Imagine Alexander the Great and the Universal Kublai Khan

- were still alive and living in the United States as American citizens, and were congressmen running for President of the United States. Which would you think would be successful?

Those who are both keen and diverse on history are invited to share your thoughts on this subject. But please, be open minded to any historical facts that might be deemed a possibility of governing in today's society.

Kublai Khan. His governing skills are more suited in a "peaceful" and modern society than Alexander's.

Excellent. Anyone else?

Kublai Khan. His governing skills are more suited in a "peaceful" and modern society than Alexander's.

This, Kublai seemed more civilized and Alexander was a despotic warlord in my opinion.

Kublai is the one who united China as it is today.

Alexander the Great, Not only does he have charisma, him being the father of Hellenistic civilization, but dude knows how to unite different people. Seriously I could see Alex marching down the streets of Birmingham with MLK.

That credit goes to Qin Shi Huangdi.
