BWAHAHA, you've gotta be kidding me!
Unfortunately the Party of Lincoln no longer exists.
"What is conservatism? Is it not adherence to he old and tried, against the new and untried? " -Lincoln
Heads and tails over that buffoon reagan

Not enough words to describe my love and admiration for Ronald Reagan not only as a president, but as a man. Rest in peace Gipper.
I like his one-liners/stories. Also, he led the US during the most crucial stretch of the Cold War.
How is he not number #1!...This man was are greatest president ever

He took life by the horns and lived it to the fullest
Two words: national parks. Environmentalists should worship at this man's feet. But, the left knows next to nothing about history. Therefore, they will remain forever ignorant about the most environmentally minded president in US history.
This man was believed in business monopolies, disgusting that he's on this list

4 Dwight D. Eisenhower
Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower was an American politician and general who served as the 34th President of the United States from 1953 until 1961. He was a five-star general in the United States Army during World War II and served as Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe.

He's what we need. My favorite president
He was very accepting and progressive.
5 Donald Trump
Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is an American businessman, television personality, politician, and the 45th President of the United States.

He is the people's President; in debt to no one but the people who elected him and fulfilling the promises he made to us: the economy is up, unemployment is down and he supports the servicemen/women who protect us. He doesn't drink or smoke and his brain cells are intact to a point of clairvoyance when compared to the rest of the political opinions out there. He has vowed to "drain the Washington Swamp" and eventually someone will be prosecuted and the snowball effect will happen, only then will the fake news have to applaud him and post better pictures of him then the one posted here!
This is man who has led his own companies into bankruptcy 6 times. He is wasting money on wall that will never get finished (because Mexico will never pay for it) He cannot take advice or criticism and picks on the most vulnerable people. A real champ!
Despite the media hounding him everyday for drinking coca-cola, and getting two scoops of ice-cream he was able to pull out a win to be POTUS. Apparently in this day and age people care more about foreigners than their own population. A physical wall does help with illegals who travel over with a car. People in the comments think they are financial geniuses, and think that success never comes without some failure. Yes Trump has had to deal with bankruptcy, but he's still a multi-billion dollar success. Paris climate accord is literally a pledge to "be better" when most countries are x10 worse than the U.S in pollution, so pulling out isn't going to affect us. You should see Chinas "pledge" to the climate accords it's a joke. Van Jones of CNN even admitted "The whole Russian think is just a big nothing burger.". Trump has to deal with a lot of unfair statements being made about him, and at the same time about 1 year into his presidency he has hit all time low unemployment for ...more

7 Thomas Jefferson

He was born on April 13, 1743, and died on July 4, 1826, on the same day 2nd United States President John Adams died. I thought Jefferson was on the democratic-republican party, which turned into the democrat party
But I think his agrarian ideologies and opposition to Hamilton's idea of a national bank led historians to think of him as a Republican instead. - Volhosis
8 James Monroe

William McKinley was the 25th President of the United States, serving from March 4, 1897 until his assassination in September 1901, six months into his second term. McKinley is vastly under-rated at 15. He is easily in the top 6-7 Republican Presidents.
10 John Quincy Adams
The Contenders
11 William H. Taft
12 Gerald R. Ford
13 Calvin Coolidge
I voted for Coolidge because he was the last real Republican, if you're going by todays definition of the party. Every "Republican" President since him has followed a very distorted version of the party's platform. And while Presidents such as Lincoln and Roosevelt were Republicans, the party was much different back then than it is now. Presidents like Lincoln, T. Roosevelt, and Eisenhower would, most likely, be Democrats today. Just like Clinton and Obama were much more moderate on the issues than their opponents realize, and weren't true Democrats. - Alpha101
His hands-off leadership producing seven years of prosperity, peace, and balanced budgets. Now I can barely remember an America that wasn't at war.
He had the economy booming.
14 Ulysses S. Grant
Ulysses S. Grant was an American soldier and statesman who served as Commanding General of the Army and the 18th President of the United States, the highest positions in the military and the government of the United States.
