Skipping to the twentieth century we start we have:
Woodrow Wilson — “oversaw the passage of progressive legislative policies unparalleled until the New Deal in 1933”
Franklin Delano Roosevelt — New Deal
Harry S. Truman — “implemented the Marshall Plan to rebuild the economy of Western Europe, and established the Truman Doctrine and NATO”
John F. Kennedy — “Kennedy ended a period of tight fiscal policies, loosening monetary policy to keep interest rates down and to encourage growth of the economy.”
Lyndon B. Johnson — “Johnson designed the "Great Society" legislation to expand civil rights, public broadcasting, Medicare, Medicaid, aid to education, the arts, urban and rural development, public services and his "War on Poverty".”
Jimmy Carter — “During Carter's term as president, two new cabinet-level departments, the Department of Energy and the Department of Education, were established. He established a national energy policy that included conservation, price control, and new technology.”
Bill Clinton — “Clinton presided over the longest period of peacetime economic expansion in American history.”
Barack Obama — “Obama signed many landmark bills into law during his first two years in office. The main reforms that were passed include the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (commonly referred to as the "Affordable Care Act" or "Obamacare"), the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010.”
If you are nominating someone whom you honestly believe will live up to the accomplishments of any of the above gentlemen then fine. If not then you are just wasting America’s time because your candidate won’t get elected — too out of step with the Democratic Party’s historic brand of aggressive accomplishments to make use of the nomination.
