Richard Milhous Nixon was a strong admirer of Mr. Wilson.

Wilson was definitely our most racist President, set back race relations years.

LBJ knew what he was doing too: solidifying Democrat control of the USA, the kind of control they now have in CA!

I just watched a WWI documentary focusing on Wilson, and after watching it, I reached the same conclusion. He did a lot of damage to this country, that set the stage for all the bad stuff down the road.

Actually, most of the presidents have been failures deserving of little respect.

Harding’s “boy” was the original “fall guy”: Albert B. Fall, R-NM. Hard to believe that NM once had a few Republican senators.

Eisenhower and Nixon were bitter disappointments to conservatives, who still voted for them.

BINGO and the Great Society.

He threw some Blacks back into slavery. According to The Black Lives Matter lady, Alicia Garza, LBJ said with the G.S. legislation, they would have Blacks voting for Rats for the next 100 years. Only he used the N word.

The Rats need a permanent underclass to survive. They are doing it now 50 years later with Hispanics. They are evil.

All of the wartime presidents did some permanent damage to the United States by establishing precedents for the "temporary" suspension of the Constitution.

These include Lincoln, Wilson, FDR, and W.

I'm not saying they are the worst presidents, but by undermining the Constitution they have led us down a path toward totalitarianism or economic collapse and anarchy.

We had no business being in WWI, we could have easily avoided the situation where Wilhelm felt he had to get desperate and try to get Mexico into the war.

Johnson was one of the worst. So was George W. Bush. Franklin Roosevelt was also a horrible President, but he does get some credit for helping the victory in World War II.

Ike appointing a solid Republican, like Warren, to the Supreme Court made sense.
It was like Henry II appointing his friend Thomas Becket Archbishop of Canterbury.
Once both men were confirmed to their new positions, they acted very differently than those that appointed them thought they would.

Wilson - FDR - LBJ - obozo are tied for worst. Each purposely tried to destroy the Constitution. And each succeeded in more than one way.

Carter was incompetent not malicious like those four traitors.

I’ve been by Wilson’s birthplace in Staunton. Nice mansion on the outside IMO.

I’ve mentioned in the past: trade those four demons for Coolidge-Reagan types and the USA would be a very different country. Much closer to the Founders vision.

WW2 might have been avoided if WW1 had been allowed to continue into 1919 as the French and Gen. Pershing wanted. Dictate the peace in Berlin or we’ll be doing this again in 20 years time.
