Reagan was a real conservative.
The 1980s are a lot different to the modern age. People's views have changed dramatically. The rates of illegal immigrants have increased significantly since the 1980s. The world's population has grown from 4 million in 1980 to almost 7 million in 2010.
Reagan was a B-Grade Hollywood actor and he was B-Grade US President. I personally can not recall a memorable Hollywood film that starred Ronald Reagan.
He survived an assassination attempt just weeks after becoming US President. Reagan survives an assassination attempt and he won over the support of the American people.
Reagan's tax cuts helped kick start the American economy by reducing high tax rates to more reasonable levels but the Budget deficits increased as a result.
The Bush tax cuts were a poor economic policy that spiralled the nation's Budget deficits.
