That wasn't his background and Hollywood was a wild place.
OTOH, most people of his generation didn't swear all that much and certainly not in front of children.
Why would you think that Reagan was “so refined” ?
You clearly have no clue who and what Reagan stood for and was capable of expressing.
I doubt you will actually watch the entire video.
“A Time for Choosing” by Ronald Reagan
Refined?
Defined.

Exactly my point. My father was of Reagan’s generation; in fact, my Dad was born only 6 months later, in 1911. Generally, men back then had better manners and more self-control of their impulses. It was just instilled in them, by their parents. And it’s not something that modern folks can’t learn, even if they are Trump’s age.

G’NITE, again :-)
