NeoElfboy 06/27/17 10:31:01 AM #10:	How badly would Eisenhower be dominating if the poll's window was extended slightly. EmDubyaSee posted... Kenri posted... God. None of the above. Probably HW I guess. It's definitely not Reagan or W. Reagan is by every metric (except salty liberal who thinks the Roosevelts were anything except trash) the best Preident since the damn surrender at Appomattox. Man what. The Roosevelts (especially FDR) both consistently score very highly in bipartisan ratings of presidents; FDR is almost invariavly top three in particular. FDR was responsible for a lot of what made America arguably the world's greatest country post-WW2 (it certainly wasn't Coolidge or Hoover!); the only people who would class him as trash are extreme conservatives who believe that all government is evil. Anyway I voted for Nixon, despite Watergate. Policy-wise he is one of the most obviously positive presidents in the group. Watergate is totally a valid reason not to vote for him, though. At which point... Ford and HW both fall into a group of "decent human being, generally neutral presidents" which I guess is the next best. Reagan was a principled leader who helped bring about the end of the Cold War but trickle-down economics is basically a big failure that continues to hurt America today (although to his credit he had the decency to realise a mistake and backpedaled on it somewhat, which I feel many of his disciples would never do).

He has a cult following that believes he was the best thing to happen to America. And at this point, I'm starting to think this "cult" is literal, not an analogy. Even with factual proof of the harm he's caused to America and Americans, people still worship him like he was the second coming of Jesus.
