>There's no question in my mind that in this century the three greatest politicians, active politicians, were Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon Johnson. Nobody else of the presidents was in their league as political operators.

Who else could you make the case for among politicians of the 1900s? As far as US presidents go, those three were certainly more adroit politicians than all the rest from this century. Who else would even compare? JFK? Eisenhower who road into office on his military laurels?

Roosevelts yes but why LBJ? Vietnam was such a shitshow that he didn't seek a second term.

I dont know much about Nixons policies or anything, but I know he said he would, and did, end the vietnam war, so I like him for that.

As in most things, Nixon went 1 for 3.
