Winning It BackRestoration Presidents and the Cycle of American Politics\nAuthor(s): David A. Crockett\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Cornell University Press, United States\nImprint: Cornell University Press\nISBN-13: 9781501784958, 978-1501784958\nSynopsis\nIn Winning It Back, David A. Crockett explores why presidents who promise to set things aright to \""restore\"" so often usher in the opposite.\n\nSince the earliest days of the United States, presidencies have seemingly unfolded in a cyclical manner, with features from prior eras recurring in later ones. Building on the idea of \""political time\"" that presidential terms fall within particular regime cycles Crockett shows that presidents often fall into one of two roles: opposition presidents and restoration presidents. Opposition presidents belong to the political party not representing the dominant governing philosophy of a specific political era for example, Republican presidents during the New Deal era ([url] Eisenhower, N.
