If you accept the notion that Reagan may have ushered in the closing of the great American middle class all the GOP presidencies since Ike have been bad for the USA.
Nixon, Bush II. I guess G.H.W. Bush can be an exception.


It struck me that a some of the younger GOP candidates were kids when Reagan was in office and thus may not know his true significance.
True. They only know the legend, the stories that their parents who were 18-25 years old and drunk half the time in the 1980s, tell them. As we've all seen, the longer St. Ronnie lies in his grave, the more pristine and God-like he gets.
