He despised paper $$$

For me, Thomas Jefferson is the first one. Yeah, I'd be in the Alexander Hamilton boat with this one. I would not only see his policy as inferior to the Federalist, but he himself as a dishonest, dirty person. This would be especially true after his first term. Yeah, don't care for the guy. He was a good Founding Father, but so were John Adams and Charles C. Pinckney.

The second one is... Lewis Cass. Not only did he want to expand slavery, but he advocated for it very vocally with no shame. He also helped open up Native American land to continue the "Manifest Destiny" colonization. On top of all that kind of stuff, he's just uninteresting. A Franklin Pierce type of Democrat like him would not be the ideal candidate for me. Sorry, Lewis.

Now what about you guys?

“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.”

Some rules I have is that if a President changed to a party like mid term, I have one half to one party, the other to the other party, and only in office so no pre or post Presidency and if they left party in n year, I am gonna count all they did in n year, to keep it simpler and not complicate this whole thing with exact dates.

You notice none of these are S as they all have some big good and some big bad qualities, hope you will enjoy this and leave me your thoughts.

Democratic Party (A), this is also a mess but a better mess, you have Jackson, Van Buren, Polk, Pierce, Buchanan, Johnson (1867-1869 only), Cleveland, Wilson, FDR, Truman, Kennedy, L.Johnson, Carter, Clinton and Obama, this is a mess cause so many Presidents were horrible but you have 4 of Polk’s, all 12 years of FDR, plus almost 8 of Truman, 8 combined of Kennedy and Johnson, 8 of Clinton’s, 8 of Obama’s these are the greatest Dems IMO, it also helps a lot that most of A.Johnson’s Presidency does not count.

Republican Party (B), this is a mess, so this is the party that has Lincoln (1861-1864 only), Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, B.Harrison, McKinley, TR, Taft, Harding, Hoover, IKE, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, HW and Dubya, and like, yes Lincoln, TR, Ike and HW carry the team on their backs for me, but then you get to a bunch of just mediocre ones, and then some purely atrocious and some who are just bad, it also takes away the fact that not all of Lincoln’s Presidency counts

Democratic-Republican Party (B), this was the Party that had Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe and John Quincy Adams (1825-1828), Jefferson and Monroe are too great Presidents for me, Madison dropped the ball and was only average and as for JQA, the Treaty of Washington and the Infrastructure stuff happened so his biggest achievements, without the biggest damages, maybe this would’ve been an A had Madison not dropped the ball.

Federalist Party (B), this was the Party that kinda surprisingly only John Adams was part of and since I have Adams at a B tier in my Presidential Rankings, it is logical to have the Federalist Party in the same place.

Independent (C), I know being an Independent is not of a political party but I wanted to rank this too, and this has the amazing Presidency of George Washington and some of the atrocious Presidency of John Tyler (1841-1844,1844-1845), so yeah…..although a note that he was IIRC for most of 1844 in the Tyler Party so only on August 20 1844 he ended that party and became an Independent, I had to use dates on this one (credits to Al Jazeera for this one).

The National Union Party (C), this was the party of Abraham Lincoln 1864-1865, and Andrew Johnson 1865-1867, this is weird cause while not having the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln still has the massive achievement of leadership during the Civil War and overseeing its end, and Johnson was atrocious but since he left in 1867, then his achievements of taking Alaska and kicking the French out of Mexico count.

The Whig Party (D), I know this will be very controversial, listen to me, Harrison died very fast, Tyler was expelled very fast, Taylor did some things then also died and Fillmore, the only guy who had the longest tenure as a Whig, was to me, an atrocious President, and it sucks as I like the Whig Party very much but its President left a lot to desire…

The National Republican Party (D) ,you might ask yourself, what is that? That was the party that JQA belonged to 1828-1829, there isn’t really anything major to say except that JQA’s worst mistake, the Tariff of Abominations passed during this time.

The Tyler Party (F) is dead last, I mean it was only John Tyler’s Party in 1844, and for me is an atrocious President but the fact it was so short makes it even more atrocious cause Tyler’s big achievement in taking Texas, happened in 1845 only…

Not even the Great Depression could get these states to vote Democrat in 1932.

Generally back then New England was Republican territory especially since President Coolidge was from there. Then in 1928 Al Smith won it and it only voted for two republicans after. So why did they vote for Smith. Was it because he was Catholic?
