There are winners and there are losers - and there are the losers who lose and lose and lose, especially for Presidents. So we at DB Comedy thought, why not at least give them their snark? Join us as we take two episodes to fete the men who won nominations but lost the big prize - and we'll start with the three losers of the 19th and early 20th century: Henry Clay (lost four times), William Jennings Bryan (three), and Eugene V. Debs (FIVE times). Never was losing more fun than this - enjoy Part One!
