“Without Woodrow Wilson, LBJ, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and the Bush’s. Gee, let me think...”
Woodrow Wilson-Southern Democrat-born in the South to become Governor of New Jersey (North)
Clinton-Southern Democrat
LBJ-Southern Democrat
Jimmy Carter-Southern Democrat-Fooled a lot of people with his Southern peanut farmer, Southern Baptist charm. Worse President ever until Obama and Biden.
GW Bush-Republican-born in Connecticut. (North) Didn’t have much choice with this one. The alternatives were worse.
While Wilson was born in Virginia and lived there as a small child, he spent his formative years in and lived most of his life in New Jersey, was the president of Princeton and was governor of New Jersey.
As for the Bushes, Prescott was a product of the Northeast as was GHWB. He only moved to Texas well into adulthood. W did grow up in Texas though he was obviously the scion of the Bush family and went to Yale just like daddy.
Its fair to lay LBJ and Carter and Clinton on the South, but not Wilson or the Bushes. The latter were products of the Northeast.
Funny thing is that all of those (excepting LBJ) were the darlings of the Liberal Northeast. Wilson was president of Princeton. Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar.
Yes, the liberals dearly loved their idiot/corrupt Democrat presidents, even those from the South.
And for what it's worth, FDR and JFK did far more damage than any of the others you mentioned.
