Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[mateinone]

She's a crazy neo-con, a war monger. Evil personified. A New World Order type, as was Obama sadly.

That said, Trump now seems to be (largely) playing to the same songbook?

That is so off the charts it is not funny...
There is nothing to back up most of that name calling, particularly towards Obama who could hardly be consider a war monger.

I think history would look back actually well on Obama. He won't be remembered as a great president and he won't be remembered as a bad president.
I think he will be remembered as a diplomatic effective president.

Looking at his rankings done by 3 major polls to date that had him listed as an option (2 were during his term in office) show the following average ranking going back over the last 50 years. (Obama was the 44th President, but 43rd individual)
That ranks Obama behind Reagan and Clinton and a little ahead of Bush Senior, with Ford, Carter, Nixon and Bush Jnr a long way behind.
I probably would have ranked him 3rd or 4th myself... Where do you think he stands in that group?

As for Trump... I suspect he will poll as one of the worst 3 presidents in history in every major poll going forward
