Wilson: Stay really neutral in WW I rather than the sham neutrality that led to us entering the war after he was safely reelected.
You like Wilson? What.
No, I don't like Wilson, but I like picking him as a President whose Presidency I'd want to change what happened in it. "You like" in the idiom "pick any <thing> you like" refers to liking the pick, not the thing. By the way, v0031, why have you hacked Beet's account?
Nice try. Embrace the dark side, Ernest. Wilson, for all his faults, advanced U.S. interests and liberal ideals in important ways.
Actually, Wilson was probably the most reactionary president we had in the 20th century. Removing Negros from all but the most menial of Federal jobs, opposing women's suffrage until it became political impossible to do so, getting the US in a number of petty wars and the World War. Yet the things that people like to laud Wilson for when it come to his liberal credentials were positions supported by all three Presidential candidates in 1912. Direct election of the Senate, the Federal Reserve, and the income tax would have come to pass no matter who won.
