"Trump debuts in last place in political scientists’ “Presidential Greatness Rankings”


"...a group of more than 170 scholars from the American Political Science Association released a survey today (on Presidents’ Day, the national holiday celebrating those who have held the office), which aims to calculate the “greatness” of every US president. Trump debuted in last place..."


Of the 44 men who have served as President of the USA, Trump is rated as the worst.

Worse than Grant.
Worse than Harding and Harrison.


He is a man unfit to be President.

As one of the five worst presidents in US history. Down there with Harding and Filmore.

I also predict that they will give an analysis of the 2016 primaries that would be wildly unpopular today.

That survey is a year old. It has been discussed a great deal already.

For me the most notable thing about it is that even the Republican scholars put in him the bottom five.

Trump created a new level in the rankings. He found the sub-basement of the sub-basement.

Trump shows every sign of screaming past James Buchanan to the very bottom of the list.

Notice none of us need many keystrokes to answer this question. its just too easy.

As a guy who was not allowed so much as one day to prove himself on the job, as America was coming apart and as the West was dying.

Let the rationalizations and pity parties begin. Sorry...won't wash.

ouhhhhhhh.....I'm hurt! It will be a dark day when I give a rats behind what you think of me.

Your "You dont agree with me so you suck and it is just fine if I am mean to you because YOU SUCK!" tone sucks.

I bet that bad education came from a reputable school too.

That Sucks.

That won't wash either. I simply commented that rationalizations and pity parties for Lame Duck Don won't wash. You claimed I was out of my lane. So, sorry....that won't wash either.

You made the initial second person singular comment in the thread. I didn't.

He's an illustration of Washington's warning.

George Washington said:
They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common counsels and modified by mutual interests.

However combinations or associations of the above description may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.

It seems there is always a small population of pin heads in this country who get taken by con men. Even when the con man is exposed to be a total fraud they fight harder to defend.

Historians will not be kind to Trump.

So a group of progressives make a.list of their favorite presidents and you think its significant that they listed Trump as their least favorite.
