McKinley (well, Palmer really) at the time, Bryan with hindsight.

Narrowly McKinley. His economic policy was a tad worse, especially on silver, but I trust him for stability.

Bryan is one of the worst nominees from either party in the last 100+ years, so no thanks.  McKinley.

Bryan, easily.

McKinley was a warmonger and imperialist.

McKinley. Most likely the first year I would have voted GOP.

McKinley enthusiastically, continuing my streak of supporting the Republican candidate since Fremont.

Bryan, given the choice between the two. Though less likely in 1900 or 1908.

Some of Bryan's domestic beliefs are concerning but anti-imperialism and free trade seals it for him.

McKinley, easily (not a racist, xenophobe, or radical).

But pro-child labor and worker-exploitation, with supporting a party equally (in action), racist and exploitative to minorities.

Were they perfect on race?  No.  Neither were the Radical Republicans.  Were they better than Democrats?  Absolutely...
