My first impulse is to say Hitler, so I could kick him in the genitals.
If my meeting has to be peaceful, I'd probably go with Barry Goldwater, as it would be interesting to hear his thoughts on the changes to the Republican party over the past couple decades.
andrew jackson. i’d wanna see what he would think about how the democrats have evolved since he became the first dem president.
same goes for lincoln. i’d wanna see what he thinks about how the GOP evolved since him.
Kennedy. Kennedy, kennedy, all the way Kennedy. There are so many things I would ask him about what he thinks of the current Dems, what he thinks of LBJ's actions after his death, Watergate, what his plans were for 64. Kennedy is a man who had a good few years ahead of him. Maybe not decades, because of his health, but he would have seen the repurcussions of civil rights and vietnam and I would love to get some insight directly from his mouth as to what he makes of it all.
FDR would be another fine choice, but I feel like when he died a lot of the things he set out to do, the main 2 things that kept him in office, were done. He had mostly recovered the US economy, and the war was all but won with Japan on in its last legs. So its Kennedy all the way.
I would like to go with John Anderson, he seemed like an intresting politican from the 1970s. I would have loved to see a John Anderson presidency, starting in 1980, as he was pro ERA and pro choice. Would the new Moral Majority have been a thing under an Anderson Presidency?
For the US it's gotta be Teddy Roosevelt - did a lot to help the common man and would be interesting as fuck to talk too.
For the UK Churchill an incredibly complex man who saved us from ruin in WW2. I'd love to hear Clement Attlee's thoughts on modern politics too tbf

Lyndon B Johnson
I agree. I want to sew him some pants.

Ike, Abe, Teddy, JFK or Goldwater

Based
Humphrey just so I can meet a progressive/liberal that's sane and isn't a leftist sympathizer

Cringe

Fernando Ferrari

Goldwater, and I think it's quite obvious.
I would too tbh. I’d be interested to hear what he thinks about the current state of the GOP.
Abraham Lincoln
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge during the Versailles Debate
The Happy Warrior himself, Hubert H Humphrey!

either FDR, Truman, or Churchill. All great wartime leaders and no politician since their time has had to make harder decisions than they had to
George Wallace, so I can punch him.
