Extremely positive.  He's one of the greatest American politicians of the post Civil-War era, and would have made a better President than either of the men he lost to.

Fairly positive. His foreign policy views were particularly sensible.

His foreign policy is the biggest problem I have with him.

If you knew as much history as you pretend to, you'd know that Bryan actually urged Democratic Senators to vote for the annexation of the Phillippines, in the hope of maintaining it as a campaign issue in 1900! Or that Bryan, as Secretary of State under Wilson, was a ferocious advocate of US imperialism in Latin America...

As Mikado said, he then resigned rather enterining WWI.  I said my biggest problem with him was foreign policy; I didn't say how much of a problem it was.
