Tyler: "I can never consent to being dictated to."

Tyler: "My own personal popularity can have no influence over me when the dictates of my best judgment and the obligations of an oath require of me a particular course. Under such circumstances, whether I sink or swim on the tide of popular favor is, to me, a matter of inferior consideration."

Tyler: "Parties are continually changing. The men of today give place to the men of tomorrow, and the idols which one set worship, the next destroy."

Tyler: "Popularity, I have always thought, may aptly be compared to a coquette - the more you woo her, the more apt is she to elude your embrace."

Tyler: "A manufacturing nation is, in every sense of the word, dependent on others. Look to England! Cut off from the markets of the world, misery and ruin await her."

Critics Rant: He was also courteous but unable to start a small talk with a stranger.

Critics Rant: It was evident that John Tyler lost a few allies on his journey until his administration. The reason behind it is because he does not base his decisions on the relationship; instead, he wanted to make concrete decisions based on ideas and concepts.

Critics Rant: Maybe one of the main reasons why his political party dropped him was because John Tyler became a nuisance because of his firm disposition. He was passionate about authentic ideas than being dictated what to do. There are few prominent people he got close acquaintance. Despite the distance he had set, John Tyler was good at developing an insightful and unbiased interpretation of other people’s intentions.

Critics Rant: He viewed life as a significant and complex machine. In his service in the House of Representatives, he was able to analyze how his interest connects to the decisions and votes he might make. He much opposed proposals for strengthening federal powers because it might affect his plantation and slave ownership. He anticipated the abolishment of slavery.

Critics Rant: John Tyler does not intentionally want to make the people drift away from him; however, his frankness tends to hurt someone else’s feelings and even ego. He is a firm believer of truth and expected it was appreciated and reciprocated, but it was the other way around. He forgot to take any emotional consideration as he dismissed subjectivity in his ideas and the policies he approved.

Critics Rant: It was evident in his life that he often bypassed the rules when he vetoed many bills passed by Congress and fell in love with a young woman five months after his wife passed away. He exhibits so much autonomy in his decisions.

Critics Rant: He proved himself loyal to his wife, Letitia. John Tyler was able to address the conflicts that arose, especially if John Tyler needed to finance his children’s education and personal expenses, which led him to prioritize his career interests. He was able to provide physical and intellectual needs; however, he exerts little effort emotionally.

Critics Rant: Despite John Tyler’s inability to identify his raw emotions towards his children, he was incredibly dedicated to encouraging his children to think independently, seek out knowledge and speak up and defend their opinions, unlike giving the traditionally emotionally supportive parenting.

Critics Rant: John Tyler was solitary, eccentric, and independent. He was mainly interested in exploring and building ideas to support and solve the issues. He also had very high standards in his works because evidently from his service in different government positions, “good enough is not good enough.”

Critics Rant: He is always out and about to feed his desire for intellectual stimulation and satisfaction. John Tyler addressed the wish of Florida and Texas to join the Union to put the final pieces of a puzzle in an unorthodox but effective solution in his term as the president.

Critics Rant: As a leader, John Tyler was tolerant and flexible. He was open to reasonable suggestions and recommendations. John Tyler also provided relative freedom to his subordinates; however, this freedom comes at a loss. It needs to address his very high standards, expect them to grasp his insight, and eventually provide his own instantly.
