As much as I hate to, I am going to vote for Franklin D. Roosevelt.
It's a shame that the Democrats have started this aggressive campaign to get rid of the current president, when there's plenty of dead wood left that should be culled first.
That's what I've been saying all along. Hell, I wanted people to vote for James Garfield, but almost no one did. g partisanship. If you people don't grow up, someone like Harrison is going to win.
That's what I'm afraid of - that we'll eliminate all the good choices because they're controversial, and can attract enough opposition to eliminate them at this relatively early stage.
The only reason I voted for LBJ was because the Democrats were voting for W, and it was the only way to save him at this stage.
I could well support a Democrat at the end. My sense of partisanship fades the further back in history we go.
The only reason I voted FDR this round is because voting for him was the only chance to save W. I don't necessarily oppose his elimination at some point, but I think it's crazy to be voting off recent presidents, for whom we don't have a good historical perspective, when there's still so much dead wood left.
Ideally, I'd like to see the consequential presidents go head-to-head after the dead wood has been cleared out. But at the rate we're going, there won't be anybody good left after a few more rounds.
If the Democrats really want to eliminate a Republican, Nixon would be a better choice, and he's highly comparable to LBJ in certain ways.
