Is Ronald Reagan partly responsible for Donald Trump being president?

No picking HW was a great choice, as HW was one of the best VP's ever and was the best possible choice to succeed Reagan.


You wanna blame a politician for Trump, its Newt Gingrich , who shares much of the responsibilty for today's divisive politics.

Think about it, Ronald Reagan picked George H.W. Bush as his running mate. If George H.W. Bush never became vice president and then president, it wouldn't have led to George W. Bush becoming president. Dubya did a lot of damage during his presidency and that led to Barack Obama getting elected and having to clean up his predecessor's mess. Unfortunately, the Republicans were brazenly unfair to Obama and ruined his chances of having an outstanding presidency which led to Hillary Clinton losing to Donald Trump.

So basically if we didn't make the decisions that we did in the past none of what happened to
day would have happened?

Genius logic bro.  Genius!

There is a reasonable argument to be made that the anti-intellectualism cultivated by Reagan and perfected by W. Bush paved the way for Trump.

except Reagan's main adivsors werent anti intellectuals , and in many ways they were intellectuals .Milton Friedman , George Shultz , Art Laffer are all intellectuals .


Reagan also did better with college graduates than people who had a high school education or less

The Laffer Curve is the epitome of anti-intellectualism. Old School Coolidge style conservatives knew that the only way to balance the budget was to cut spending.

The laffer curve was in my economic text book in college and we were taught it .


It is correct as if taxes get to high the goverment will lose revenue, and in 1981 taxes were clearly too high .

You probably read about the Ptolemaic system in an astronomy textbook too.

Reagan single-handedly transformed the US from the largest creditor nation into the largest debtor nation in the world within 8 years. That's why Bush called it Voodoo economics in 1980.

The Laffer curve does not say that if you keep cutting taxes you will get more revenue, all it says is if you raise it beyond a certian point the amount of revenue you receive will decrease.

The fact that Reagan is responsible for W let alone Trump is hilarious .

If Clinton wasn't so unpopular in his first two years W  would have lost in 1994 meaning W never becomes president.
