Some politicians are too presidential in appearance, and even their behavior reflects it.
A user asked the forum, “What politician in the history of United States politics was the most presidential.” Here are the top responses.
GEORGE WASHINGTON
“Arguably George Washington, since he set so much precedent for how the president should behave.”
MITT ROMNEY
A user said, “Romney looks like a stereotypical movie president.”
Another added, “Mitt Romney by far.”
BUSH
“Of all the modern presidents, George Herbert Walker Bush was very presidential.”
ROOSEVELT
“Theodore Roosevelt. His presidency seemed to reinvent the modern presidency. Highly scholarly and intelligent. Proven courage in battle, plus a first-hand understanding of the horror of war.
Passionate and driven in his view of the United States’ unique place in the world, he would steamroll his opposition, whether it was robber barons or Democrats. He was a bare-knuckle brawler in partisan politics and took no prisoners.”
MIKE PENCE
“Mike Pence, especially when he talked about the space thing. It looked like it was from a movie.”
HARDING
“Harding. The man was elected in part because he looked Presidential.”
JIMMY CARTER
“Jimmy Carter. Human decency has to count for something.”
OBAMA
“Obama purely for his class.”
HILLARY
“Given all of the President Hillary on Television, the cultural imagination had Hillary Clinton slotted into the spot from 1992 until 2016. Lindsay Ellis had a 20-minute episode on her ever presence in the media.”
REAGAN
“Reagan. He was old, white, arms dealing, charismatic, religious, critical of government, expands government anyways, rich, and famous.”
CHARLES EVANS HUGHES
“Charles Evans Hughes. He is not racist, and you will not see a purge of the leftists or a fair Versailles towards Germany. Most importantly, there is no ban because the Democrats will not pass it if they dominate throughout the twenties, so the rise of gang power does not happen.
ROCKY
“Old man Romney or Rocky (Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller).”
LINCOLN
“Washington, Lincoln, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.”
CHARLES GATES DAWES
“Charles Gates Dawes, Vice President of the United States. He’s a very good economist, and he helped ease the depression that Calvin Coolidge (not Hoover) caused.”
BARRY GOLDWATER OR NELSON ROCKEFELLER
“I’ll say Barry Goldwater or Nelson Rockefeller.”
