The facts should never bother an "icon" I would think.
Actually Dipso forgot the Savings & Loan scandal and Reagan's immigration mess and what Reagan did per the 241 Marines who were killed in Lebanon. Reagan also initiated the huge deficit spending that now threatens to sink our nation. He also began the stupid "War on Drugs" that endures today.
As for "everyone" being dead...that is not true. Of the reported 144 members of Reagan's admin who where either indicted, charged, confessed, or were convicted of crimes (an all time record) one of them was actually in the current president's administration. So not all of them can be protected by the "dead" card.
Lot's of stuff to "look up" if you and the GOP candidates want to take a shot a at it.
