There have been four assassinations of presidents in American history, and every one of them has aided the Democrats.
This is not to say that the Democrat party engineered the assassinations for its own advantage, but nevertheless, it's true: each time a president has been killed, the Democrats were the beneficiaries.
As Rating America's Presidents explains, President Andrew Johnson opposed the enfranchisement and equality of rights of blacks.
The Democrats benefited again on July 2, 1881, when a deranged man named Charles Guiteau stepped up behind President James A. Garfield and fired his gun twice, hitting him in the back and arm.
Guiteau cried out, "I am a Stalwart and now Arthur is President!" Arthur was Chester A. Arthur, who had been awarded the Republicans' vice presidential spot in order to balance the ticket.
Republican Party bosses, notably McKinley's chief backer, Ohio Senator and Republican National Committee Chairman Mark Hanna, thought Vice President Theodore Roosevelt was a reckless radical.
Democrat party leader and thrice-failed presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan charged Roosevelt and the "Progressives" with stealing ideas from the Democrat program.
