Quite clearly Arthur; Garfield might have outpaced him had he lived longer (curse you, 19th century doctors).

Um, you know Cleveland's history with organized labor, right? Not that the Gilded Age presidents are known for their pro-union sympathies, but Cleveland's second term was particularly dark on that count.

I like Cleveland's anti-imperialism. Especially compared with McKinley.

I'm willing to overlook his intervention in the Pullman strike and overall economic policies because I'm a big fan of his foreign policy especially regarding Hawaii and the Venezuela Crisis. I guess the Pullman strike would be a deal breaker for most socialists, but I'm not a huge ideologue.

To be fair, McKinley was rather reluctant in that regard. He's more FF than Teddy ever was on that stance.

Gonna have to say McKinley. He was one of the more competent Presidents.

Chester Arthur, as I staunchly oppose corruption. (Controversial)
