And in 1924 he was the President so his record as President is more important

"opposed child labor" is the opposite of "opposed child labor laws". Davis also opposed mining safetly laws.

You can’t make ARGUMENTS for certain years, but the answer is MUCH closer to “never” than it is a magical “turning point” ... including 1896.

Really? Cleveland was pretty clearly to the right of Harrison in 1888/1892.
On what issues?

So the president who appointed Stephen Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the Supreme Court is more conservative than Bob Dole (you know, the guy who even somehow supported Donald Trump in 2016 despite carrying Fairfax County in 1996!) because he did well in the rural South and WV? Man, you always learn something new on Atlas.
Who are you responding to? I've never heard anyone argue that Clinton was to the right of Dole.

Michele Bachmann voted for Carter in 1976, but I suppose she could be a "religion first" voter.
