In 1832, he was defeated for the state legislature. Then he was elected in 1834. In 1838, he was defeated for speaker of the state house, He ran for congress in 1943 and, guess what, he was again defeated. In 1946 he was elected to congress only to be defeated in 1849. He ran for the United States Senate in 1855 and was defeated. Then in 1956, he was defeated for Vice-President of the United States of America. He ran again for the US Senate in 1858 and lost again.
And in 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected President of the United States of America - but only after eight major setbacks. Call that resilience .
