The latter I think he accomplished almost singlehandedly as a leader ... of course economic pressures were crucial.

What made Reagan great was his ability to communicate his conservative principles to the average person. He inspired hope after the failings of Nixon and the incompetence of Carter.

If Reagan is the greatest of the past century, Carter and GW Bush are running neck and neck for the title of worst.
