Wilson was the third worst president of the twentieth century, after FDR and LBJ.

Carter would probably be a close fourth.  He was embarrassing and pathetic more than actively destructive.  But he was definitely Wilsonian in his foolish Idealism.  Clinton was actually not that bad for a Democrat, but that was entirely due to luck and a Republican congress.

The Socialist went down in a flame after the 1930's. I wonder why? I know a large deal of American history, but I can't figure out why.

Makes sense...FDR was arguably a socialist.

Like Texasgurl said, FDR took up a large bulk of the Socialist vote in the 1930s, and most of them eventually moved over to the Dems. Then of course came the Cold War and the anti-leftist sentiment that went with it. I suppose that's the decline of America's Socialist movement in a nutshell.
