Today President Buchanan sat up in his grave and thanked Trump. Why you ask?????????

By LISA MARIE SEGARRA 
February 19, 2018

President Donald Trump is not afraid to talk himself up – but presidential historians don’t think he’s so great.

Just in time for Presidents’ Day, a survey of 170 presidential historians puts Trump in dead last place – behind even James Buchanan, whom many historians blame for failing to stop the Civil War.

Presidents & Executive Politics Presidential Greatness survey, conducted by University of Houston professor Brandon Rottinghaus and Boise State University professor Justin S. Vaughn, polled current and recent members of the Presidents & Executive Politics Section of the American Political Science Association and asked them to grade each president.

Trump’s first time on the list knocked Buchanan out of last place. President Barack Obama jumped up ten places in rank since the last survey was conducted in 2014.

Ranking recent presidents

  • Donald Trump – 44th
  • Barack Obama – 8th
  • George W. Bush – 30th
  • Bill Clinton – 13th
  • George H.W. Bush – 17th
  • Ronald Reagan – 9th

Take off the blinders Harry.  The American national consensus has NEVER been represented on or by this forum!

Since they are comparing Trump, who has been in office just over a year, and other Presidents who served full or two terms, I think their assessments are a bit premature.  And polls are always suspicious because it depends on who you ask and how you word the question.

"a survey of 170 presidential historians puts Trump in dead last place" This was not a bunch of street iterviews by FOX. or CNN. Bogus not true...sad commentary. Just accept the fact that Trump has displaced the worst President...Buchanan. You are trying to elevate himby suggesting the result is bogus. Sorry Hound, it not bogus...just the opposite. I know the truth hurts when it comes to Trump. I too wish he could elevate himself from dead last.

a ranking within 20 years of term is useless. In 20 years Obama will be Dead last by majority of those same "Historians".

How do you think Lincoln would have ranked after his 1st year?

Nope most historians are busy rewriting history from a leftist prospective.  He will be elevated to #1 which basically means he is King Dog Squeeze.

 

I find it funny that these two idiots who love to quote polls which are constantly wrong bring in more polls to prove that they are head in the sand and arse up.  They say look it was done by a XYZ or by hundreds of "historians"  and we have thousands of climate scientists who run around screaming that we just have a few years to do something before we all die of floodwater.  Because polling is about as good as that "settled sience"  

 

ARch you like to toss out that this site is not a national consensus  - but I hate to tell you, it probably is a little more of a actual cross section of the USA then you would like to indicate.  While this site does not follow lock step with your thoughts or communist California/New York, I believe it does represent a good cross section.

A Forum of 98% Alabama Deplorables is NOT a cross section of the USA.

I have done some researching, something that I would recommend Fish and Archie get in the habit of doing, of the particular group of individuals who put out this report.  The leadership of this particular section are all faculty members of institutions of "higher learning". I could join this section if I wanted to pay the membership dues, and I never took a political science class in my whole academic career.  There were no "presidential historian" labels assigned to anyone who I was able to look up.  A few collegiate syllabi that I was able to pull up failed to mention "presidental historian" as the title of the lecturer.  In other words, this is simply a group of college faculty members with an interest in Presidential politics.  Hardly, imho, an esteemed group of presidential historians.  

Now, don't get me wrong....If this group had given DJT a first place ribbon, I still would have viewed this poll as bunk.  History judges individuals iwithin context of the social, religious, political climates existing at the time.  The only way to read any gradeschool poll such as this, would be to place each individual in the exact same context and then debate their strengths and weaknesses.  DJT has only been in office for 13 months for crying out loud, his body of work is not completed.  He should not have even been a choice in this worthless poll because other than sharing the title of president, he failed to meet any criteria for entrance based upon comparitive experiences of all presidents.

GFY - go educate yourself.  Look i can see your blue spot and archies over around Atlanta.  But DAMN thats a whole lotta red that is probably representative of most of the opinions that I have seen listed.

 

98% deplorable(red) 2% dingbat(you/arch)  Looks about right to me.

You are showing a red-blue by county and state NOT by population. Trump won more counties but LOST the popular vote by 3 million. Deplorables may agree with your posts but we all thank God there are fewer of them just more Deplorable counties. The bottom line is most of tthose who voted do not agree with your postions.

Dear God you are insane.  Trump won the electoral collage and that is the only part of "voting" that matters to that you brain dead lib.  

 

By your logic then the only people on this site count as they are the ones here that are "voting" their opinions in that they are posting information and that you and Archibald want to claim is not representative of the US and is only middle Alabama deplorables that are so ignorant?  You claim that based on population, you are right people because large population centers like California and NY did not vote for Trump ?  Son, I hate to tell you most of "those people" in California are so insane that they make you look conservative. 

I love how you claim that that every opinion must be lock step with yours and you must be right because trump lost the popular vote?  OMG, how stupid can you be, dont answer that, we already know the answer.  

I am pleased that the moronic vagina hats from NY and California do not agree with my opinion ( which seems to be where lots of Hillary votes came from ).  The sad part is that you agree with the vaginahats more often then not, which is a good look on you.  I believe it explains your personality.

Please tell your husband to run to the store and get you a whole case of snickers, because well just you are you and I am not sure if a factory load of snickers can fix your bitterness and insanity.

I did read it.  As CRD points out, they are just college professors with an interest in Presidential history.  And as I will contnue to point out to you, that they may all be democrats or liberals and it depends on how the question was worded.  And again I will point out to you that they are comparing a President with only a year in, with other Presidents that have served a full term or 2 terms.  If you can't see that it is illogical, then I'm sorry, I can't help you.  

I have noticed throughout this recent gun reaction, how many people just don't deal in logic.  They deal from emotion and they don't know what they are talking about.  They are not able to consider other points of view or other possible reasons why it happens.  they are not capable of independent thought.  Really, it is quite sad.

Not historians as previously reported.    Academics with Political Science degrees that were 57% Democrat to 13% Republican.  And this was from CNN, who I outright distrust in general, this morning.  Got to be careful Fish on just what you choose to hang your hat on lest your opinions be perceived as petulant and reactionary rather than based upon impartial reasoning.

CR, good point. I neglected to discuss political party of the responders as I thought it would just add fuel to the fire to also mention that  Trump didn’t even rank well among self-identified Republicans and conservatives, coming in 40th. Thanks for setting the record straight.
