I have watched Republican after Republican praise him for being a model of a great president. I will not disclose my personal views of Reagan at this time I am just curious of your views.
But why? I mean there are ways to support either side.Depends on the criteria. I would say sure he was a good President.

He was one of our worst presidents. He was a coward and left Lebanon after the bombing which paved the way for OBL to do his thing. His voodoo economics made our economy a shambles. He was a union buster, i.e.,the air traffic controllers. He deregulated in such a way as to help bring about all of our current economic problems, his lack of understanding of AIDS and drug addiction paved the way for ignorance about both of those topics. His wife was a ninny and ;his kids were without merit.
He was one of the worst presidents in history, along with Hoover, Bush and the rest of the republican cabal of numnutz.
Reagan was a cowardly President and a complete fool.
Why do some republicans like cowardly Hollywood actors that have sound byte 'jokes"?
His role before POTUS leading the Disney parade and being a charming old fool was perfect for him.
Why do some "others" like peanut farmers like Carter, or a texan like LBJ? For that matter why do some like the current President?
Voted no - I lay the blame for starting our deficit mess at Reagan's feet, He cut the tax rate on the rich substantially and borrowed heavily to continue spending at the same level. Our economy has not since - and may never - recover from Reagan huge blunder.

and yet those who followed him did little to stop the spending. (exception Clinton).
his spending was based on the fact that the dems loaded up any defense spending bill with tons of socialist pork
All personal opinion with no substance to back it up. Telling you listed only Republician Presidents. Guess you thought Carter, and LBJ did a great job. Telling your blaming a President for AIDS and drug addiction issues. Your not much for personal responsiblities are you? Guess you think it is much better that the Govt. takes care of you?
Was President Reagan one of the worse, IMO, no. Was he one of the bests, IMO, no.
