  3.  @Mr110074  He was the Hamilton and Franklin of his time. While never president, his impact can't be understated.

  4. How is Woodrow Wilson always a side character in these Biographics?

  5.  @myoctobersymphony4446  "Popular" was probably poor word choice. Reagan is "less polarizing" than the iron lady. Of the people who didn't like her, they truly hated her. Reagan wasn't that divisive by comparison.

  6.  @CatnamedMittens  Technically, Bush balanced the budget and then Clinton showed up to take credit

  7. Andrew Jackson! I just want to hear Simon in his English accent go over how Jackson humiliated those dirty red coats in the Battle of New Orleans.

  8.  wolf tone  Literally no one cares about Reagan's time as a union leader. It would be weird to ignore everything else he has done and then hate the man for rooting out communist in Hollywood. Plus, he pushed back when McCarthy took things too far.

  10. Reagan went senile near end of his second term.

  11.  @internetual7350  How can you speak out against genocide, murder, and the persecution of ethnic minorities AND claim there is no such thing as an "Uncivilized" society? You defined Reagan's critism to the Soviet Union -- the country that made Ukraine starve, murdered the opposition, and exiled the Tatars from their home.

  12.  @christinebenson518  To be fair, the inflation crisis, border crisis, energy crisis est. are problems of Biden's own making. Trump with his failed coup plots and botched covid response also isn't an impressive show of leadership. Obama's 8 years as lame duck only looks impressive next to the idiots who followed his presidency. Also, none of them are 19th century presidents.

  13. I always assumed people didn't like Reagan, because of his legacy of small government and conservative values is still a hurdle liberals can't get past. Little did I know, a bunch of ya'll preferred to have the Soviet Union around to support your socialist beliefs.

  14.  @coldcoffee1506 Reagan left the White House with a job approval rating of 63 percent, support that many politicians can only dream of. Only 29 percent disapproved of Reagan's work. Among Republicans, Reagan enjoyed a 93 percent approval rating.

  15.  @tommyfred6180  You can pretend that Iran is a superpower all you want, but the fact is that there has never been so few deaths as a result of war in world history since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

  16. The real history of Thanksgiving is the opposite of the modern spirit of Thanksgiving.

  17.  @nataliekhanyola5669  "In Gallup's most recent measure of favorability about Reagan, taken in January 2001, 74% of Americans had a favorable opinion of him, and only 23% were unfavorable." I'm having difficulty finding a poll more recent than 2001, but Reagan is still widely popular today unlike the iron lady.

  19.  @cripplious  I get it. It seems like Simon would have done Wilson by now since Simon has covered less impactful (good & bad) presidents already.

  20.  @JK-gu3tl  I'm not saying saying Obama was scandal free, but none of them are newsworthy as Monica Lewinsky, Iraq WMDs, or January 6th. Bubble? The economy stagnated under Obama.

  21. A man who doesn't know his father and looks white can't be African American. Race is a social construct, so if no one considers someone as black, then they aren't black. Blood and DNA are meaningless.

  22. Apparently, YouTube will censor me for pointing out that racism on skin color is a rather modern invention that didn't take place 2000 years ago. Let's see if they remove this comment too.

  23. Anglo speaking? English?

  24. America really didn't care about democracies until after the cold war. The country was isolationist for most of its history and the cold war priorities were stopping communism instead of promoting democracy and human rights.

  26.  @jeffreywoodward8202  Or only the super wealthy would be the only ones who win campaigns, because they would be the only ones who could afford to spread their message without consolidating resources with others.

  27.  @jeffreywoodward8202  Between regulators and Wall Street, it seems like the finance guys always to be a step ahead. I imagine it would be similar issues with political regulation on the scale you suggest. I would also say the SEC can't even fully enforce the rules they have now for politicians.

  28.  @Talisguy  It is wierd and obsessive to bring up your poltical grievances during a biography of John Q Adams. It sounds like the people who always want to talk about Hunter Biden.

  32. Is there a Cook Day?

  33.  @iapetusmccool  Only by congress. The president doesn't have the authority to do it on his or her own.

  34.  @robertoleary5470  Even if it is a holiday, there are 300,000 million Americans who have Columbus Day compared to 5 million of New Zealand. I'm skeptical that Cook is more famous.

  35.  @Wardner213  Most Lincoln biographies that are worth anything will mention his suspension writ of habeas corpus. There are also a few who question how legal the Emancipation Proclamation is.

  37.  @shakiMiki  I know who he is. My point was that he is a obscure figure.

  38.  @ignitionfrn2223  Cancel culture is the extreme on the other end. For example, in the eyes of progressives, Thomas Jefferson's legacy is solely defined by slavery.

  39.  @ah_libra  His predilection for Marxism during the Cold War is taboo enough where few mention it in order to avoid criticizing him. You also bring up the point that the only time the minister's adultery is brought up is when it frames him as the victim of persecution by the FBI. MLK is one of greatest men in American history. We don't have to pretend like he is a flawless human being.

  40.  @I-am-Ranb0  Yes, but America is bigger than the UK, Australia, and New Zealand combined. It is the reason that the most known historical figures are always Chinese.

  41. Having thousands of soldiers defeat a couple hundred soldiers at the Alamo isn't an achievement for his resume.

  42.  @FilthyTrot  They wouldn't call MLK a troublemaker, because his protests were non violent. BLM are troublemakers because their protests turn into riots, looting, and arson. After all the destruction, the BLM leaders says it is justified by all the outrage the community feels. Lastly, Democrats were the ones who called the peaceful protesters troublemakers.
    1
  43.  @FilthyTrot  Republicans condemned BLM for all the violence, and they mock them for ridiculous demands like abolishing the police. It is a mischaracterization to claim Republicans oppose civil rights.
    1
  44.  @FilthyTrot  No one is arguing for police brutality and white supremacy. BLM can and should oppose these things, but it doesn't mean they should be encouraging arson, looting, and rioting. Also, defining yourself as a "civil rights" group doesn't exempt you from ridicule for ridiculous ideas such eliminating the police.
    1
  45.  @FilthyTrot  The BLM leaders continously defend the rioters, arsonist, and looters, because the BLM leaders "understand their outrage". The organizations are run by inefficient leaders who can generate violent protests, but can't get many voters to the polls. They also managed to alienate a mostly sympathetic country by demanding reparations, abolishing the police, and insisting teachers to tell children they have 'white privilege'. Republicans mock AOC and Bernie's socialist ideas plenty without characterizating them as troublemakers.

  50. Simon has said he ignores requests with multiple entrees, because he doesn't know which person that people are up voting.
