A spectacular headline fail from Slate - "Will Donald Trump Be FDR or Jimmy Carter?

[NRaleighLiberal]

In my opinion, anyway.

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2017/01/will_donald_trump_be_fdr_or_jimmy_carter.html

Read the article if you wish - but there is no way, to my thinking, that malevolent name should ever be in the same sentence as two truly great people.

1. More like Benito Mussolini to my way of thinking.

[pscot]

2. i was thinking Gaius Marius

who put the Roman Republic on a slippery slope.

[StevieM]

8. And Mike Pence is like Francisco Franco, the fascist dictator of Spain. (eom)

[liberal N proud]

3. Combination of Nixon, Reagan and Cheney

There will be wars, corruption and recession with this fuck pretending to be President.

[Blanks]

4. Richard Nixon, William Henry Harrison...

Maybe Benjamin Harrison. There are several ways it could go.

[bowens43]

5. If he could be like either one I would be extremely relieved......

unfortunately, nixon, hitler and sadam are more likely

[Freddie]

6. Warren G. Harding

A useless blowhard enmeshed in scandals. Maybe he can father a love child in a White House closet too.
The best outcome would be William Henry Harrison, dead after 31 days in office.

7. Pray for rain

during the inauguration.

9. Betteridge's Law of Headlines applies here

Betteridge's law of headlines is one name for an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." It is named after Ian Betteridge, a British technology journalist,[1][2] although the principle is much older.
