    I am a 66-year-old man and I feel so fortunate to have lived during the years this man was the President of the United States. President Reagan (In my opinion) was the greatest President of my entire lifetime.

    I’m a Brit, and looking at Ronald Reagan from a non political point of view, I think he was a nice guy who tried his best. Seemed like a very approachable guy with a sharp wit and a deep sense of duty doing a very difficult job. After all, you can’t please all of the people all of the time. The world, as I see it, needs more people like him.

      Reagan never demonstrated any scholarly understanding of the religion that he professed to believe in. He dodged active military service during the Second World War. He ignored the suffering of the poorest Americans and identifiable minority groups. Reagan increased the federal debt, reduced taxes at the cost of domestic programming.

    White House staff felt that the Reagans treated them all as family, warm, approachable. Not demanding.
    People cried when they left.
    Those same people - the ones who stayed on - felt demeaned by the condescending Clintons.

      Actually, they loved both of them. I do, too. If they were alive, they would’ve voted for Hillary in 2016 and Biden in 2020 because they would’ve known that it should be country over party. Trump has hijacked the Republican Party. It’s no longer the Republican Party. It’s now the Party of Trump.
