...They said the Republican Party was dead because FDR had so many terms..Who came after Harry Truman
in 52?...A Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower. Never underestimate an opponent..
History is full of that..Russia looked pretty dead when Hitler invaded in 1940..Germans got pretty close to Moscow..is that correct?...(within a few miles?)
...In 1945 when Germany fell, guess who was in Berlin when that happened...Russia & U.S.A & the rest of
the allies. No, I did not make that up...Never underestimate your opponent...NEVER!!!...
...Too many more examples......Check out the history of strong opponents making comebacks...
