I know this was already talked about before, but please tell me why/what the obsession/fascination is about Ronald Reagan ?
What did he do that was so great ? All I remember was living in a nightmarish hell during that time and saw nothing good in Reagan,
but the way that some of the candidates act like he was a god or something makes no sense. Someone help me understand more, Thanks in advance !

I am not sure, I was too young for politics then, but it is my feeling that the reason why his name is invoked so much by Republican candidates is because he was liked by both sides. In other words, there were Reagan Democrats - and I think they are reaching out to them.
