The Raptor

A good account of history. He looks good next to Trump. The movie focused a lot (too much) on Soviet involvement. Dennis Quaid did a good portrayal, particularly the facial expressions. The plot dragged on at times. It could have been a good half hour shorter. ,Reagan did some great things, like "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" Two years later it was gone. I don't agree with a lot of his politics. An interesting time and an interesting slice of history. He was my fraternity brother: TKE (Tau Kappa Epsilon). Mods, feel free to move this to Politics.

Be interesting for me to watch I was a kid when he was President don’t remember much. I do remember when he was shot and also Nancy Reagan’s war on drugs and that he liked jelly beans.

When I visited the Jelly Belly factory some years ago, they had giant portraits of famous people made of their jelly beans. One was Reagan. Another I remember was Joe Montana.

He was a great president. We need another one like him.

When I was working I would quote Nancy Reagan a lot.
"Just say No!"
This was usually in relation to really dumb ideas or proposals et cetera.

From what I've seen these days that is not a word parent's ever use with their kids anymore.

He was an OK President. Like most, his administration was a mix of good and not so good. He was a tremendous speaker and apparently a very likable individual.

And Nancy ran things for the last 2 years.
