        GOP has wasted 72 years trying to undo the beneficial parts of his legacy. #FDR

        @terryteachout he was a dead man walking. The cover-up of his dying during the 44 election was nothing short of shameful.

        It was worse with Wilson. His wife became de facto President. We simply can't use today's standards for judging historical events.

        He burned himself out for the US. The stress of the Great Depression and WWII killed him.

        As do the subjects of all the best portraits, FDR looks a little healthier, a little younger rendered in paint. His collar fits!
