Ronald Regan certainly had the eloquence, but he was not the intellectual equal of the Founding Fathers. His political philosophy was solid, but his greatest gift was delivering lines that his speech writing team devolved in a powerful, persuasive manner.

Sorry, but you couldn't be more wrong.

I grew up listening to and reading his speeches.

So did I. A brilliant communicator, a solid conservative and a great Patriot who loved America. Reagan himself never claimed to be a great intellect and either did Donald Trump, but they are two of America’s greatest Presidents. Praising the greatness of the Founding Fathers does not denigrate either man.
