| Topic | Why is Ronald Reagan so highly regarded as a US President? |

I think Dems at this point mostly hate him, and Republicans mostly forget about him because Trump is the new god, but I definitely remember when he was widely seen as one of the model presidents. I looked at some recent president rankings and he was doing much better about 10 years ago, I feel his stock has fallen a lot since then. I also think he really did a lot for the rich, and that was where his major fanbase was coming from. He almost invented the term trickle down economics, he also was great at acting like a fun old grandpa which endeared him to people. His "Oh shucks, America!" thing played very well with people back in the 80's. He also was given almost full credit for bringing down the Berlin Wall they played that clip "Mr. Gorbechev tear down this wall!" thing a bunch. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
