Unexpected But Not Unprecedented: Upheavals in American Politics From 1856 to 2016
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are both historically unpopular as presidential nominees and were far from consensus choices. But despite the wild election season, its gyrations are not unprecedented. Shober will explore elections in American history where major parties were shaken by widespread voter unrest, especially 1856, 1892, 1932, 1968 and 2016. Notably, third parties are often part of the story, but so are anti-establishment candidates, corruption and sharp breaks in party values. What can we expect to happen to the American political system after 2016?
