I agree. Much of Reagan's conservative influence and policies exist today and the GOP speak of this 40th president of the US as though he could walk on water. When Reagan became president, the homeless began appearing on the corner of every major metropolitan city in America.
To be honest, he wasn't much of a president but did a lot of damage. He made a deal with Iran to withhold the release of the 52 US embassy employees until AFTER his election. He used Israel as a conduit to deliver these weapons to Iran. After the election, according to plan, Iran released the hostages. By all account the action was treasonous! RR was shot in the lung, an assassination attempt, during his first administration and in the second he had a cancer removed from his colon. Truth be known, at the age 0f 69 when he became the oldest to run for the presidency of the US, he was already suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and his administration was run by John Poindexter, Chief of Staff, among others.
Being an actor by profession, RR was able to convince many of his followers he was a superior president!
