So! Who is worst GOP political figure of the past

[imanamerican63]

3 elections? Palin, Romney or Trump? I feel the 3 Stooges would have a better in office than these 3.

[kairos12]

1. Raygun.

[backscatter712]

2. Nixon deserves to be on the list.

Then there was the 1920s - Warren Harding and the Teapot Dome scandal...

[Me.]

3. Worst, Worser, Worster

A 30 year + tie

[Buckeye_Democrat]

4. Per your restrictions, I'd rank them in this order of "worst"...

1. Trump
2. Palin
3. Romney

[trotsky]

5. I think it's fair to say that without Palin, we probably wouldn't have Trump today.

But I agree with your ranking.

6. Romney wasn't a horrible human being, just ridiculously and impossibly out of touch.

And it showed in 2012 with the 47% comment.

Palin was and is a stupid trainwreck of a politician and a human being. But at a certain point, I have a weird pathetic pity for her because she's so ridiculously over her head in everything that she's does and it's just so blatantly obvious to everyone but her. That utter lack of self-awareness is cringeworthy.

Trump is just a horrible, terrible human being, period. There is absolutely nothing redeemable about the man, or even pitiable. He can go to hell for all I care.

10. Romney royally flubbed what was actually a factual statement

47% of the country will never ever vote for a Republican, so trying to convince them is futile. Not "takers", just Democrats.

"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what ... who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims. ... These are people who pay no income tax. ... and so my job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives," Romney said.

7. Tie: Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush

8. Cheney!!!!!!!......nt

[onecaliberal]

9. Bush, responsible for more than a millions dead.

St Ronnie of ray guns, destroyed the American economy with a failed philosophy on Econ that has endured in his failed party to this day
