I give him an 8.5 out of 10 for his role in the party. He has a rare opportunity to change the course of history henceforth, being a political outsider and wild card, but unlike someone like Carly Fiorina, Rand Paul, or Ted Cruz, he flat-out sucks at getting the GOP establishment to consider him their leader. Tax cuts, immigration reform, health insurance restructuring, and being on better terms with world leaders who would otherwise be a threat to our security as a world power are all key issues that convinced me to vote Republican in the end, and I really don't care about irrelevant rhetoric such as the fact that he once had his own reality TV show or may have been unfaithful to a prior wife, because none of these affect his abilities as the head of the State.

7/10. Better than Barry / Bush Jr / Clinton / Bush Sr. Not in the same league as someone like JFK obviously.


Kennedy was overrated. Many of his policies were for personal gain and he was the textbook definition of a lobbyist, only really focusing on issues that would otherwise either result in international catastrophe, or personal loss. He was a shoe-in for the election, though, considering he beat out Nixon in the pre-Johnson era and Harry F. Byrd. I don't usually play the racism card, but I think we can agree someone like Byrd has no place in free world politics. Thank God the Klan was fawning over him, though. The early 60s were not the right decade for Nixon, who would have probably won if some of the Kennedy family's secret dealings had been made apparent.

Now if you want to see a real leader at work, just look at Dwight Eisenhower. A would-have-been WWI soldier who got his second chance at glory in WWII, and then used military force to ensure that school desegregation laws were enforced. We're still seeing the results of his work in NATO to this day.


Eisenhower is amazing too. I think both of them are amazing presidents for different reasons. Some of JFK's speeches are unparalleled in the modern day for example.
