Americans love their conservative presidents -- like Bill Clinton

And the top choice for Democrats, in this poll and others, is Bill Clinton, who, despite bringing some big liberal ideas, earthy debauchery and all manner of corruption to the Oval Office, presided over a thriving economy, declared the era of big government over and signed more consequential conservative legislative than any president since – and perhaps, anyone before him.

Consider:

Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

Defense of Marriage Act.

Welfare reform.

General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.

Bills deregulating the financial (including the repeal of Glass–Steagall) and telecommunications industries.

North American Free Trade Agreement.
