What I find fascinating about this list: is the nearly absolute position of GOP presidents at the BOTTOM of the list, while Democrats enjoy huge financial successes across the board: as do the citizens when they serve ...

WHY would anyone think the GOP know how to run an economy ? ...

WHY would ANYONE vote for the GOP ? ...

Beats me ....
