5 John W. Davis (Democratic, 1924)
6 Barry Goldwater (Republican, 1964)
Goldwater was a good man. It was the media, doing the Democrats' bidding, that painted Goldwater as a lunatic - just as they tried with Reagan in 1980, and just as they're doing with Trump now. Instead we got Lyndon Johnson, unimaginable expansion of the welfare state, and the host of attendant social pathologies so apparent today.
7 George Mcgovern (Democratic, 1972)
8 Hillary Clinton (Democratic, 2016)
Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton (born October 26, 1947) is an American politician, diplomat, and former lawyer who served as the 67th United States secretary of state from 2009 to 2013, as a United States senator representing New York from 2001 to 2009, and as first lady of the United States from 1993 to 2001 as the wife of President Bill Clinton. A member of the Democratic Party, she was the party's nominee for president in the 2016 presidential election, becoming the first woman to win a presidential nomination by a major U.S. political party; Clinton won the popular vote, but lost the Electoral College vote, thereby losing the election to Donald Trump.
