He made peace in the Middle East! He was ahead of his time environmentally and actually walked the walk, not just talked the talk. The great works and activism that he and Rosalyn have done in the decades since are unmatched by any President and First Lady.
The more the Republicans bring up their hero Reagan, the more we prove just how racist, corrupt, greedy, and inept he actually was. His stock continues to fall.
