With the exception of AM JOY, MSNBC is useless on the weekends. I have never understood this.

Here are the two term party presidencies of the last 50 years. Look at how badly the majority of them turned out for the ruling party.

1952-1960 Eisenhower (Nixon attempts win a 3rd term for the GOP. He loses a close election to Kennedy.)

1960-1968-LBJ/JFK ( (JFK assassinated in 1963. LBJ does not seek a second term. Low approval ratings. Vietnam War is out of control)

1968-1976-Nixon/Ford (Nixon is impeached from office. Ford seeks re-election but loses to Carter)

1980-1988- Reagan (Reagan has a 51% Gallup approval rating in October 1988. Bush is elected. GOP holds WH for 12 years.

1992-2000-Clinton (Clinton has a 57% Gallup approval rating. But he is dogged by impeachment and Monica scandal. Dems lose WH in close election.

2000-2008-Bush (Bush loses a major city to a flood/Katrina 2006. Two wars escalate out of control. Economy collapses. Bush's Gallup approval rating is 27%. GOP loses WH.

2008-2016 Obama (Obama has a 57% Gallup approval rating. Dems hold WH for 3rd term.)

Only 3 Presidents in American history have served more than 2 terms in office and have had their party hold the WH for a 3rd term.
