Reagan vastly widened the envelope for Presidential bullshit. The Teflon President because nothing stuck. He didn't know native Americans were citizens, he constantly made up stories to 'prove' points, he frequently used annecdotes from movies not knowing they never happened, he tried to pass off ketchup as a vegetable and almost certainly kept a diagnosis of Alsheimers from the voting public.

I think one of the main reasons W. was ever able to run is Reagan having proved you can play President instead of being one.

He 'kicked ass'? Yours wasn't even in diapers. He was befuddled figurehead who presided over a group of mildly facistic ideologs, some of were convicted of serious crimes, some of whom currently work for W. and at least one who did both.

Nazi? No. Brain addled B Actor ? Yes.
