      I would agree with you but Reagan is the main person responsible for allowing the rise of China; he advocated for them to get special trade status as a 'developing nation', which later got China into the WTO, which they somehow still have, despite being the worlds 2nd biggest economy!
      Thatcher was the person who ended free milk for school children, brought in the Poll Tax, started selling off social housing and privatised national services like Gas, Electricity and Railways. She did fine with the Falklands though but that doesn't make up for the wreckage she did to the UK, that other PMs have continued to do since.
      Gorbachev is only known to me for being diplomatic. I've no idea how good or bad he was for Russia overall.

      @@Thurgosh_OG In 1968 Edward Short, the Labour Secretary of State for Education and Science, withdrew free milk from secondary schools for children over eleven. His successor, Conservative Margaret Thatcher withdrew free school milk from children over seven in 1971, earning her the nickname "Thatcher, the Milk Snatcher". I guess it was not as easy to get Short to rhyme with something to point out that it was the Labour party who withdrew school milk first. On both occasions the reasons were sound though. The rise in quality of life and income meant that free school milk no longer needed to be provided. The deficiencies in diet leading to malnourishment and calcium deficiencies were no longer evident which is why Labour withdrew the milk. It simply wasn't needed. When Thatcher completed the withdrawal of free school milk, the same reasons applied but additionally, milk was found to be spreading disease amongst the children it was given to owing to how it was stored and distributed.

    In one of the earlier comments, someone stated tersely that Reagan's speechwriters gave him all his jokes. This is along the same vein as the frequent more general claim that Reagan's great ability to communicate came from his speechwriters, insinuating that he wasn't really all that intelligent. Funny thing is that Reagan's actual speechwriters say just the opposite.
    According to Peter Robinson, the Reagan speechwriter who wrote his famous "Mr. Gorbachev, Tear Down This Wall" speech, Reagan was very actively involved in writing his speeches -- much more so than, for example, George H.W. Bush for whom Robinson also worked. He described how Reagan would take speech drafts, mark them up extensively, often writing or rewriting large sections on his own (and Reagan's changes almost always were an improvement). Of course, like all great communicators who want to use humor effectively, he collected stories and jokes that he repeated. Nothing wrong with that.
    In Robinson's book, "How Ronald Reagan Changed My Life," he records that when he (Robinson) create the draft of the "Mr. Gorbachev, Tear Down This Wall" speech, he decided to address head on the contradiction between the presence of the massive Berlin wall and Gorbachev's claims to want more openness and freedom. This went against what Reagan's policy advisors and diplomats wanted ("too provocative"). Reagan loved the idea! Robinson said that he (Robinson) had struggled with the wording in that famous section of the speech and was talking about it with Reagan. Reagan interjected with something like, "So what you're trying to say is, 'Tear down this wall.'" So the most memorable part of the speech was Reagan's own words. And that was a common thing.
    Even in the car ride to the Brandenburg Gate where Reagan was to deliver the speech, his aids were trying to talk him out of leaving that part in. Reagan responded, "I'm the President of the United States, so it's ultimately my decision. I'm leaving it in because it's the RIGHT thing to say."
    Read Robinson's book, "How Ronald Reagan Changed My Life," and you will see that the real Reagan was brilliant, highly engaged, extremely well prepared and well-read, truly caring, and driven by a deep, well-understood and cohesive core philosophy -- very different from the false caricature the left has constructed over the years.
    Reagan was also a man of integrity -- GENUINE to the core. I hate it when people say, "Reagan was effective because of his acting ability." To which, I reply, "No, he was effective because he WASN'T acting!" And he was driven by a vision for the country that he was trying to fulfill. I once heard someone describe him this way: Most presidents want to be president because they want to BE something; Reagan wanted to be president because he wanted to DO something.

      Which of course is an homage to the famous quip Senator Bentsen made at the expense of Dan Quayle at the '88 Vice Presidential debate when after Quale said he had as much experience as JFK did when he ran for office, he said " I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine, and Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy"

    He was so charismatic and so likeable, even his political enemies couldn't help but love the man he was. One of his closest friends in D.C. was Tip O'Neil the top Democrat in the Senate and his biggest political enemy.
    We are in desperate need of someone like Reagan today, someone people across our entire country could disagree with politically but find impossible to dislike personally. I voted for John Anderson in 1980 because I was 20 years old, it was my 1st election I could vote in, and being a young, idealistic college student, I thought he was a much "cooler" option than Carter or Reagan. As I joined the workforce two years later and began to understand the "real" world, and as I started consuming the news, I voted for Reagan in 1984 and am proud to have been a part of the last great electoral landslide for POTUS in U.S. history. He was truly our last great POTUS.

      Not true. California has gone back and forth between democrat and republican. Reagan, Wilson, and Arnold were all republican governors of California. It's been a while, but there comes a point when enough Californians get sick of the liberal BS and elect a conservative governor. We're at that point.
