You must live a pretty pathetic life when you’re boasting about Republican vs Democrat presidents online…BTW you lefties have some catching up to do. There have been a total of 19 Republican presidents and only 14 Dummycrats.
That means you have to win the next 5 elections just to break even

Why the Republican Presidents Would Win a Tug-of-War
If you’re wondering how many Republican presidents there have been in U.S. history, the answer is 19, with the first being Abraham Lincoln in 1861.www.thoughtco.com
So the score is 19 to 14. Better get to work

Give phil a break, it must be so hard to find some angle that lets you think you're a rump supporter and a winner these days.

Why are you stuck in the last few centuries. Be realistic, when a President like Biden smashed all trends to be the first one in decades to do so well in the Mid Terms in spite of the high inflation, then it is a slap in the face of Trump and his cronies who constantly blamed him for it!!
The Democrats have kept control of the Senate, due to the lies of the Repugnantlicans. An achievement despite the polls giving fuel to the likes of Fox News who were constantly blah blahing about how the Repugnantlicans will win the House by a margin of 40 or so seats, and also take the Senate!!

Boasting about it does seem pretty pathetic - but looking over the history and how things evolved and played out can be interesting.
For instance, we have 19 Republican Presidents.
We have 17 Democratic ones (not sure why his article says 14).
Then we have 4 more from the "Democratic-Republicans", which brings up the argument of whether or not you should consider them the Democrats or not. (The D-Rs split up and the majority continued using just the name Democratic, so it kind of depends.)
But then you have the discussion about how long someone served? Should we count the number of times the US has elected a Republican or Democrat? R 23 / D 23 (not including any "Democratic-Republicans)
(Then you have cases of the "National Union" party, which only existed for the civil war election so what do you do there?)
Should we count how many years a Republican or Democrat has served as President? (Probably too much of a hassle to count, but it looks like Rs for a little over 90 and Dems a little over 100.)
Of course, given that this whole time period encompasses the third through sixth party systems it doesn't even tell you much about the parties themselves.

So, a little history for someone who likely has not read much about US history. You may not be aware, but the republican's and democrats switched sides in the late 1950s/early 1960s. The Party of Lincoln that freed the slaves became the party that fought tooth and nail to stop the civil rights movement....while the Democratic party, which did at one point help launch the Klan and push Jim Crow Laws....went the other way. It is a really well known shift in their political philosophies...one that the GOP does not like to publicize...

So, does the above mentioned thing still hold weight? It doesn't really. But I know you need to latch your small-minded ideas to something, and if this is the thing that makes you feel special...go for it....
That's too hard for phil.
He can't figure out which house is which already, as we saw with the Pelosi threads.

If you wait long enough, the Democrats will get a majority in the House.
Do you keep repeating the wrong number because it is like a poll and you don't care how accurate it is?
He just likes trolling, same as he did for the Pelosi hammer attack thread.
I don't think phil understands how foolish this makes him look.
Ammon Bundy led an armed standoff with the government. 100,000 people still voted for him.
His third-place finish in the Idaho governor's race was surprisingly strong.

You can count them yourself.

42 Bill Clinton Ark. Democratic 1993–2001
44 Barack Obama Hawaii Democratic 2009–17

That's 16. (I forgot before that Grover Cleveland gets elected twice so it can be 17 depending on how you want to count.)
