It is hard to compare the two. Reagan was the first president I voted for. It was a different time and what he did for the country was miraculous. The direction we were going under Carter was horrible and Reagan turned it around over night. The problems we faced in 2016 were different and called for a different kind of leader. Trump was the only person who could have turned things back in the right direction then. I think they both were perfect for their time and neither would have been as successful in the other persons time. I just feel lucky to have been around for both and will always wonder what would have happened in the next four years if the election wasn't stolen from Trump.

Agree, we need to be careful about viewing people in the times they lived.. Otherwise, why not criticize the founding fathers more for owning slaves?
Except the late eighties wasn't THAT long ago, and ultimately seeded the issues we are left facing at this time.
35 years is a long time and Reagan was more early mid 80’s.
