The three best presidents this country ever had were liberal Republicans (Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Eisenhower). It’s a proud tradition, worthy of revival.

As recently as the 70’s, there were bunches of liberal Republicans in Congress — Pete McCloskey, Linc Chaffee’s dad whose name I forget, John Anderson, Howard Baker, Gerald Ford, all the Rockefeller Republicans.

Wait, why is FDR not considered among America’s best presidents? He helped us beat our worst economic situation and one of the greatest military threats!
