You have an interesting list, especially on the Republican side, I prefer George H. W. Bush to Ronald Reagan as well but I think Reagan was the right man for the job at that time so I didn't put them on my list, afterwards the one I find very interesting is for Nixon over Eisenhower, why would you have prefered Nixon (just out of curiousity)?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I preferred HW over Reagan when they were both vying for the pub nominee........and I liked Jack Kemp

[President Johnson]

Democrat
1944 - Harry Truman over Franklin Roosevelt
1960 - Lyndon Johnson over Jack Kennedy
1988 - Lloyd Bentsen over Michael Dukakis
2008/2012 - Joe Biden over Barack Obama

Republican
1864 - Andrew Johnson over Abraham Lincoln
1952/1956 - Dick Nixon over Ike Eisenhower
1980/1984 - George Bush over Ronald Reagan
2008 - Sarah Palin over John McCain

What? You prefer Andrew Johnson over Uncle Abe? LOL! Johnson was the greatest racist ever to reside at 1600 Penn. Uncle Abe was one of the greatest leaders in world history. Democrats, Republicans and Independents alike admire this great man.

Only doing this since 1900 :


Republicans :

1920 : Calvin Coolidge over Warren Harding


Democrats :

1900: Adlai Stevenson over William Jennings Bryan

I definitely agree on these two

[Lechasseur]

1920: FDR over Cox
 

Then for FDR in 1920, he was definitely better than James Cox with hindsight but too inexperienced for the presidency at that point

Ike is overrated, and I believe Nixon could've been a great President if he had become President earlier in his career.

What? You prefer Andrew Johnson over Uncle Abe? LOL! Johnson was the greatest racist ever to reside at 1600 Penn. Uncle Abe was one of the greatest leaders in world history. Democrats, Republicans and Independents alike admire this great man.

Andrew Johnson was a Democrat who believed in the Constitution, not a tyrannical Republican who literally deported a sitting Congressman for political reasons.

[Lechasseur]

1996: Jack Kemp (R-NY) Dole would have made a good President perhaps 8-20 years prior; 1996 was too late.

Absolutely, that's what I've always thought myself, Dole could have been a good president 10 or 20 years earlier but by 1996 his time had passed.

For Nixon and Eisenhower, I agree with you that Nixon was a very talented man who would probably be remembered as one of our better presidents had it not been for Watergate, on the other hand Eisenhower if anything I think is underrated, even if I don't agree with everything he did I think overall he did a very good job and was arguably our best post-war president.
