Happy Sunday! This week's Tightrope brainbuster managed to stump nearly two-thirds of quiz-takers:
During his reelection campaign, which U.S. president ran against George B. McClellan, a general he had fired two years earlier?
A. George Washington
B. Gerald Ford
C. Abraham Lincoln
D. Theodore Roosevelt
McClellan was fired for failing to pursue a retreating enemy. His inadequacy on the battlefield was matched at the ballot box. The former general carried only three states, while the president in question won the rest, including the newly minted state of West Virginia.
