“Reagan was also the successful two-term governor of the most populous state in the nation.”
And what was Reagan before he became Governor?...
An actor. With even less political-related experience than O’Donnell had.

He was president of the Screen Actors Guild before he was Gov. He was also ~55 at the time.
