Presidential Scholars rank the greatest Presidents of all time

"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.

Yeah, sure NIxon was great too.

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

“obozo” was a community organizer that never had a real job….

“obozo” was our first affirmative action President…

Only delusional ignorant fools like yourself supported him……

He could have been a great President had he not been a

Socialist muslim loving racist with a

Chip on his Shoulder for America……

“obozo” went to a RACIST church for 20 years…

“obozo” hung out with the likes of louise ferry con

and reverend wrong…………..

You Tards have no idea how very misguided you are to support his ilk….

You are all Fools…………..

The Great Obama rose from humble beginnings to a historic Presidential victory. He rescued his country from a pending Depression, saved the banks and auto companies, passed Obamacare and gave healthcare to tens of millions, created 13 million jobs, nearly tripled the stock market, killed Bin Laden

Not too shabby for a community organizer

You are insane......

History agrees with me

That is why the Great Obama is ranked number eight all time

He is ranked #8 because the Political Scientists in this group of 170 lean towards the Democrats. If you had a more equal distribution of Political Scientists in terms of political bias or party registration, the results would be different.

Yet Republicans like Ike and Reagan are highly rated by the same historians and political scientists

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.

Republicans of 2016 should have learned from Republicans of 1912, when a bombastic candidate from New York criticized as an egomaniac, walked into the party convention with a commanding lead of primary delegates. The Party decided they didn't like his politics so they ignored the primary results and nominated the Establishment guy from Ohio.

The spurned candidate ran his own party and drove the Establishment Republican to third place allowing a terrible Democrat into office, so the Republicans lost the election but won the war, when that terrible Democrat became so despised that when he left office the next Republican swept into office with the biggest landslide ever.

(the players: Teddy Roosevelt; William Howard Taft; Woodrow Wilson; Warren Harding)

So in 1912 they chose principle over power, suffered a momentary setback and came back strong, while in 2016 they chose the opposite, power over principle. History will eventually settle what the consequences of each were.

Not even close to what actually happened

TR was put in as VP to McKinley to shut him up and give him a do nothing Job
When McKinley was assasinated, TR became President
TR decided not to run and pushed for Taft
It wasn’t till Bull Moose that TR broke from the party

That's what I just described. That's why it said "1912".

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

12 out of 100 is pretty high for his performance.

Trump still has some time to go, give him time.
