>>Your newest version now undoes your original point, because fully half the Presidents of the last 25 years that ran for re-election have indeed won re-election. <<

Fully half? Now who is the moron? 25 years brings us back to early 1975, correct Einstein?

1976--incumbent Ford loses.
1980--incumbent Carter loses
1984--incumbent Reagan wins.
1992--incumbent Bush loses.
1996--incumbent Clinton wins.

That's 5 races, and 3 incumbent losses. Fully half, requires 2.5 wins, and 2.5 losses. But we have 3 losses. Is it your low IQ that led you to this error? Or are you resorting to trickery to make a point by excluding Ford since he was technically not running for re-election? My example went back approximately 30 years--why have you shortened it to 25? Another trick? And my original example, with which you take issue, had to do with turning incumbent Presidents out of office; you now mischaracterize my point by claiming I was talking about re-election. But I guess I must accustom myself to being misquoted by you.

No wonder you so easily resort to name-calling and nitpicking; you've so little else in your armamentarium.
