Warren Harding was one of our greatest Presidents. Cut taxes, cut government spending and the size of government and unleashed the prosperity of the 1920s. He came from the Senate. Coolidge got credit for most of what Harding set in motion.
There are always exceptions to a rule. Ted is not one of them. I like many of his policy positions but, his campaign-style was painful to watch. He comes across as sanctimonious, and extremely unlikable.
My wife and my eldest son were fans of Ted before he ran for President. After watching him on the stump they recoiled at his public speaking mannerisms. They said to me we really like his policies but, his public persona is a total turn-off. He’s simply not a likable guy.
I and a great many people agreed with their assessment.
