A Republican wins! Abraham Lincoln.

Another low-information voter apparently, but you have hope. Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, but he also was the worst abuser of the US Constitution. Don't get tied up in Hollywood crap and read some history instead.

Thanks! I wondered how long it would take for someone to make that point. I thought perhaps FR was slipping.

“Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, but he also was the worst abuser of the US Constitution.”

Tie between him, Wilson, and FDR.

I hear you and as usual the story was not really Lincoln. The Civil war was never fought over slavery per se. It was fought over economics which is what many wars are fought over. Argo I hear didn’t exactly follow the truth I hear too. Wilson was a pretty good abuser of the Constitution as well.
