How many losing presidential candidates eventually became president?
Between 2 and 4 times, depending on how you count. It has happened only once on a dual ticket, in the format you are familiar with today. Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) lost the 1920 election as the vice-presidential nominee with James N. Cox to Warren G. Harding. He won in a landslide election 12 years later, in 1932, defeating incumbant Herbert Hoover. In races before that, you probably wouldn't recognize how the races were run. Each president could have multiple running mates. A lot of the time, there were several candidates running for president with the same running mates. The election worked that the voter could vote for any president he wanted, and then also vote for whoever was listed as that president's running mate. Every vote for vice-president no matter who was listed at the top of the ticket counted. James K. Polk lost the 1840 election as one of3potential vice-presidents running on the incumbant Martin Van Buren ticket versus 1 on the challenging William Henry Harrison ticket. Not only did his party loose the presidentialelection, he came in last among the4 vice-presidential candidates. He then won the 1844 election against Henry Clay. And a special case.... Andrew Jackson lost the 1824 vice-presidential election coming in 4th place out of 6 (all 6 running as the bottom of multiple presidential tickets). He was listed as a possible vice president to 3 out of the 4 presidential candidates. Why was he not listed on the 4th presidential ticket? Because that was his ticket. He ran for president at the same time.... and won, but not really. No one won a majority, so the race went to the House of Representatives. Although he won more popularvotes and more electoral votes, he lost the vote in the house. He ran again in 1828 and won against his foe from the 1824 election, John Quincy Adams. The focus here is more that he lost the presidential election than loosing the vice-presidential election. And another special case.... John Tyler lost the 1836 vice-presidential election. His party lost the presidential race, and he came in 3rd out of 4 in the vice-presidential race. He then ran for vice-president again in the 1840 election and won, and became president after only 30 days due to William Henry Harrison's famoulsy long winded speech in the middle of a cruddy day. He never actually won a presidential race, but still became president some time after loosing a vice-presidential race. It has also happened 2-4 times, however, that the incumbant vice-president won the presidential election. George H.W. Bush won the 1988 presidential election after winning the 1980 and 1984 vice-presidential elections on the Ronald Regan ticket. Martin Van Buren won the 1836 presidential election after winning the 1832 vice-presidential election on the Andrew Jackson ticket. and 2 special cases John Adams won the 1796 presidential election. However, there was yet a different system in place during the 1792 and 1789 elections where there were no votes for vice-president, it was just the person who got the second most votes for president that became vice-president. Thomas Jefferson won the 1800 presidential election under this same system, where he ran as the sitting vice-president against the sitting president and won (making John Adams the only former president to then serve as vice-president). So it seems that it does not matter if you win or loose a vice-presidential election, you have equal chances of eventually becoming president. (In fact it is far more common that the vice-president become president upon the death of the president.)
Why did Bernie Sanders lose The US presidential election of 2016 What did he do Wrong and How can He or a (Future) Berniecrat learn from his (own) Mistakes?
Sanders didn't loose the election he lost the primary. He just didn't have the money or backing of the power brokers. Hillary had this all tied up before the primary began. She has been working on her election since 2008. The moral to this is if anyone wants to run they need the party support, to organize a campaign early, and to reach the people who can support a campaign. Anyone can run for president, but not all can get what they need to support their election.
