A campaign promise is also called an election promise. Campaign promises made by a politician are part of what is known as their platform, which is a list of things the candidate supports.
Generally speaking when a President is elected as president, and he has made promises he takes those promises as a "mandate" of the people to do (or complete) that promise.In this context "Mandate" is the will of the people expressed in their support of his election.
No. Taylor did not run for re-election since he died in his first term. I do not think he made any promises when he ran the first time.
President Nixon did not use the election and election promises to diffuse ill-will over the war in Vietnam. He wanted to keep the people angry and essentially make them hate the Vietnamese to keep support over the war efforts.

Transitive Verb
No, James K. Polk never lost a presidential election. One of his campaign promises was not to run for re-election.
Many Americans think that when they cast their ballot, they are voting for their chosen candidate for a better government. In actuality they are selecting groups of electors in the electoral college. A candidate must receive an absolute majority of electoral votes (currently 270) to win the Presidency.The election for President and Vice President is not a direct election by United States citizens. Citizens vote for electors, representing a state, who are the authorized constitutional participants in a presidential election.
recall
Franklin D. Roosevelt won the 1932 presidential election, defeating incumbent President Herbert Hoover. FDR's victory marked a shift in American politics as he campaigned on promises of economic relief during the Great Depression. Hoover's handling of the crisis contributed to his defeat, and Roosevelt's New Deal policies became popular in addressing the nation's economic challenges.
Officially a presidential candidate's campaign runs from the day he announces his candidacy until the election. There is on official early or late deadline for announcing but it has become customary to declare after the midterm elections so this time would be two years before the presidential election. But, serious candidates begin rallying support and promises of financing earlier. This advance period varies but can be years. In the case of Mitt Romney, he ran in the previous primary and I don't think he ever really stopped, so you could say he has been stumping for president for 6 years.
The verb "won" is transitive because it takes an object (the election), while the verb "began" is intransitive because it does not require an object to make sense.
