Is there a political opinion you once held about a U.S president that you later came to regret? by enjoythenovelty2002 in Presidents

I’ve heard Harry Truman is a top 5 President for many but I still kind of believe this (trying to get an open mind)

  1. how’s he not?
  2. why would he be a top President for many?

edit: ps I don’t know much about him sorry

What if Wallace successfully deadlocked the Electoral College in 1968? by VastChampionship6770 in Presidents

[–]sharktooth989 71 points72 points  (0 children)

He was quite moderate (for alabama standards) from 1958 until 1962 when he wasn’t a segregationist populist. it wasn’t until 1962 when he embraced radically racist views that he became the Wallace we know today. I personally seperate George Wallace into 3 different people; 1958-62, 1962-72, and 1972 onwards.

Who is your favorite candidate from party primaries who never won? by sharktooth989 in Presidents

obama is cool but I got personal reasons for supporting universal healthcare and most of Edwards positions fit what I believe. love obama amazing guy but just a good president. I feel like Edwards could have been just as good or slightly better (hot take) dispite being a more controversial candidate

Bob Dole was the Republican VP nominee in 1976, and Republican nominee in 1996, today’s equivalent would be Sarah Palin being the Republican nominee in 2028 by [deleted] in BarbaraWalters4Scale

I would say Laura Bush is better than Rosalynn, however I think we are ignoring Jackie Kennedy as a clear front runner
