The election of 1800
Can we get back to politics?
Please?
Yo!Ev'ry action has an equal,opposite reaction.
John Adams shat the bed.I love the guy,but he is in traction.
Poor Alexander Hamilton?He's missing in action.
So now I'm facing-
Aarron Burr!
With his own faction.
He's very atractive in the North.New Yorkers like his chances.
He's not very forthcoming on any particular stances.
Ask him a question:it glances off,he obfuscates,he dances.
And they say I'm a Francophile:at least they know I know where France is!
Thomas that's the problem,see,they see Burr as a less extreme you.
Ha!
You need to change course,a key endorsement might redeem you.
Who did you have in mind?
Don't laugh.
Who is it?
You used to work on the same staff.
Whaaaaaat?
It might be nice,it might be nice to get Hamilton on your side.
It might be nice,it might be nice to get Hamilton on your side.
Talk less(Burr!)
Smile more!(Burr!)
Don't let'em know what you are against or what you are for!(Burr!)
Shake hands with him!(Burr!)
Charm her!(Burr!)
It's eighteen hundred,ladies,tell your hasbands:vote for Burr!(Burr!)
I don't like Adams.
Well,he's gonna lose,that's just defeatist.
And Jefferson-
In love with France!
Yeah,he's o elitist!
I like that Aaron Burr!
I can't believe we're here with him!
He seems approachable....?
Like you could grab a beer with him!
Dear Mr.Hamilton:you fellow Fed'relists would like to know how you'll be voting.
It's quiet uptown.
Dear Mr.Hamilton:John Adams doesn't stand a chance,so who are you promoting?
It's quiet uptown.
Jefferson or Burr?(Jefferson or Burr We know it's lose-lose)
We know it's lose-lose Jefferson or Burr?(Jefferson or Burr?But if you had to choose)
But if you had to choose.
Dear Mr.Hamilton:(Jefferson or Burr Jefferson or Burr!)
John Adams doesn't stand a chance so who are you promoting?But if you had to choose(we know it's lose-lose.we know it's lose-loseJefferson or Burr.Jefferson or Burr.But if you had to chooseBut if you had to choose)
Well!if it isn't Aaron Burr.Sir!
Alexander!
You've created quite a stir,sir!
I'm going door to door!
You're openly campaigning?
Sure!
That's new!
Honestly,it's kind of draining.
Burr-
Sir!
Is there anything you wouldn't do?
No.I'mchasing what I want.And you know what?!
What?
I learned that from you.
If you had to choose
If you had to choose
It's a tie!
If you had to choose
If you had to choose
It's up to the delegates!
If you had to choose
If you had to choose
It's up to Hamilton!

YO!
Oh!
The people are asking to hear my voice.
Oh!
For the country is facing a difficult choice.
Oh!
And if you were to ask me who I'd promote-
Oh!
-Jefferson has my vote!
Oh!
I have never agreed with Jefferson once!
Oh!
We have fought on like seventy-five diff'rent fronts.
Oh!
But when all is said and all is done,Jefferson has beliefs.Burr has none.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
Well,I'be damned
Well,I'be damned
Hamilton's on your side
Well,I'be damned
Well,I'be damned
And?
You won in a landslide.
Congrats on a race well-run，I did give you a fight.
Uh-huh
I look forward to our partership.
Our partnership?
As you vice-Prisident.
Ha,Yeah,Right!
You hear this guy?Man openly campaigns against me,talkin'bout,I look forward to our partnership?
It's crazy that the guy who comes in second gets to be vice Preisident.
Yeah,you know what?We can change that.
You know why?
Why?
'Cuz I'm President. Hey, Burr,when you see Hamilton,thank him for the endorsement!'
