I saw Reagan speak at the University of Nevada, Reno. A man of wit and substance. And great at talking to people. And for the most part an honest and honorable person. He could have won against almost anyone.
Jimmy Carter did great things after leaving office. A lot of other Presidents never did much of anything great at any point in their lives.
