    Seriously, most people still have no idea how evil Reagan really was. He did a lot of damage to this country that led to the situation we are in now.

      Regan’s lawyers that were pissed he couldn’t do what he wanted were involved in 2000’s election bullshit and are currently sitting on the supreme court

      Reagan was just following the well trodden path that Jackson and Wilson blazed, and Nixon trimmed the edges.

      The only reason that I put Jackson into a tie with Wilson for worst president is that Wilson did far more long term damage, but Jackson orchestrated The Trail of Tears, and several other genocides, as well as paid off the national debt entirely. This helped contribute to the longest and deepest (by percentage, not dollar amount) depression the country has ever seen.
