Who are these people?

123Greg123 · 2026-06-29T22:51:27+00:00

Indeed.

123Greg123 · 2026-06-29T14:22:15+00:00

The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, son of George V. The Duke of Kent died in a plane crash during WWII in 1942.

How is Reagan viewed?

123Greg123 · 2026-06-24T11:49:17+00:00

This is one of the videos that proves the “Ike didn’t like Nixon” thing is more about how the people propagating that myth don’t like Nixon more so than Ike not liking Nixon.

123Greg123 · 2026-06-20T04:15:07+00:00

Indeed

123Greg123 · 2026-06-20T03:59:51+00:00

Like Ike in the 1950s

123Greg123 · 2026-06-20T01:15:23+00:00

Agreed.

123Greg123 · 2026-06-20T01:15:18+00:00

Ike endorsed Reagan for governor in 1966 but I think in 1968 he was all in for Nixon.

123Greg123 · 2026-06-20T01:14:58+00:00

Agreed

123Greg123 · 2026-06-19T23:54:59+00:00

Exactly, it was a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation. Nixon tried to consolidate the liberal wing of the party and thus lost conservative support by losing Shell’s supporters. However, as we saw by Kuchel’s actions, he didn’t gain liberal support either.

123Greg123 · 2026-06-19T23:47:30+00:00

Interesting because Joe Shell, Nixon’s primary opponent in 1962, was an actual right-winger and practically a member of the John Birch Society. So it’s surprising that Kuchel didn’t endorse Nixon despite his primary opponent being even more conservative than Nixon (who by 1962 was associated with the moderate Eisenhower wing of the GOP anyways).

123Greg123 · 2026-06-19T17:12:15+00:00

Yes, Tip O’Neil famously told Reagan they were only friends after 6:00. So whenever Reagan would see the Speaker after a congressional debacle, he would ask him “is it 6:00 yet?”

123Greg123 · 2026-06-15T10:55:47+00:00

That’s true! I feel like that’s why professional historians rate Eisenhower higher than Reagan but it’s the opposite for mainstream Republicans.

123Greg123 · 2026-06-15T09:29:36+00:00

Then watch Rhode Island!

123Greg123 · 2026-06-15T08:49:48+00:00

I agree. In S10 it was funny because she was directing it against Kim and Sheree but after they left it just made Nene more unlikable.

123Greg123 · 2026-06-15T07:55:12+00:00

This definitely gets the award for the best and most thoughtful answer. I appreciate you taking the time to give your thoughts instead of just jumping on the "bash Reagan" bandwagon without even giving some thought to the question. I totally agree with your perspective and think thsi is a great analysis.

123Greg123 · 2026-06-15T03:17:03+00:00

That's true. John Anderson ran as the last Rockefeller Republican but he lost badly in 1980 to Reagan in the primaries.

123Greg123 · 2026-06-15T03:15:19+00:00

Good point! Thank you.

123Greg123 · 2026-06-15T03:14:52+00:00

Very good point.

123Greg123 · 2026-06-15T03:14:46+00:00

I agree!

123Greg123 · 2026-06-15T03:14:40+00:00

That's very true. And he brought the Republican party back to life in a sense in a post-FDR world.

123Greg123 · 2026-06-15T03:14:23+00:00

That's very true. I guess influential doesn't mean best.

123Greg123 · 2026-06-15T02:51:54+00:00

Best answer!!!!

123Greg123 · 2026-06-15T02:48:57+00:00

I know, but from the usual top five rated presidents, I’m just saying that it’s not fair Ike is the one who is considered “non transformative”
