6. Who else do the Republicans have?

Nixon?

They really don't have a president who employed their ideals with any success except for Reagan, and it turns out he really didn't adhere to the true GOP philosophy of screw the poor and feed the rich to their current strict standards.

The only other Republican I can think of who tried their top down formula was Herbert Hoover, and even the craziest Republican today is loathe to highlight him as a great leader.

Mt Rushmore is a shrine to progressive politics.
