Richard Nixon. Twice elected President of the United States from humble origins in 1968 and 1972. The second time in a landslide after previously narrowly losing the 1960 Presidential election (a great comeback) and also losing the gubernatorial election in California.

Detente. Nixon goes to China.

Having won two elections he still thought everyone was out to get him and hired a bunch of morons to break into the watergate complex to spy on his well meaning but rather inept political rivals. Having done that he says goofy things like he's not a crook and lies about it. He is so paranoid is actually tapes much of what goes on in the White House as he's so worried about future biographies by people like Henry Kissinger putting forward a different version of events from the one he sees.

Ted Heath February 1974 calling an election and declaring Who Governs Britain? Not you mate.

1923 Stanley Baldwin takes over from Bonar Law, one of the least able and least well know Prime Ministers of all time. Calls an election and leads to the first Labour government ever (Baldwin came back to be PM on two subsequent occasions, probably in stark contrast to Theresa May).

Fernando Alonso is having a nightmare at McLaren. He is regarded as one of the best but can't score a single point.
Such a wasted talent.
