Donald Trump and the Spirit of 1876

Though it is mostly true, it is not completely true that Donald Trump is swinging around wildly trying to stay in power. He has a playbook, or at least his advisors do. It is an old playbook that has only worked once, but when it worked, it produced the most controversial election results in American history.: the election of 1876 between Republican Rutherford B. Hayes and Democrat Samuel Tilden.
