how complete of an idiot are you? FDR was first elected to the office of president in 1932. he then won the 1936 presidential election, and then again in 1940, and then again in 1944.

try a little research before you spout off;

1944 Presidential Election

Election of 1944

1944 Presidential General Election Results

Why in the world are people wasting time on this thread?
THis might be the most inane thread I've seen on this Forum.
You have an OP who obviously either failed or ignored his classes in American History, who insists that the election of 1944 never happened, and so many people are trying to convince him otherwise.
This whole thread is ridiculous!

I expected nothing less from a conspiracy theorist. Seriously, get help.
The guy you fired, he probably already had mental problems to begin with. You don't become crazy overnight like him unless you already suffer from some diagnosable mental issue.

What did you prove? You proved that elections were held and Roosevelt won. We all know that. You can't prove that There is no way to prove that because it happened otherwise. He was re-elected. There is no way to know what he would have done if he had not been elected. No way at all.
MY BAD ... thought you said there was no proof ... hate wearing my weak glasses ...

I just get fed up with liberal stupidity and their consistent lack of researching SIMPLE FACTS ...

impossible to keep track of who is liberal on which forum - I post to way too many!

Generally when someone is referred to as a 'lame duck' it means that s/he cannot be re-elected, in otherwords s/he has served all possible terms of service.

I'm thinking it means something entirely different to you.

Kat said that there was no proof that FDR wouldn't have been re-elected.
You provided proof, as did she, that he had been re-elected.

See the difference?
No?
Might want to check that prescription.

I'm thinking Digital Duck means "incumbent". Yes, incumbency is a powerful re-election advantage. However, some incumbent presidents have not been re-elected, most recently Daddy Bush.
