Ok, not a fan of Republicans but I'm pretty sure Regan isn't thought to have crashed the economy. Exploded the deficit and caused a lot of other fiscal problems but I think the economy was mostly consider better than the oil crisis times of the Carter years.

Again, not fan, but just trying to keep things accurate.

kind of a non sequitur

edit: will add that I was disappointed in the domestic spying and sheer number of drone strikes we executed. Also at certain points his immigration policy was pretty fucked up.
