I dont get the Harry Truman love. Because he gave orders to nuke an entire city?

Liberal leaning board?  I think he did a lot in the post WWII world to rank as one of the best presidents of all time. May have prevented a WWIII with not only the use of the nuke but more with his European diplomacy. |

The Marshall Plan and desegregation of the military and federal government were pretty substantial things that Truman did.

Actually, 2 cities. But the issue here for me is the matchup. While Grant was a heckuva general, he is widely considered one of the worst presidents in U.S. history. He was clueless, let his cabinet run things (and they were a corrupt bunch), and the Union's treatment of the South during Reconstruction was deplorable and left a nation still divided. I like Grant the person. But Grant the president would come in on my list as bottom 5 all time.

Yeah, I feel like Grant is doing well because of his status as a Civil War hero moreso than for his actual presidency.
