    I feel like one thing we should do when we’re trying to rank senators is put away our own biases and just look at their entire impact as a whole and did it negatively affect the state or does it possibly affect the state, I think that’s the best way to rank senators.

    I really liked the video. Although I would say that Ted Stevens was the worst senator from Alaska. I actually thought about making one of these, but for members of the House of Representatives from the 20th century. I always love to find another good history channel to follow.
