Yeah, well, he sold.

And I think that that probably happened later in his term because he became such a fixture.

I mean, the man held office longer than any other president has held office in American history.

And his legacy continued in many ways under Truman.

And the Democratic Party still looks towards FDR for inspiration in many ways.

He strung them along.

He kept everybody guessing until literally the last minute when you had a stage bandage convention, the voice from the sewers.

You know, it was a very different political environment than you have today.

He didn't know if he was going to run till the convention, till his speech at the convention.

And even then he said, I'm not running.

I don't want this job.

And then you get the voice from the sewers, you know, which is all prearranged where this loudspeaker comes up and says, we want FDR.

And the whole crowd goes wild.

And there he's got it.

But even the delegates didn't know what to do till then.

Yeah, thank you.

Great questions.
