I love Ronald Reagan.

Why every Republican politician doesn't try to be just like him, I simply do not understand.

A while back I posted his great Time for Choosing speech in 64. It is unbeleivable!

You mean the one with this...

"This is the issue of this election. Whether we believe in our capacity for self government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite, in a far distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves" - Reagan October 27, 1964

They can't be like him, because he was the real deal. He is among the few presidents who were born into a poor family.

He grew up needing to help support his family. His father was a pass out in the front yard drunk. Those kind of issues tempered his character and gave him an understanding and perspective on challenges in life. What we need are politicians with character. Character above self interest.
