    Destroyed America in a ton of ways Impossible for anyone after to own a house with any kind of job easily. Destabilised the middle class. Destroyed unions and made the current day job market of today where you are worthless snd replacable, doesnt matter how great you are, you're treated like trash. If someone's in boss man position and is a jerk you're screwed So much bs Started the outsourcing crisis, and the runaway dept that's been going on forever now But people love to romanticise this *he fought communism! * bs which like okay but... HIS POLICIES THO..... Yeah no crap he *looked good on camera* he was a actor.... He supplied weapons to enemies and also caved to terrorists multiple times. Ignored AIDS Epidemic While Tens of Thousands Died. Robbed the Social Security Trust Fund To Pay For Budget Shortfalls. Allowed Family Farms industry To Go Bankrupt. Caused Savings and Loan Industry to Collapse. Isn't he the one who destroyed Americans industrial power??? We can't produce anything anymore

USA is in crisis, I wish there will be someone as great as Reagan that will appear in the modern day. The future of America is fragile.

    You are not alone in your feelings. Might I suggest that the "person" that you are seeking is no one in particular. No, it is each and every one of us. "We The People" control our destiny. There have been a few good examples of "Citizen Leaders", Pres. Reagan being a good example. The worst thing good American citizens can do, is to do nothing. Your generation, led by those that feel like you, are the voice of our future, and the future of America.

    Aye to that. I myself have just turned 17. You guys speak the truth, it takes all of us standing together to preserve what we've had that no other country has truly replicated. This is an ongoing battle, and the crisis we're experiencing today is one of many that have happened before, and we must continue to work together and fight back against each wave of tyranny to return to the high moments of this great nation, like back then in his administration, and just 6 years ago.

    I'm a Democrat. This was when party didn't matter. I liked Reagan, both as a President, but more importantly, I respected him as a human being. His compassion. His words, and how he spoke them. They invoked emotion. I didn't like some of his policies, but I think he did more good than harm, and he made all of us better people.

    Party still doesn't matter to people with common sense. You listen to the facts, support those that support the people of the country (that would be EVERY man and woman who pays taxes) and you pick the person who will do good for the people and businesses as well but in a happy medium kinda way. With the best interests for both and still maintaining the rights and limitations to both and most importantly one who respects the office , upholds the laws and defends our country and our democracy and goes forth to improve our country for all of us, not just the rich or for a certain party or belief but for one nation for all under God.

    President Reagan was deeply patriotic and that was the source of his vision of what America could be, a vision he accomplished. He was wise, strong, compassionate and, most importantly, humble in the face of his office. In this speech he owns his successes and failures and shares his hope for the future of America in a tone both eloquent and relatable. President Reagan was an excellent communicator. I don't think there has been a president since who could connect so well with people and express so well what America stands for.

    Destroyed America in a ton of ways Impossible for anyone after to own a house with any kind of job easily. Destabilised the middle class. Destroyed unions and made the current day job market of today where you are worthless snd replacable, doesnt matter how great you are, you're treated like trash. If someone's in boss man position and is a jerk you're screwed So much bs Started the outsourcing crisis, and the runaway dept that's been going on forever now But people love to romanticise this *he fought communism! * bs which like okay but... HIS POLICIES THO..... Yeah no crap he *looked good on camera* he was a actor.... He supplied weapons to enemies and also caved to terrorists multiple times. Ignored AIDS Epidemic While Tens of Thousands Died. Robbed the Social Security Trust Fund To Pay For Budget Shortfalls. Allowed Family Farms industry To Go Bankrupt. Caused Savings and Loan Industry to Collapse. Isn't he the one who destroyed Americans industrial power??? We can't produce anything anymore

While the circumstances which our democracy is in right now i might see where you think differently, however despite these peculiar times our democracy has functioned as it was intended for over 200 years To this day it is the standard that all free nations look up to. While its not perfect and corruption and graft run rampant in our political system it is not the system that failed but the men and women elected to it. Our government is only as good as those elected to run it. Your idea that a single party system is the way to go is great if you like communism or support a Monarchy or dictatorship. Look around the world and find me a one political party system that works half as good as ours. You won't find it because it doesn't exist.

He's one of the many leaders that we could never imagine to this day to come back ever again. Reagan is a true patriot and a true definition of being President of the United States.

Our “aggression” has been to establish world peace. Stopping the spread of communism and terrorism has been the reason for our deployment of troops over seas for decades. As for the genocide of Native Americans it’s quite simply inexcusable however our country wasn’t what it is today. The world wasn’t what it is today.

But as I grew up under Ronald Regan, I soon learned that just because my grandfather didn't like him didn't mean anything. I loved listening to him. Even as a child, I found integrity in him. I trusted him. I sat through so many speeches that he gave. Everything in my house stopped when the president came on TV. I just knew in my heart he was right about a lot of things. It was an honor. I am proud to say that I remember him and his honest speeches.

    Not really. If you look at Reagans record, he was a union buster, and put into motion the terrible economy we deal with now with his "reaganomics" that caused the transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top, and the vanishing of the american middle class. Not to mention he made a deal with Iran to keep the hostages until he was president. He also inadvertently created al-Qaida who did 9/11. He was one of the worst presidents we've ever had. But he was very charismatic.

Being a small landmass, it doesn't take long to work out that a few strategically placed atomic bombs would annihilate the UK. Reagan single-handedly solved the nuclear arms race, reduced atomic weapon stockpiling and the world for once felt safe. We should all be thankful for this honourable President.

    @pa tamburrino his trade policies and job creation really didn't help a lot of people. People forget Reagan wasn't only a Governor in his life but like Arnold he was an actor before becoming any of those. Reagans policies destroyed minorities combined with his war on drugs, which gave minorities way more time than people of European American descent for the same crime, and he did little to nothing about it combined with various other policies. Unfortunately, compared to various other President he fell short but had charisma and was very likeable like JFK, Bill and Barack, which is most likely why he is remembered so well combined with what occurred with Carter similar to when Obama took over from Bush. Reagan was funny and knew how to move around a room of people. Trump was just bad all the way around because he could have been great but did little for the opioid pandemic, destroyed our environment more than what it is and create various policies that were almost anti-health and anti-education combined with rolling back civil rights and housing rights, etc. Reagan was a known racist as well and so was Nixon when they chatted over the phone. However, Nixon said the words and Reagan just laughed over the call (laughing makes him just as guilty as if he said the word or was in agreement). Nixon did usher in various good healthcare policies though even though he was a prick too. Reagan talked about inflation in his debates but couldn't really do much as it grew similar to how it normally does but that was one of his talking points during his debate with Carter. Carter wasn't as bad as people believe him to be, but he messed up during the war, which made some people probably view him as anti-American, but he is more of a man that likes to talk it out than blow people's heads off, etc. Carter did usher in the setup for Presidents to do foundations, etc. Sometimes I wonder what a second term of Carter would have been, but I don't wonder what a second term of Trump would have been or Bush Sr even though Bush Sr. was a way better President than Trump. Reagan is probably one of the better President in the Republican party outside of Lincoln and a couple others.

    That's why Donald Jr. Trump is having the opportunities to ruining the international systems and cutting off the role of the U.S in the EU and Asia.

    Dwight Eisenhower could crush Ronald Reagan in a hypothetical match up! The Republican Party needs moderates like Dwight Eisenhower instead of conservatives like Ronald Reagan!!!

    The greatest President in my lifetime. In 1971 I was a college Senior working backstage at the Opera House in SF. Then Governor Reagan was there for a political event and While he was waiting for things to get set up he took the time to have a 15 minute one on one conversation with me. We never talked politics but rather Reagan asked me questions about what I was planning to do with my life. He mentioned that whatever direction my life takes I should always have confidence in myself and never give up my dreams. He said stay positive and be the best person I could be. Over the years I’ve had several opportunities to work with several celebrities and politicians and I can tell you that Reagan was the most genuine politician I ever met. He was a real people person and his kindness truly came through.

Reagan and Mayor Alito were both really nice guys, totally unlike so many of the other politicians and entertainment stars I’ve met over my life.
