no shock that Democrats think these presidents were bad presidents.
Golly gee, who were the others??
The two friggin Bushes.
No Coolidge?
“majority of Democrats name Barack Obama”
But they can’t give 3 specific reasons “why?” other than the malanin thing . . .
News media were probably flummoxed that Clinton and Obama were off the list.
sometimes we hear reports that historians have rank ordered all the presidents. These rankings all depend on the criteria used to evaluate the historic impact of a president. FDR is often near the top of such lists, because of his being president during the depression and World War II.
Some rankings show President Hoover near the bottom, for his allegedly causing the depression.
I think we all know that events are much more complex, than saying Hoover caused a depression, and that FDR ended it. But people’s perceptions are often based on very simplistic criteria.
Dat me.
Ditto.
No kidding.
On the dem side today, they are all ‘Rats. 100%.
However, Republicans generally look poorly at JFK. I think this will be soon changing for the positive, due to some of JFK’s views:
There is the “Rip the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds”. Then, there is JFK’s EO 11110, directing Treasury to create real money (LBJ shredded that one soon after the murder).
IMO, we’ve only had three good presidents since 1900:
1. Reagan & Trump (tied for first)
3. Cool Cal Coolidge who believed individual freedom and private business, not government ran the show in America.
Best Republican Presidents in my lifetime which started in 1971.
1) Trump and Reagan
2) Nixon
The rest are Ford, Bush, and Bush.(Who cares about the order)
Indeed.
DeSanctimonious Online Influencers are Sad over this!
I would rank Trump higher if he did not botch the handling of the coronavirus pandemic. His judgment isn’t too bad but he messed up the political aspect of it. That’s why Joe Biden is the POTUS today.
37% are delusional.
;-)
Though honestly in that short span I don’t know how I could put Bush I and II above Trump.
Stay out of the Bushes.
Neither of them hold a candle to Calvin Coolidge and James Madison
Are we viewing presidents through partisan political lenses, or are we viewing them based on their handling and impact on historic events? Or some combination?
