It still amazes me how they laid the foundations for the Greatest Civilization ever in our known history.

Orange Bastard, not even close.
92% negative press, 50% approval (rasmussen).

A couple of them were brilliant (Jefferson and Madison head-and-shoulders above the rest). The lot of them were certainly brave, but most of them were nothing special intellectually.

If we’re talking about intelligence relative to political ability, three immediately come to mind - Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton,
Can't disagree.Reagen and Clinton had great instincts and wisdom. Both were brilliant politicians.
While BHO was charismatic he surrounded himself with horrible people and his obvious partisanship alienated multitudes

LBJ as much as I hate him for expanding the size of the federal govt with his Great Society bullshite, dude was EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE at getting his way regardless of what side of the aisle his position lay, dude got his way as Senate Majority Leader from Texas in terms of successfully opposing civil rights legislation and filibustering and got his way as POTUS for Vietnam spending, Great Society and Civil Rights Act I mean hell the dude persuaded Arthur Goldberg to step down from SCOTUS after only 3 years so he could nominate and confirm his guy Abe Fortas to the Court, dude ruled like Frank Underwood

I suppose if the Earth turns into a burning hell in 12 years one would have to include AOC in this discussion
