1. Abraham Lincoln 2. George W Bush 3. Food 4. Economy 5. Washington, DC 6. North Korea 7. Memphis barbecue 8. Nelson Mandela 9. Joe Barton 10. Speaking for #2 - first thought was Warren G Harding, but went with BushJr for points I do apologize, but this feud could have been better designed. Requiring one word answers for 3, 4 and 10 - especially 3 and 10, is artificially limiting as i can’t even provide very many one words answers and still be gramatically correct! Almost all the other questions are divisive based on region and/or politics. ---
