Worst Democrat - Carter
Worst Republican - Nixon (I know some here think he was great but I don’t)
Easy question. Make it harder next time.

Carter's ineptitude earns him the privilege of a distinction all his own in the annals of US Presidential history in being the worst of them all, Democrat or Republican.
Whatever scorn history will heap on Richard Nixon, I say unapologetically, he was still a heck of a better President than Carter could ever be.

I would replace Nixon with Bush. He’s giving the Country away as fast as he possibly can......Illgal Aliens, Amnesty, Law of the Sea Treaty, NAU, International Thouroughfares, Mexican trucks, Dubai Port deals and the list goes on and on.
Not to mention persecution of Law enforcement (ex. Ramos and Compean of the USBP) and Marines and some Army personnel (See Haditha, etc.)
Now he’s even starting to agree with Algore on man made “Global Warming”.

A Soldier and Young Republican, at the time, I too, thought he was great.
...until the tapes were exposed.
I was depressed and angry for weeks. I got into a fight with a neighbor who had a sign in his front yard (that I ripped out) it said: Dick Dick, before Dick dicks you.
That was an ugly, and heartbreaking, time for me...for all of us. Yeah, Nixon left a mark.
But, I'll tell ya', I was glued to my radio every night at 6 pm for the AFRTS special. And that was the first time I had heard of FRed Thompson.
So, ya' see? Good does come from bad. LOL

Worst Republican may have been Teddy Roosevelt. He was a full-throated "progressive" as they called big-government nanny-staters back then. We still live with the legacy of welfarism he encouraged and began. Plus, in 1912 Roosevelt ran third party, took so many votes from Taft that Woodrow Wilson won, giving us not only WW I but the precedent of international meddling and nation building.
Nixon was a heroic Cold Warrior who ran right but governed as a centrist. But for Watergate, he would be ranked very highly by objective historians (if you could find them.)
