940, hands down!
Thank you! I should have brought all that up.

The Admiral Stockdale VP debate performance was one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen. He wasn't adequately prepped and used a hearing aid which was picking up a ton of interference, so you have to feel for the guy. He was asked a question and the camera switched to his podium and he wasn't there! (walking around trying to get away from the electronic interference). At other times Gore and Quayle were talking and Stockdale could be seen walking around behind them. In response to one journalist's question he said "I'm all out of ammo on that one"... sadly he's not alone in uninformed candidates in modern times, however.
I'm in my 60's and a history buff, I found this exercise fascinating . Try as you might though, you did inject today's values in some of your choices for president. Great job in any case!!! I enjoyed watching very much!!
I was so happy to hear you say that you were gonna vote Gerald Ford in 1976. Imo he was a very underrated President. His 'WIN' policy (Whip Inflation Now) sounded stupid because he basically told people to stop buying so much but the funny thing was that people started to buy less and Inflation got cut in half. Funny but effective policy.
WIN was tacky but also needed. Glad you also appreciated that and I should have brought it up.
