A Democrat might have admired Henry Clay , as a man. while rejecting his policy. James Polk certainly did, even though he was a Jackson protege and Jackson hated Clay. FDR was like both Clay and Jackson, a man who drew others to him like a magnet. He had great courage, which is the greatest of all virtues, and great charm. And cunning, of course, and ruthlessness. A lion and a fox, as his biographer MacGregor said about him. I don’t think that Reagan was quite that. What we saw was what we got. He once made a film, the Hasty heart. Never met Reagan, but maybe THAT portrayal was very close to the real man.
