Answer by lonely only
Here is a creative idea that I wrote when I was part of the planning committee for the Sesquicentennial of President Grover Cleveland's birth in 1987 (1837 - 1908) in Caldwell, NJ.
As we know, the first 'presidential debates' were televised in 1960, and have become standard fare since 1976.
Also, as you may, or may not know, when President Cleveland ran for re-election in 1888, he actually won the popular vote, but lost the electoral vote. Therefore, he lost the presidency. On their last day in the White House, his wife Frances told the White House staff and servants to 'Take good care of the mansion for we are coming back just four years from today." They did just that. Cleveland is the only presidnet to serve two non-consecutive terms.
My idea, back in 1987, was to create a debate dialogue between the two candidates, the incumbent and the challenger, Benjamin Harrison, and discuss, from their respective party platforms, the issues of 1888.
And, stage a debate as it might have been, had it actually taken place.
By the end of the program, you could clearly see that the issues favored Cleveland, but, as I said, he lost the Electoral Vote. I had everyone in period costume.
And, had the popular vote and electoral college map with the final results as part of my display.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me.
