@Jonathan Kent This comment tells me you know absolutely nothing about Ronald Reagan's life prior to his public service life. Reagan went through some very rough years after his divorce from his first wife, Jane Wyman. Reagan did things that he wasn't proud of before he found and married Nancy. But...back then the country believed in the restoration and redemption of men and women. The problem with you is that you sit on your holier-than-thou sanctimonious perch looking down on Trump and Melania without giving him and her the benefit of repentance in their lives. Our nation has always been a nation of second chances and forgiveness. And people like you in the world is one of the major reasons why our country is so screwed up.

@Jonathan Kent Spoken like a true Christian hater. How tolerant of you? You know nothing about Jesus/God or the difference between Him and religion. I never turned my back of Jesus and I am the only person in this conversation (?) that actually WORKED on Reagan's 1980 campaign. So don't preach to me about Reagan. The difference between me and you is that you are so busy judging Trump's life and hating on the man that you aren't paying attention to the real fight that Reagan warned us all about and is now here....the fight against communism that he told us was just one generation away. And here we are...worrying about stupid crap instead of what is really important...saving our Republic. Go ahead...hate on the man... But when President Harris and her Antifa goons come to your front door and drag you out to a re-education camp or worse...think about how you didn't listen to Ronald Reagan's warning.
@cianbroderick4145

Marcia Diehl so we can’t judge trump blindly but you are free to make statements like that about Harris’ antifa goons? (Literal anti fascists, sort of like what Reagan was a riotous believer in). Remember when Reagan and his Hollywood goons wasted hours of time in a court because of some actors affiliation with communist thought? Big government doesn’t have to exist when Hollywood are doing all the heavy lifting lol. What did you even like about Reagan’s administration? Yes he was more open to world peace than most republicans (massively low bar there), but held onto unnecessary weapons. Complained throughout his administration about Carter failings when it came to the hostages in the Middle East and yet took him years and a great deal of back door sleazing to do it. Again, like almost all of those in the Republican Party, Reagan confused “common sense” and politeness for pragmatism
As husband and wife, they tried hard to love each other, helped and supported each other and made each other happy mostly. Even teeth and lips will disagree once a while and get along each other again quickly again. As the former President Reagan and the former 1st Lady Reagan, they supported each other to govern by our country America’s own established principles together always too. It’s a interesting interview and learning experience from it too. Criss Wallace was so young that time.

@@Alex-pn5sh Liberals hated Reagan as much as they hate Trump now. They just had more manners and kept their mouths shut...especially after Reagan's incredible landslide victory of 1984. Suddenly the liberals discovered that they were living in their own little bubble and the rest of the country was very satisfied with Reagan's policies and leadership. If Reagan were president today, the current media would treat him just as badly as they treat Trump. Because I remember vividly how they treated Reagan when he ran for re-election....and they were vicious to him.

@John Sylvyn We don't think the Conservatives will save us, we are Conservatives. The difference is we believe God will save us, and He has been doing that. We believe compared to the modern extremist Democrats who are borderline Communist, that Conservative, Republican presidents will uphold the constitution and provide more security than the modern Democrat candidates. For example, instead of abolishing or defunding the police, Republicans want to make sure that our police are taught and given what they need to protect us. Democrats could literally care less about law enforcement.

Wise up. At 3:45 Nancy instigates the dog's mouthing behavior by flapping and flitting her hand in the pup's face, her body language tense and pulling away, inviting the dog to "come on, get me" - then blames the dog for grabbing the bait she was waiving in his face. Dog training is for the dog OWNERS not the dog alone. Clueless people, without basic common sense. It's clear Nancy is unkind. And in Ronald's last years with Alzheimer's, Nancy was brutally unkind towards him too.
Make no mistake Nancy Reagan was the key team member in the Reagan administration.
God I wish times were still this simple
I only clicked because of the dog in the thumbnail and wanted to see the context of that 🙈
Nancy would always displays the loving gaze every time Reagan makes speeches and she listens to his voice with such of an awe expression on her face. She sure does show true love with her husband and more so, she's was not afraid to show it.
Everyone knows the former President Reagan and his wife the 1st Lady Nancy Reagan are always love, care and support each other in their entire life. However, I believe that leaving their own private life themselves and best wishes to them from our hearts will be more than enough. Too many questions will leave them less own privacy too. President Reagan’s and President Bush’s perfect family life spirit are worthy for us to learn. I guess unselfishness and honesty and loyalty by principles toward each may well help. They will always live in our hearts.
Chris Wallace is just asking to get punched in the face
