I am prepared to take the heat for the following statement.
I believe Reagan was the best president of our era.
However...He was disparaged a lot during his terms.
He became the “best” after he left office and in retrospect.
"I am prepared to take the heat for the following statement. I believe Reagan was the best president of our era. However...He was disparaged a lot during his terms."
Why would it even matter to you in the first place if a bunch of economic illiterate leftists disparaged him?
Not to me and millions of Americans, we knew that a giant was in the White House during the Reagan years, we knew that we were living through the presidency of a major historical figure.
That was the main reason for all of the enthusiasm and confidence during the Reagan years globally, people knew that Reagan was changing the rules and was altering the state of the world.
“Reagan...was disparaged a lot during his terms.”
And before. Remember the disparaging phrase “voodoo economics”?
It’s funny now to hear Jeb pretend his dad and Reagan were ideological soulmates.
But Jeb’s probably just frustrated that he’s not going to inherit the dynasty.
