The last time democrats wielded this much power they created the new deal.

The last time republicans wielded this much power we became a global power.

Both Roosevelts.

Both hated by their opposition.

Trump is not a Roosevelt, but in a way neither were they in their day.

I’m a centrist. I believe the greatest living president is Clinton and it’s not even close. I hope leftsts become pragmatic again and choose a Clintonesque nominee next time.

The policies that backfired so spectacularly that the working class voted in Trump for some degree of reversal?
