Abstract
The Republican party was fractured and in tatters. Warring factions could barely decide the most important issues of the day, let along rally around a candidate.

America was faced with deciding between two candidates plagued by scandal. And a man from Adams County was not above trying to stir up even more trouble. [excerpt]
