Yep… and yea, he was right… but many people were right, and a lot of them right here on SI going back to before 2000. This business that Dems did it all is hilarious.

Hillary Clinton ranks last on U.S. 'most admired' list, behind Rush Limbaugh, Bush
By PAUL BEDARD | JANUARY 12, 2014 AT 1:56 PM

(The story has a graph here which did not copy.)

Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state who leads all 2016 presidential polls, ranks dead last on a new top 10 poll of who Americans admire most, and at the bottom of who the world admires most, behind celebs like Angelina Jolie and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

According to the new YouGov.com poll conducted for the Times of London, Microsoft's Bill Gates is the most admired person in the world, ahead of Pope Francis and President Obama, the runner-up on that list. Clinton ranks 27th on YouGov's world list.

On the U.S. list, she does even worse, coming in 10th of 10 listed and most named. Among Americans, Pope Francis is the most admired, followed by the president, evangelist Billy Graham and former President George W. Bush. Even Rush Limbaugh, the nation's most popular conservative talk radio host, beat Clinton. He came in ninth.

For the poll, YouGov went to 13 countries that hold more than half the world's population and asked people to name who they admire most. Only those living were allowed to be listed.

Obama and the pope dominated this lists in many countries. For example, in France, Obama was the top pick. In Germany it was the pope.

But Clinton, who plans to run on her record as a world diplomat, doesn't show up in the top 10 of the other highlighted lists in the YouGov poll online.

U.S. secrets tattletale Edward Snowden appears up on some lists, including Russia and Germany.

Even Clinton is ranked behind President Bush 43.
