Reagan was no Reagan
Charles Krauthammer reminds us that no candidate is perfect:
Well, what about Reagan? This president, renowned for his naps, granted amnesty to three million illegal immigrants in the 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli bill. As governor of California, he signed the most liberal abortion legalization bill in America, then flip-flopped and became an abortion opponent. What did he do about it as president? Gave us Sandra Day O’Connor and Anthony Kennedy, the two swing votes that upheld and enshrined Roe v. Wade for the last quarter century.
Via Hot Air.

He was pre-alzheimers near the end, but at least he could own up to failures on his watch, and he wasn't afraid of talking to his critics or attempting to persuade them around to his way of thinking.
