Why are so many people impressed with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton? She couldn't beat a neophyte, rookie senator rated as the most liberal man in the senate. Even more liberal that socialist Bernie Sanders! A man who has never held a real job!

Warren G. Harding may have been incompetent, as historians like to say, but he certainly attracted more loyal help.

Albert Fall was loyal? What would disloyal look like?

I was so stupid when I was in school. Why oh why didn’t I pay more attention in my history classes. I surely do regret that now.

Democrats are a less forgiving lot than Republicans when it comes to sticking with leaders who drove them off a cliff

Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize and has been hailed for years as "the greatest ex-President".

Ted Kennedy literally drove someone off a bridge, yet remained "the Lion Of The Senate" until his dying day.

Trent Lott wished an old guy happy birthday and his own party ran him out of town on a rail.

First and maybe last: I am sick to death of comparisons to President Reagan in any manner!

obama 's name should not be mentioned in the same sentence with President Reagan's!

obama is uniquely unqualified and it follows that his administration from Hell is falling apart. It's incompetent, too, in a capitalist society. It's filled with Marxists.

Good post as always 2ndDV.

Don’t be too hard on Hillary(!).

I remember seeing an Obama tee-shirt, very shortly after the election, and thinking “we could never have beaten that”.

And really, Hillary was running on her hubby’s coattails, that was always a little Evita Peron for most people.

But Obama’s rise was a mania, built upon Bush derangement syndrome, fanned by the MSM in full swoon, and hopefully NEVER TO BE REPEATED.

It is very easy to understand why he has fallen so hard, so fast, just like a pricked balloon.

Maybe it was God’s grace that the big O won, arguably nobody since Lincoln has done more for the Republican party.

But here is a question...the author writes “On the other side of the partisan ledger, Bill Clinton remains the only Democratic president elected after World War II to win re-election. Truman, Johnson, and Carter were undone in part by vigorous efforts within their own party to “dump” them...”

I thought Truman WAS re-elected (famous headline and all that), did he not run for a full second term? Bowed out to, who, Stevenson? Who lost to Ike? I could look this up, I realize, but I hope some freeper will explain it to me with context.

Thanks if anyone does!

No former President has pissed away the future of our children and grandchildren the way this disgusting piece of excrement has.It may be years before we get this once great country back on track to greatness.Mad does not even begin to describe how pissed I am.

At least Warren Harding knew how to get us OUT of a depression.

It was unfair what they did to Lott, but it was sure sweet to see him go.

Great piece.

I think if you ask any of the PUMA’s they’ll tell you that the fix was in on him and that she wasn’t allowed to succeed. Of course, dhimmicrats lousy losers (and lousy winners, too!)

Hey Zer0, keep blaming everyone else for the nation's difficulties.

The foreign occupier is a menace to our nation and damn near everyone living here. He's a narcissist, who feels nothing for anyone. He is just about 'words,' and the drones will willingly follow him over a cliff.

This Nov 2nd will be a start in ending his war on the sensible people of the nation. Let him crack up. Give him a medical discharge! But, one way or another, it's time to end the experiment brought on by the piss-steam media and the Bush derangement crowd.

Truman was not re-elected. His first election came int 1948 when he had been in office for three years already as FDR’s ex VP.

Harding and Coolidge served in an era when it was understood that Business left alone was what built America. Wilson and TR were an aberration and Hoover was the New Way which peaked with FDR and again with LBJ and yet again with the Kenyan. Reagan was a saving aberration.

0bama’s “loss in ratings” isn’t so much a loss in ratings; to me, it has all the characteristics of a machine running faster than its’ bearings can handle. It’s like an engine running at redline plus with an open oil plug in the bottom. Watching it, you know in your gut it’s just a matter of time before it seizes up and/or blows some piece of jagged metal out the side. Watching it, you know the least likely outcome is that it will just slow down and come to a gradual, peaceful stop. Not to my eye. This sucker is gonna explode somewhere.

My friend. Have you forgotten the LBJ Great Society measures that sent us speeding towards this bankruptcy. Obummer will need to complete his term to reach the destructive nature of that truly Marxist lowlife.
