Twice we have followed you, and twice you led us down the road to defeat. We shall not follow you a third time. An Alan supporter, you think? Nope. This was the Republican nominating convention in 1952 and the speaker was Senator Everett Dirkson and the target of his remarks was two time Republican nominee Tom Dewey, who had lost the Presidency twice, to FDR and then Truman and was seeking a third nomination. As historian Richard Norton Smith describes it, The place went wild , booing, hissing and cheering. The Republicans went on to nominate newcomer Dwight Eisenhower and he went on to win in November, 1952 and to serve two terms as President of United States.
