If you could bring one president back from the dead for 8 years who would it be?

That was going to be my choice as well.

 

Bring back from the dead for what purpose? To teach a history class? To entertain my dinner guests?
Or to run for POTUS in 2020?

To teach a history class: Teddy R or Lincoln.
To entertain my dinner guests: Truman.
To run for POTUS again? Ike. Big time.

 

Jesus for president

 

If I wasn't black I'd say Woodrow Wilson, or Thomas Jefferson just for his speeches: but only about non-racial stuff.

 

Theodore Roosevelt... he would b**** slap Trump and put Putin in his place. I think he would pull Americans back towards the center but still break with party on issues like mar1juana, stem cells and environmental issues.

 

Trump. The media and the DnD murdered that fool.

 

George Washington, America's greatest President, who could have held the office for life and become King by another name, but instead established the peaceful transition of power. No other President served more than two terms until FDR, who decided he should go for four and as a result we had to have a constitutional amendment instituting term limits (one of several reasons FDR was America's worst President).

 

David Palmer.

 

Tanned, ready, and rested...

 

I'd bring back Lincoln, but I wouldn't make him president. I'd get him a book deal and take him on the speaker's circuit. We'd make millions. This is assuming he's indebted to me for bringing him back.

Then again, if he's indebted, I'd bring Trump back once he's dead and make him president and he gives me a cut of his emoluments and corrupt business deals. Make billions.

 

If one person can come back from the dead, you have to assume others possibly can to

If that is the case I'm forced to choose Abe Lincoln. He is the only president that has proven he can kill & protect us from zombies

 

This, I always admired TR for his pragmatism.

 

Nobody.

Anybody who is universally thought of as "great" (Washington, Lincoln,Roosevelt) would not be deserving of the treatment of today's media complex.

The rest from our history are just average anyways.

 

You'd probably be surprised that there was media back then too... and that the presidents of the past had challenging relationships with the media.


Abraham Lincoln, like Donald Trump, had his media enemies, too
