RE: "Herndon was born mediocre"
I think Willie's death would be more distracting than his marital troubles. I think he had grown accustomed to Mary's ways long before he entered the White House.
When his 16 year old son, Calvin Jr. died in 1924, Calvin Coolidge said "when he died, the power and the glory of the presidency went with him." "There are few subjects that ignite more casual, uninformed bigotry and condescension from elites in this nation more than Dixie - Jonah Goldberg" |
