Its a real shame LBJ was such crap at foreign policy or he would be remembered as one of the greatest presidents of all time. But he was *real* bad at foreign policy.

In four short years he met his every goal He seized the whole Southwest from Mexico Made sure the tariffs fell And made the English sell The Oregon Territory He built an independent Treasury Having done all this, he sought no second term But precious few will mourning the passing of Mr James K Polk, our eleventh President Young Hickory, Napoleon of the stump

She claims one of the best gifts she ever got was "Provisions and Politics: Recipes Honoring First Lady Sarah Childress Polk." Even by historian standards, it's a little weird.

UHD posted:who was the last good president Horrible human being or lovely president are the norm. Usually both. Did you read the "elections throughout history" thread we had here in CSPAM back in the day? I would highly recommend it! There's like probably 3 or 4 at most a person would think are actually good, and which 3 or 4 probably changes depending on the person. And even the good ones were pretty terrible.

the moment you remove iowa from the "first primaries" list is the same time that whatever party promises to restore iowa to its first place position wins the state

Iowa's main function as a state is to basically be a job fair for presidential candidates e: http://www.theonion.com/article/retreating-clinton-campaign-torches-iowa-town-slow-52261 http://www.theonion.com/article/clinton-ominously-tells-iowan-supporters-mark-fron-52265

i wouldn't mind a complete randomization of the primary states done a year in advance or so. and probably iowa and NH can remain in their stupid little first place positions

Perez threw his hat in the ring. 12 state endorsements to Ellison's 15. I'm extremely biased, but this doesn't seem the best response to this question IMO. https://twitter.com/aseitzwald/status/809488198745419780

no one region/demo should dominate the early map (ie, no washington + montana + oregon + colorado as the second wave of states), and the biggest states should come as late as possible (like texas, cali, ny, and florida). this gives candidates with good ideas but little fundraising the chance to make it out. this should apply to both primaries. get rid of caucuses, allow anyone to switch registration (but not right back) and keep primaries closed. it doesn't have to be perfect, but something close to that i think would achieve what all parties would want. if you play spoiler, you can't pick your own candidate, and primary voting should be done by mail. nobody candidates get a better shake to make their ideas count, no one gets firewalled, and people with crossover appeal to other demos that might win a general election get influence, but the party gets to keep them for a bit and it minimizes spoiler votes.
