Section Ten: What If?
Who Would Have Been Far Worse in Presidential Body Counts?
* Much like the previous section, to be included in this section, there must have been a real possibility they could have become president. Third party or less known candidates of the two main parties of the most horrific kind, from Strom Thurmond to George Wallace to David Duke to Pat Buchanan to Ron Paul, thankfully never a chance of actually being elected president.
* A potential president must also have been objectively far worse at potentially causing deaths, regardless of party or ideology, and there must be tangible proof they would have behaved so in their own words and deeds. Even presidents who did what they believed to be the right thing that would obviously have turned out disastrously, usually because of their ideological blindness, deserve almost as much condemnation as those who do evil either for a deeply amoral nature or for political gain.
