Interview with Stan Haynes, Roosevelt to Roosevelt

Interview with Stan Haynes, Roosevelt to Roosevelt

Year(s) Discussed: 1904-1944

They happen every four years, but how much do you know about the history of presidential nominating conventions in the US? In this episode, I am joined by Stan Haynes to discuss his research into the history of nominating conventions in the first few decades of the 20th century. Beyond just the fascinating historical figures at play in the politics of the time, the changes in the structure of the conventions and how the candidates were chosen were pivotal to development of the modern American political structure.
