I don’t.

Trump was fantastic.

But you have to measure presidents by their challenges. Reagan had to defeat the Soviet Union without blowing up the world. Yet he did it. In fact, despite the few casualties in Grenada (I don’t think you can put the Marines in Lebanon in the same Cold War category), Reagan defeated the USSR almost without losing a man. This is by far the most titanic military victory in human history, dwarfing Napoleon’s surrounding of the Austrians at Ulm (100,000 surrendered) by vast orders of magnitude.

Al Hunt is a moron on PBS. He compares Liz Cheney to Reagan? When Bush and Cheney were in office, they talked about how different Bush was from Reagan.

You are absolutely right.

It really is an incredible achievement to defeat the Soviets without losing many lives...and paving the way for perestroika. He helped the Russian people gain freedom.
