One thing we may know is that financial panics are very often followed by a change in party or at least, they often have electoral consequences

That certainly happened with the panic of 1837
如1837年的金融恐慌
Not quite as much as the panic of 1873, panic of 1893 definitely and of course 1929 absolutely
1873年的恐慌,令人印象深刻的1893年恐慌以及1929年的大萧条
Another thing we may note is that U.S. presidential campaigns have often been very vigorous if you will
可以发现的另一个规律是美国的总统竞选总是那么充满活力
One way to think about this is they used to be nasty brutish and short. Now they are nasty brutish and long
过去的竞选虽然不择手段但过程短暂,如今竞选不仅不择手段而且过程漫长
we'll look at it. Well, for example, today for all the problems we have
竞选过程究竟有多野蛮,举个例子,当今的大选再怎么激烈
We don't have partisans following candidates and hackling them with infantile little rhymes as happened in 1884
