With apologies to Lincoln Fan Mark Levin: I agree that Lincoln is badly overrated (via martyrdom plus the fact that the victors in war write the history books).

General McClellan actually bested Lincoln among Union Army voters in the 1864 election. (Grant was widely regarded as the butcher of his own troops.)

(That is beside the point of my little essay, however, crz. I am concerned about electability of a candidate. I think Trump has irreversibility ostracized the historical base of Republican support.)

(Grant was widely regarded as the butcher of his own troops.) Another mistaken historical fact. Grant was the greatest strategic mind ever to grace this countries military. Before Grant was appointed the supreme commander of the union forces, There were several battles fought that added to the total of killed that had nothing at all to do with US Grant. As for McClellan, he was the worst of the worst as general. A total disaster and I would hasten to say, a GD COWARD. As to Trump. I hope he continues on course to destroy the "REPUBLICAN" party, since it no longer is to which its name comes from-republican form of government.
