FDR was able to get the nomination four times and was elected four times.
He won his first election because the country was in a depression and the Republicans had been in office for 12 years. Roosevelt promised a New Deal and with the help of a supportive Congress got sweeping new program into law.
The people who were helped by the programs loved him forever. He won a second term very easily after the economy picked up . He was an excellent speaker who knew how to gain affection from voters and how to use his office to solidify his power base with his party. Despite opposition to the idea of running for a third term, he was able to get the nomination and win the election. When war broke out, he got a fourth term by convincing people that it was unwise to change leaders in the midst of a war. When he died in Georgia, people lined the railroad tracks that brought his body back to New York for burial.
