Reagan, obviously. Pleasantly surprised to see that Nixon isn't winning. With how awful this forum is about this type of thing, I'd expected Nixon to be far & away the leader. Ford in second is promising.

Dear Lord, people... The only thing worse than a left-winger defending Nixon is a left-winger defending Reagan.

Got it backwards there, dawg. The Nolan chart ain't the only way to judge a president.

Did more good than bad: George HW Bush, Gerald Ford

50-50: Nixon

Awful, awful Presidents: Dubya & Reagan

How so?

Where to begin?

Blowing up deficits and the debt, reckless deregulation of financial markets, gutting social welfare spending causing massive social carnage, handing us an unsustainable military-industrial complex, supporting genocidal terrorists and interfering in other country's affairs, and generally ruined America and the world  by pushing economic liberalism, the results of which we have seen over the past 33 years with the slow deathspiral of our cities, manufacturing base, and middle class.

Basically he began the destruction of America.

If that's all ya got on Reagan, why, pray tell, is Nixon ranked above him?

This Nixon fetishization is off the chain. Wake up, Sheeple. This isn't about ideology for Pete's sake. Regardless of your political views, once you read a full account of the Nixon presidency, you, as a hypothetically sane and decent person, would be disgusted. End of story. I wonder if the campus library has "Nixonland"...

This is far from paltry "corruption", my good man. He jerry-rigged the economy with short-term and disastrous policies for the sake of his re-election, while needlessly extending the VietnamWar for the same reason. And those are just the main points.
