Top Presidents Review Part 1

Readers may recall that every so often I like to get a sense of how they rate the Presidents of the United States. This go-round, I am doing something a little different; I randomized the list and then cut them into sets of three. Each day I will ask you about two sets, in each set rank the presidents 1-2-3 within that set. Here are today's sets:

Set One
George Washington
Martin Van Buren
Richard Nixon


Set Two
Franklin Pierce
Lyndon Johnson
Andrew Jackson

  • Currently 3.1/5
  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
Rating: 3.1/5 (15 votes cast)

This is a fun way to do it. I'll play along


Set One
George Washington
Martin Van Buren
Richard Nixon

gw
rn
Mvb

GW #1 is easy.
RN #2 just because he was an adequate cold warrior so he's ahead of MVB
Mvb #3 Don't know anything about him so he's #3.

Set Two
Franklin Pierce
Lyndon Johnson
Andrew Jackson

AJ #1 just because he HAS to be better than the other two
FP Same as MVB, don't know much about him.
LBJ Arrrgh. One of the worst of all time.

Set Two Not easy:

I'll explain: Andrew Jackson was the first Demagogue Democrat; he developed the spoils system to reward his croonies; he had congress to pass the Force Bill, so SC would nullify tarrifs passed by the national congress. Some say he saved the union from civil war; I say he started the modern Democrat party down the path of corruption, and you would have had the big goverment LBJ if you hadn't had King Andrew!
