Top 10 U.S. Presidential Candidates Who Should Have Been Elected
Which losing candidates do you think should have won the election?
Willard Mitt Romney is an American businessman and politician who served as the 70th Governor of Massachusetts from 2003 to 2007 and was the Republican Party's nominee for President of the United States in the 2012 election. If we were to elect Mitt Romney, he would have been serving this country to help it.
Let's be real. If he was elected, we wouldn't have to argue over Trump.
Marco Antonio Rubio is an American politician and attorney, and the junior United States Senator from Florida. He's actually a decent candidate. He is what the Republican Party wanted from the start, but they ended up with a carrot as a nominee.
John Richard Kasich is an American politician who served as the 69th Governor of Ohio from 2011 to 2019. If anything, he's much better than the current presumptive Republican nominee right now.
John Sidney McCain III (August 29, 1936 – August 25, 2018) was an American politician and military officer who served as a United States Senator from Arizona from January 1987 until his death. He previously served two terms in the United States House of Representatives and was the Republican nominee for President of the United States in the 2008 election, which he lost to Barack Obama. John McCain... what else needs to be said?
Albert Arnold "Al" Gore Jr. is an American politician and environmentalist who served as the 45th Vice President of the United States from 1993 to 2001 under President Bill Clinton. If he had been president, the terrorists would not have flown those two jets into the Twin Towers.
We had to face two flipping wars! If we had this guy as president, we wouldn't have been in big trouble!
What a tragedy that he "lost" this election.
Theodore Roosevelt was an American statesman, author, explorer, soldier, naturalist, and reformer who served as the 26th President of the United States from 1901 to 1909. As a leader of the Republican Party during this time, he became a driving force for the Progressive Era in the United States in the early 20th century.
Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr. was an American politician who served as the 38th President of the United States from August 1974 to January 1977.
Had he beaten Polk or Jackson, the Civil War would have never happened. Clay didn't want to expand slavery and was a compromiser, so he would have signed executive orders that boosted the economy and limited slavery.
He's the greatest man never to be president. The great compromiser. He averted civil war during his lifetime.
Bernard "Bernie" Sanders is an independent American Senator from Vermont and was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in the 2016 and 2020 elections. You know we're screwed when we're going from Obama to either Trump or Clinton. I'm legitimately scared about my financial status after the election. Scratch that. I'm scared for the country as a whole. I prefer Clinton over Trump, but I still feel uneasy. We had one job: vote for Sanders. And we blew it.
The perfect candidate. Even as someone who is not American and actually dislikes America a bit, I know Bernie Sanders is going to make America even more amazing than it is now. And then they picked the wife of the first black president: Hillary Clinton.
Bernie Sanders is more honest than Hillary Clinton. He also doesn't say the wrong things at the wrong time, unlike Donald Trump. Yes, Bernie Sanders should have been nominated, not Hillary Clinton.
Martin Van Buren was an American statesman who served as the eighth President of the United States from 1837 to 1841. I agree that Martin Van Buren should have still lost re-election in 1840, but in 1844 and 1848, had he been president, the vast expansion under Polk would have never happened. Thus, the Civil War would have started much later or maybe never even started.
John Quincy Adams (July 11, 1767 – February 23, 1848) was an American statesman who served as the sixth President of the United States from 1825 to 1829 at the peak of a political career during which he served in various capacities as diplomat, United States Senator, United States Secretary of State, and U.S. Representative from Massachusetts.
On paper, he was actually more qualified than Barack Obama.
That would be funny, but the sad fact is that it's true.
Kamala Devi Harris (born October 20th, 1964) is an American politician and attorney who is the 49th and current vice president of the United States. She is the first female vice president, as well as the first African American and first Asian American vice president in American history.
Elizabeth Ann Warren is an American academic and politician. She is a member of the Democratic Party and is the senior United States Senator from Massachusetts.
Tulsi Gabbard (born April 12, 1981) is an American politician and a former Democrat who served as the United States Representative for Hawaii's 2nd congressional district from January 3rd, 2013 to January 3rd, 2021. Tulsi Gabbard left the Democratic Party on October 11th, 2022, and is now an Independent.
John Adams was born on October 30, 1735 in Quincy, Massachusetts, United States. Adams served as the president of the United States from March 4, 1797 to March 4, 1801. He died on July 4, 1826 at the age of 90.
John Sidney McCain III (August 29, 1936 – August 25, 2018) was an American politician and military officer who served as a United States Senator from Arizona from January 1987 until his death. He previously served two terms in the United States House of Representatives and was the Republican nominee for President of the United States in the 2008 election, which he lost to Barack Obama.
John Forbes Kerry is an American diplomat and Democratic Party politician who is the 68th and current United States Secretary of State.
