    What crappy dictionary is that from?

    2: the majority of most people

    The majority of most would logically be less than the sum of most, making this definition retarded.

    Wow, can one of the Mods please tell me why my original Title of this thread was changed?

    I have to assume that it was because the same individual who is notorious for stirring shit up around here got his butt hurt again, and reported it?

    I have no idea, as I didn't know it was changed nor do I know who changed it.

    You're missing their point. Their point is that Trump is the greatest President the Universe has ever known in it's long infinity of time. Hint: Infinity is a pretty long time. Longer than even this forum has existed, longer than I've been alive, longer than Marzy's been alive.

    No one complained.

    I changed the title so there was more of a conversation and debate about Lincoln and Trump instead of making it a thread bitching about conservatives.

    you should've made it a purposely misleading title, like Sly does.

    Like, "Even Dems vote for Republican President (Lincoln) as best President EVER"

    Exactly. No mod should ever change a title to a thread unless it is a violation of the rules or the thread starter requests it or at minimum a mod asks a thread starter for permission and is agreed on.

    I say we march on Washington. I have gathered the troops.

    Lincoln is by far the better president. Lincoln was a far better man than Trump will ever be.

    The title makes it sound like which republican president in between them (after Lincoln and before Trump) was best. Probably Teddy Roosevelt or Dwight Eisenhower.

    One thing that we learned from this poll...Republicans no longer can claim Lincoln or Reagan as their best President ever.
