Who will win - BUCHANAN or KRASNOV - for worst and most hated president - BUCHANAN video is long

Knowing next to nothing about B. I was struck by what travesties to democracy he practiced that sound like the daily things KRASNOV does: "declared war on his own party," violated Separation of Powers "rigging" the Dred Scott decision conspiring with two Justices, got Kansas in as a slave state, blatantly lied about his intentions, much more. What did he do "while the nation was crumbling?"

The odd thing is, his early career was as a brilliant diplomat.

...working on it.

It's interesting that the Republicans were (sort of, as much as one could get away with it) against racism in Buchanan's time, and the Democrats very much in favor of racism.

Times have changed.

This may prove to be the second time the Republic comes apart because of racism.

1. James Buchanan; 2. Andrew Johnson; 3. TACO term 1; 4. Warren Harding; Franklin Pierce. Dishonorable mentions go to William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Herbert Hoover, Millard Fillmore, Zachary Taylor, Richard Nixon, and George W. Bush.
