I wrote this book to empower voters to vote!
In this book, I present four sets of historical facts to give voters additional tools to combat the tidal wave of information and misinformation about the current election. The book uses the histories of our best and worst presidents to build a scorecard. The scorecard includes job experience factors that correlate with our best and worst presidents. It also includes common characteristics of our best and worst presidents. I use four different surveys to identify the best and the worst, and I intentionally exclude the last three presidents (because the point of my project is to use history to get above the emotions of the moment). Readers can use different pieces of the book as a voting aide, or they can read the whole thing: I believe this is a great, easy-to-use tool to give people confidence in their ability to make a good choice.

Have you ever wondered which presidents are considered the best in American history? Author Stephen Tryon surveyed several rankings taken across the political spectrum to identify the best and worst. His book What Makes a Great President? includes a chapter that provide the prior job experiences that most highly correlate with our best and worst presidents, chapters that provide the historical context and key actions of our best and worst presidents, a chapter that describes the evolution of political parties in the United States over the 235 years since the ratification of the Constitution, a chapter that presents several landmark speeches of our greatest presidents, and a chapter that presents a scorecard for evaluating presidential candidates. Tryon stays away from discussing Joe Biden, Donald J. Trump, or Barack Obama because his goal is to use history as a means to avoid the emotional bias that is so widespread in our current political landscape. The text is easy to read in whole or piecemeal, and readers can quickly benefit from this useful tool for effective citizenship!
