Episodes

Willie Person Mangum: Not So Magnanimous Actually 13.12.2020

The first prezzy wezzy candidate for 1836 seems to be a little wet behind the ears when it comes to years as a US Senator. Like he literally just got here! Nonetheless, I see no harm and seeing what the man's got, even if it's not much. Become a Patron!

We are back to our regularly scheduled election biography programming for 1836, and as we begin to look at the roster, I think I need to strongly urge the 1800s electors to please stop protest voting for vice presidential candidates that don't even know they're getting votes and might as well be retired. *sigh* This is a REBROADCAST with the NEW INFO at the 5:09 mark.
