No. Reagan had a certain quality known as "leadership" at levels few could ever match. That is why he is recognized as great. Baker was noble, but would have been a mere shadow of Reagan.

Baker was Chief of Staff, Senate Majority Leader and Senate Minority Leader.


I think he had leadership.

I didn't say he lacked leadership. He just couldn't match Reagan's levels.

If Baker had been president instead of Reagan the GOP wouldn't be in the sh*thole it is in today.

No. If Ross Perot didn't drop out of the 1992 race in the middle of summer, the GOP wouldn't be in the sh**thole that it's in today.

Given that your point of departure is later, I will concede that.

Opebo, perhaps you could delineate what it is you object to?  Was there some legislation he authored that troubles you?

No, it's the fact that he's a Republican. That and the fact that opebo is a far leftist.
