president Wallace was asked by a friend. Now that he was elected to a 2nd term what would he do in this 2nd term. his reply.."The same damn thing I tried to do in my first..win that dumb war!: world war 2 had taken up much of Wallace"s presidency he often wondered what if Coolidge had not ran for 2nd term or if FDR had won the 1932 election if he would of became president at a later president Wallace was contemplating breaking with tradition and running for third term. since third time was always the charm he always heard.
