I beg your pardon. As one who has spent a tour during the Cold War watching the Warsaw Pact nations perform maneuvers, I consider the fall of the Berlin Wall and the demise of the Soviet Union nothing more than a miracle. IMHO, Bush couldn't have made a pimple on Reagan's butt. Reagan may have had his missed pitches, but when at bat, he hit the ball out of the park. Now go sell crazy somewhere else, we're all full up here!
Is raising taxes TWICE "hitting the ball out of the park"? How about granting a blanket amnesty to illegal aliens?
Ronald Reagan was a great president, but he was not viewed as such while he was in office, even among many conservatives.
