I am reading through the Lincoln part of Michael Medved's book on America.....The American Miracle....he relates through his research how the governing class at the time called Lincoln all sorts of names...including buffoon and ape.....and these were his own people....they hated the fact that he came almost from nowhere to capture the Presidency.....the hate for him was real.....and the same as the hate you see for Trump.....
Even McClellan, his general wrote to his wife about how he couldn't stand Lincoln....a General who couldn't fight the democrats on the battlefield .......and allowed the democrats to kick his ass in just about every battle....
And then Lincoln led the country through the worst event in our history, when the democrats tried to separate from the Union so they could keep blacks as slaves.....
The first Republican President, fighting his own party and fighting the democrats both in the North and the South......
Eerily familiar....

This is what Lincoln had to deal with...
McClellan snubs Lincoln - Nov 13, 1861 - HISTORY.com
On this day in 1861, President Abraham Lincoln pays a late night visit to General George McClellan, who Lincoln had recently named general in chief of the Union army. The general retired to his chambers before speaking with the president.
This was the most famous example of McClellanâs cavalier disregard for the presidentâs authority. Lincoln had tapped McClellan to head the Army of the PotomacââŹâthe main Union army in the EastââŹâin July 1861 after the disastrous Union defeat at the First Battle of Bull Run, Virginia. McClellan immediately began to build an effective army, and was elevated to general in chief after Winfield Scott resignedthat fall.
Does this sound like too many republicans today.....
McClellan drew praise for his military initiatives but quickly developed a reputation for his arrogance and contempt toward the political leaders in Washington, D.C. After being named to the top army post, McClellan began openly associating with Democratic leaders in Congress and showing his disregard for the Republican administration.
To his wife,McClellan wrote that Lincoln was ânothing more than a well-meaning baboon,â and Secretary of State William Seward was an âincompetent little puppy.â
Glad you're finally reading something besides this board.
But you're really into spinning a fantasy inside that mini-cranium of yours.
Look at some of the names Bush was called:
- Dumbo - implying that Bush is an idiot
- Dumbya - hybrid of Dumbo and Dubya
- Shrubya - hybrid of Shrub and Dubya
- Gush - coupled with "Bore" in descriptions of Election 2000 as the "Gush and Bore election", juxtaposing his surname spooneristically with that of Al Gore (whose only two nicknames, by marked contrast, are Al Bore and Al Snore)
- Bushitler - used by his most extreme opponents to express hatred towards the US president and to liken him to Adolf Hitler.
