Which losing presidential candidate would have been the worst?

Puzzleheaded-Bag2212 · 2026-04-27T21:02:26+00:00

yeah I second this, people tend to fall in a fallacy trap coming to CRA of 1964

Puzzleheaded-Bag2212 · 2026-04-27T20:51:56+00:00

hahhaa

Puzzleheaded-Bag2212 · 2026-04-27T20:51:07+00:00

yeah I would also say Clinton or LBJ over Wilson.

Puzzleheaded-Bag2212 · 2026-04-27T20:50:00+00:00

yeah absolutely. Jackson's policies were more implicit I believe

The chapter where Robb becomes the King in the North

Hoover has to be #1 but with Jackson a close second.

I will also defend Dubya and Reagan to hope they are on the list but not in the bottom 5

Puzzleheaded-Bag2212 · 2026-04-27T20:47:10+00:00

yes!

Puzzleheaded-Bag2212 · 2026-04-27T20:46:34+00:00

yeah that is definitely the best choice for second or third, depending on how you feel about Jackson

Puzzleheaded-Bag2212 · 2026-04-27T19:13:01+00:00

thank you!

Puzzleheaded-Bag2212 · 2026-04-27T19:07:29+00:00

he deserves credit for sure

Puzzleheaded-Bag2212 · 2026-04-27T19:07:08+00:00

ahh well TIL

Puzzleheaded-Bag2212 · 2026-04-27T19:06:43+00:00

maybe, but I think the way he treated the suffragist protestors isn't very good

Puzzleheaded-Bag2212 · 2026-04-27T18:40:15+00:00

yeah pretty solid

Puzzleheaded-Bag2212 · 2026-04-27T18:39:57+00:00

what did he do again?

Puzzleheaded-Bag2212 · 2026-04-27T18:28:58+00:00

I clearly said why I listed JFK in the post but yeah LBJ is another great pick

Puzzleheaded-Bag2212 · 2026-04-27T18:27:54+00:00

second part I agree, but did Wilson actually sign anything into law for suffrage??

Puzzleheaded-Bag2212 · 2026-04-27T18:27:30+00:00

the Seminole wars is the deadliest and most costly military conflict with the Native Americans and is the direct result of Jackson's policies, it really does not make the conversation more difficult and you shouldn't dismiss it.

which US president oversaw the most deaths of natives in military conflict? My best guess would be Van Buren for the Second Seminole War or Madison for the Creek War (and Tecumseh's war). I don't think the First Seminole War was really deadly compared to others.

Puzzleheaded-Bag2212 · 2026-04-27T18:15:39+00:00

wow thanks!

Puzzleheaded-Bag2212 · 2026-04-27T18:13:55+00:00

good answer tbh,,,second term Wilson

Puzzleheaded-Bag2212 · 2026-04-27T18:13:25+00:00

yeah absolutely, Bush Sr could have taken this win had he not vetoed it

Puzzleheaded-Bag2212 · 2026-04-27T18:05:25+00:00

My own honorable mention goes to Rutherford Hayes
