*I prefer Crawford if he kept Albert Gallatin
**Dependent on how Van Buren campaigned on slavery - I'm told he didn't oppose it nearly as forcefully then as he would later in life, and if he was just like Webster on it, I prefer Webster
***Narrowly prefer him to Taylor; if he's not on the ballot, I vote for Taylor


I will edit this with previous Conventions later.

You would vote for Barry Goldwater but not Ronald Reagan (even in 1984)?

You wouldnt support Romney in 2012?

I did at the time, now I'm not so sure. In hindsight, I don't think Obama was really that bad, while Romney is kind of an annoying flip-flopper.

For me Hindsight makes me support Romney even stronger than with no hindisght.


Obama's 2nd term was an utter disaster and Romney's led to Trump . Plus Obama's win over 2012 was the first time running a populist campaign had worked in decades and that has been disastrous.
