Yes, thought I responded properly to your post asking about immigration. That Immigration law was an agreement between the Democrats and Reagan in that illegal immigration and border enforcement would stop after the amnesty for about 2 million who paid a fine, qualified under the law by learning English and has been in this country at least 4 years. Congress then never authorized funding for border enforcement which impacted illegal entry into this country nor did they address the millions here after 1982 who remained here illegally. Reagan had the right idea but again you don't negotiate with Democrats as Democrats won't adhere to their commitmentsDid you read my previous post? I think Reagan was a pretty good President. The CSPAN presidential ranking list had Reagan at #9.
Reagan, hands down. He was a great speaker and motivator, he won the cold war with the Iron Lady and Pope John Paul II.
None they all suck. We need to remove the concentrated power from these assholes.There are many polls on who you support for President in 2024 but haven't seen any that name the greatest President in your lifetime so how about it? Tell me who is your greatest President and why?
Mine has to be Reagan who took over an economy in a double dip recession with an extremely high misery index(inflation and unemployment). His economic policies started with the Recovery Act of 1981 and had ZERO gov't spending in it, total tax cuts for the American people leading to almost 17 million NEW jobs being created, inflation dropping under 4% from double digits, doubling GDP dollar growth on a budget that was 1 trillion dollars. Never benefited more from any President's economic policies and our foreign adversaries were put on notice leading to the tearing down of the Berlin Wall.
So rather than attack Reagan tell me your greatest President and why?
If you say so.The "Ask not what your country can do for you" President? Isn't that anti today's Democrat Party
And just what was the information, or do you forget?Lie us into War? Ok, do you know what Congressional oversight is? That committee has the same information as the President
Unless I'm mistaken, eisenhower, kennedy, johnson and nixon were all involved with the vietnam war. I do know nixon went behind the back of the president to speak to the enemy we were fighting in vietnam to ask them not to accept johnson's peace talks, he would give them a better deal after he was elected president and on went the war after he was elected.Didn't LBJ lie trick the American people into a greater conflict in Vietnam....the Gulf of Tonkin incident was a lie and it led to 50K unnecessary dead Americans in that worthless country.
Reagan. Hands down. Not even close.There are many polls on who you support for President in 2024 but haven't seen any that name the greatest President in your lifetime so how about it? Tell me who is your greatest President and why?

Funny, neither did TrumpComments like this make me wonder if you have any idea the role of the President
You didn't say anything about immigration. I am not criticizing Reagan about immigration. My point here is what part of Reagan's presidency actually appeals to present Trumpican party?Yes, thought I responded properly to your post asking about immigration.

Ok, I'll leave aside Reagan trashing the whole idea of government and financing mass murder in Central America.There are many polls on who you support for President in 2024 but haven't seen any that name the greatest President in your lifetime so how about it?

Carter won the Cold War through his human rights policy. Reagan supported mass murder and terrorism in Central America, promised he would and then did go slow on civil rights enforcement, said things that Medicare would make us slaves, said absurd things like the most terrifying words in English were "I'm from the government and I am here to help you."I tend to agree. Though I wonder if Reagan was good rather than great.
The most underrated imo is Truman. He had to take over from the absurdly pro Soviet and delusionary FDR who had treated him with contempt. Truman helped create NATO, saved Korea from the Communists - and saved the US from MacArthur.
I cannot imagine Reagan insulting people as Trump does, though people used to laugh at his "stretchers," often harmless falsehoods, nowhere near the harmful lies that Trump tells. Where they are similar is their rhetorical, and in Reagan's case financial, support of human right abuses overseas.You didn't say anything about immigration.

Sorry but WRONG - health care is part of the domestic welfare. Do you ever get tired of being wrong all of the time?Sorry, but WRONG, that isn't the role of the Federal gov't, whose only role is to PROVIDE for the Common defense and PROMOTE Domestic Welfare, Healthcare is a personal responsibility issue and that isn't in the Constitution
It’s Donald Trump, the first president since Calvin Coolidge to fight against the regime for normal people.There are many polls on who you support for President in 2024 but haven't seen any that name the greatest President in your lifetime so how about it?

An act of treason if ever there was.Unless I'm mistaken, eisenhower, kennedy, johnson and nixon were all involved with the vietnam war. I do know nixon went behind the back of the president to speak to the enemy we were fighting in vietnam to ask them not to accept johnson's peace talks, he would give them a better deal after he was elected president and on went the war after he was elected.
Thank goodness old personal responsibility Donald put a stop to that trend, eh?Wow talk about partisan jibberish, Truman said the Buck stopped at the WH, Obama said the Buck never got to the WH

Sure he did in that fantasy anti American world in which you live. Wonder if this lady was talking to you and how many others in this forumReagan supported terrorists in Nicaragua, a genocidal dictator in Guatemala, tried to oppose sanctions on apartheid South Africa and brought in a anti Semitic nutjob as one of his main advisors.
Never said that Trump was my choice although his results were right up there with Reagan pre pandemicThank goodness old personal responsibility Donald put a stop to that trend, eh?

Amazing isn't it all Trump allowed the average taxpayer too keep more of what they earned and people see that as pure Trump selfishness and promoting a massive gov't takeoverIt’s Donald Trump, the first president since Calvin Coolidge to fight against the regime for normal people.
