Presidential Scholars rank the greatest Presidents of all time

What is the breakdown of the political parties that the 170 political scientist who made this list are apart of?

Don’t know..

Look at their list and point out where it favors one party over another

George W. Bush at #31 while Barack Obama at #8. That says it all right there.


That tells you it's Bull Shit you dumb ass tard.....

Hardly, Obama had a widely respected presidency while Bush was a disaster

Bush was re-elected President in 2004 and Obama followed Bush's lead in many of his policies with regards to Iraq, Afghanistan and defense spending. Bush's average approval rating for his whole time in office in the GALLUP poll is actually one point higher than Obama's.
Interesting point
After 9-11, Bush had unrivaled popular support from both parties. He had 86 percent approval as the people rallied around the President.
However, his poor decisions in invading Afghanistan and Iraq and a collapsing economy gave him an approval of 28 percent by the time he left office

Averages are like that
 
Historians will have a field day trying to explain to future generations what led America to electing a man as unsuited to be President as Donald J Trump
 
"Experts".....roflmao

They rated Ron Reagan number 10

Were they experts then?
Couldn't care less where they ranked uncle Ronny...That despotic warmongering tyrants like Wilson, FDR, LBJ, & Truman end up in the upper ranks of these lists -which they always do- disqualifies these "experts" as a matter of course.
With the exception of his blind partisan sycophants, everyone knows Trump is a failed and dreadful ‘president.’
"blind partisan"
Pot meet Kettle. Explain how Trump has been a failure.

How Trump has failed

Destroyed America’s alliances
Destroyed the global reputation of US
Shut down the Govt in a tantrum
Record debt
Destabilized our trade
Been under constant investigation and scandal

<sob>. But....but....What about Obama?
Doesn’t work like that pal

Obama had to rebuild our global alliances after the Bush debacle
Republicans shut down Government in an Obamacare tantrum
The Obama administration was scandal free
 
Who rates the "presidential scholars"? How does a president become "great"? Is it about the negligence that leads to war and then the pretend leadership that achieves victory at a terrible cost? If a president decoded to incarcerate American citizens without due process based on real or imagined racial bigotry would it keep him out of the top ten? Are the "presidential scholars" nothing but biased (mostly liberal) media types?

Absolutely scandal free including his staff
 
Not surprisingly, Trump came in dead last with a score of 12 out of 100

Experts rank the best U.S. presidents of all time

What a total joke that ranking is. I stopped reading when they ranked Calvin Coolidge at 29 and said that his tax cuts and spending restraint led to the Great Depression. What utter nonsense.

Obviously they weren't judging Trump by how well the economy has performed under him, or by the degree to which he has boosted military spending, or by his efforts to finally stop the flow of illegals and drugs across our border, or by his outstanding judicial appointments, or by his signing a large increase in the Earned Income Tax Credit to help lower-income families, etc., etc., etc.

Right, Trump is right up there with Washington, Lincoln, and Jesus Christ....

Just off the top of my head Fast and Furious, Benghazi, IRS, VA waiting lists, and Clinton's email server. People died because of some of these scandals.

Let’s look at it this way
Hoover was in office seven months when the stock market crashed. Not much he could have done to create such a massive collapse in so short a time.
That leaves us the policies of Coolidge.... deregulation, tax cuts and government neglect

None were criminal or resulted in any charges. Just because you don’t like policies or they were not successful does not make a scandal

Obviously you're not invested. What the economy has done under Rump thus far is, predictably, giant mood swings. Did we have a spike in 2017? Sure did. Since then ---- flatline at best. that is, after January 26 of last year when that artificially inflated market plummeted back to earth like a fake Time Magazine cover being exposed.

Lets see... Economy is slowing down but national debt still skyrocketing. Most economists say this will lead to a recession soon.

Military spending... 3.6% of GDP this year. Less than the average year under Obama still. Trump on pace now to be the 2nd lowest spending President on the US military since the start of WWII as a % of GDP.

the efforts to stop illegals and drugs. DEA and DHS says they are coming through ports and overstaying VISA's and no new policy there. Instead we get a wall where they aren't and Trump becomes the President with the highest number of illegal immigrants working for him in his private life. Illegal immigrant numbers fell more under Obama/Bush than Trump, with a slight uptick past couple years according to DHS.

Obama built more miles of border security in his first 2 years than Trump. I mean if this is Trumps accomplishment, by your own measure he falls behind Obama, Clinton, and Bush.

Judicial Appointments... yeah, every President ever has put in the appointments of people they want. This is literally doing his job.

Earned Income Tax Credit. Created in 1975 with the largest updates lowering taxes in 2001 and 2009.
 
With Trump, America has had a political education. I only hope the lessons have taken root in some voters minds. If not we may have to go through this again. Thank you Republicans for the lesson.

Don't count on it. The Republicans gave us Nixon and Agnew. Then Bush Jr. and Cheney. I won't even mention Palin.
