Reagan was a complete loser in my opinion. I can't believe people fell for the acting.

Level up: 53%, 72 Points needed | | The acting??? Come now. His ideas have been well documented thanks to Skinner, Andersen and Anderson. Many date back to the 1960's and 1970's all written in his own hand. The amiable dunce he was not, he has proven all doubters wrong about being an actor following a script. The ideas were his own, and he was smart enough to allow others to provide the details. Carter tried to micromanage everything and what happened during his administration? Does a double digit misery index ring a bell???

Ideas? He put this country in the crapper and turned us into a military state. And republicans think he is some kind of saint. He didn't do shit! He was a racist, homophobe who was probably losing it while still in office.

Just imagining what his foreign policy would be.
I can just see him in foreign relations negotiations. Deer Hunter anyone?
