Another ranking of the Presidents

[packman]

Who make up the Top 10 presidents on the Presidential Historians Survey? They are, in descending order: Lincoln, George Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Harry Truman, Thomas Jefferson, John F. Kennedy, Reagan, and Lyndon B. Johnson.

Obama followed Woodrow Wilson (at 11) but beat contemporaries Bill Clinton (15) and George W. Bush (33). He also bested James Monroe (13) and James Madison (17).


Article goes on to explain the rankings and has some rather interesting comments on the Presidents:

1. Reagan in the top 10? That actor who napped his way through Iran Contra and consipired with Iran

to keep hostages until after the election?

He's in the top 10?

The poll is invalid on its face.

2. James Buchanan, is in danger of losing his slot, to traitortrump - the #43,

bottom/worst spot.

3. oh if trump isn't the worst then the list is also invalid

[empedocles]

5. trump does seem like a lock for worst. All lists have not caught up to trump.

Made bottom 5 on 1 list I saw.

I prefer expert lists.
