That is the C-Span poll. They are talking about it on C-Span 3 right now. The Siena poll has Kennedy at 10, Obama at 17, Carter at 26, Bush at 33, and Trump at 42 (three up from the bottom). The general tendency is for Democrats to fall and Republicans to rise.
People forget how things were at the time and historians come to rely on things that are at odds with what people felt back then. Carter was at 33 in the first Siena poll when he had just left office and we had fewer presidents. Trump is better than GW Bush, but if he doesn't win reelection, he's sure to rate lower than Bush, because historians focus on procedural details that most people don't care about.
It must be incredibly comforting for Bammy, Holder, Lynch, Rice to know they have pigmentation immunity, that they are above the law forever.
VDH nails it...again...as always.
Some Presidents have fallen significantly in the last few decades, such as Andrew Jackson. He was ranked highly as the founder of the Democratic Party, but now greater weight is given to issues like his treatment of the American Indians (although the Trail of Tears occurred under Van Buren). Eisenhower, by contrast, has risen to #5--he used to be ranked much lower. Why William Henry Harrison is ranked at all makes no sense--he died after one month in office.
And Valerie Jarrett, un-elected bureaucrat, led our country for 8 years because Obama didnt know a damn thing about his officeI think we're going to find out she's the real evil behind all of this.
All of the others are guilty as sin too, but I think she's the master planner of it all.
Hard to believe the panty-waists at NR allow VDH articles to appear in their publication.Early on VDH was also a never-Trumper until he saw the light.
Can’t happen fast enough. NIGHTMARE!
...the panty-waists at NR...
________________________________________________
I never read NR, but the VDH article caused me to at least read the headlines on a series of other articles and I was surprised to find them, for the most part, honest.
You neglected to mention the IRS Scandal, The fast and furious scandal, Obama Care where they admitted of camera that they intentionally lied to get the bill passed.
The most corrupt and criminal president ever. What do you expect when you elect a foreigner that hates America.
VDH bump for later....
Nice post. And many of them have seen the error of their ways - good for them. The rest are still jerks.
Obama’s a hardcore leftist at heart and right now the country and world are hurtling toward totalitarianism at a speed we couldn’t have imagined less than six months ago.
Sure a few hard-won crumbs of the Obama admin have been given back, but his team is winning loaves and bread trucks and bakeries at a time now.
Don't forget, Rush was all in for Marco Rubio.
Trump has made a lot of people true believers.
p
Amen !
The historical imprint of the scandals can only be memorialized by high level prosecutions going all the way to the top.
Any imprint will leave a large permanent mark only if any of the charges rise to treason.
You're forgetting about gay bath houses.
