I voted Reagan, but torn between him and Clinton.
Reagan cut taxes which spurred growth. Got us out of Carter's stagflation mess. Defeated communism. However, he raised the deficit, which wasn't good.
Clinton had less to dislike, but he did less as well. Clinton did nothing particularly bad. He was fortunate to have a very dedicated Republican congress that balanced the budget.
To get a truly good president, you have to go back to the 20's with Harding/Cooledge or even further back with Cleveland. Otherwise, most presidents have been pretty bad, or died too quickly (JFK)
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
