IMHO Reagan won on the strength of his personality and optimistic outlook for the USA not his conservatism

If the public was supportive of his conservative policies why in hell did they saddle him with a left wing congress that did nothing but harass him for 8 years

American voters for the most part don't even know how the government operates —just look how many more vote in presidential than congressional elections —what do these additional voters think congress is for

We've got a winner. You can pick your prize from the top row. His conservatism may have guided his outlook and personality, but it was because he healed a nation deeply hurting from Vietnam, Watergate, Iran Hostage Crisis, fuel shortages, inflation, stagflation, Resignation and Pardon. Actually things got worse under his administration than they were under Carter the first few years in office. That optimistic personality got us through.
