I think comparing the founders in modern day political terms is foolish. Remember these were highly educated men with very different backgrounds building a concept for a country without precedent. And they took considerable personal risk to do so.

They succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.

I would have any one of them as President in a heartbeat, or any other executive position for that matter, if they were alive today.

They could think, and they had values. They could write and express their ideas in ways few today can do without agents and helpers.

We were blessed to have them all, including the ones whose personal lives had 18th century baggage.
