Nixon too. Unless you're literally just talking about the very next election following their loss.


I was.

But yes Nixon works here too if you expand the definition a bit.

Nixon is unique though - he loses to Kennedy, loses a bid to be California Governor.

And then the Republican Party begins to shit itself after Goldwater gets creamed and looks for someone ANYONE associated with Eisenhower to get back to their good ole days...and there was Nixon, party elder, ready to step in .

But in general yeah, no one likes to nominate a loser.

Though its worth noting the Democrats nominated william Jennings Bryant like 4 times in a row in the 19th century, nothing quite like that has happened since where a party just renominated their old candidate.
