    He would've been president if Carnegie, Rockefeller, and Morgan hadn't paved the way for McKinley.

    Imagine a presidential campaign, today, between candidates like W.J.B., and, say Clarence Darrow!! Politicians who loved America and wanted what they considered the best for The Country and Her People!! We desperately need candidates like him today.

    WJB was actually a Christian and man of the people. Any comparison to Trump is ludicrous!!!!!

    I think the big difference is that Bryant really believed in what he said, while Trump is just telling people what he believes they want to hear.

    To his credit, Brian left his job as secretary of state because he knew that Wilson’s policies were leading us into World War I

    Yeah this is not a valid comparison. I would take Bryan anyday. I wouldn't want Drumpf to be the local dog catcher much less the President. One man had principles and beliefs while the other is a conman and grifter.

    What an insult to Jennings being compared to Trump. Jennings could at least name a Bible verse. Jennings was an actual populist, Trump is an elitist trying to act like a populist
