After much deliberation, and quietly following this entire thread, I have decided I will be making an endorsement based in part on answering the following question.
Question:
Of these options, which (in your opinion, based on historical evidence) best describes Abraham Lincoln?
-Institutionalist focused on preserving the constitution
-Poltical pragmatist focused on navigating currents
-Aggressive political radical
-Racially driven moral crusader
-None of the above (explain)
I believe it is important for the first President of the War Room to be able to demonstrate the ability to analyze history and critically evaluate different approaches to understanding important figures.
