This should be interesting.

Given that most of his platform became the progressive reforms of the first 2 decades, I voted FF despite the Scopes Trial.

I wouldn't touch the Carnival cruise ships with a 10 foot pole.  Too many things have gone wrong in the last ~6 months for me to even consider it anymore.

I dontvreally like him & it would be overall negative, but I don't view him as a horrible person.

Never thought I'd say this, but I'm praying for another black-yellow majority, and for the SPD to get shattered.  It's exactly what it deserves.

This.

WJB's role in transforming the Democratic Party into progressive economically one cannot be possibly understated. On the other hand, he was one of the earliest and certainly most vocal creationist, which idea is still poisoning minds all across America.

And then there's his support for Prohibition...

I'll be honest, I've actually gained a little respect for William J. Bryan over the past year or so.  Sure, this is the vehement supporter of prohibition and a noted nativist, as well as an economic progressive.  Yeah whatever.

But, his opposition to imperialism can't be understated.  For William J. Bryan so hated imperialism he gave up his one and only Secretary of State gig.

This may earn me the hatred of some people here, but you wouldn't have to put a gun to my head to convince me to vote Bryan over McKinley or Taft.

In other words, he was the Pat Buchanan of the early 20th Century.

With that said, mixed.

Mixed, but if you put him in the context of his time he is quite good compared to most politicians.

Very good. Minus the Scopes Trial, he's a strong FF.

Yes, forgot about this and, on the other hand, what Mecha said about imperialism.

Extremely horrible person.  He was perfectly willing to completely sell out his few good principles for minor political gain.  Amusingly, he'd probably be in favor of imprisoning everyone who voted "FF."
