    Andrew Johnson with torpedoing reconstruction?

    Just off the top. As for modern era politics, not really.

      Yea, see that’s why a question like that has to come with qualifiers. Andrew Johnson was a democrat, but he was a conservative democrat from before the party flip.

      He’d be a republican under the modern party ideals.
