To use political jargon, Nikki Haley—who has lost primary contests in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and her home state of South Carolina—does not have a snow ball’s chance in hell of winning the GOP nomination for president.

Well, with all the crimes he committed against the American economy, I would not put Reagan on a high pedestal, but yes, at least he had the balls to counter the Russians.
You could say his economic crimes put us on the inevitable path to where the political system is today. Decrease in labor power vs capital, allowing capital accumulation and concentration into few hands, inevitably flowing into the political system to maintain that status quo. And here we are.
O no, fuck Reagan, but he at least knew the russians where not to be in bed with.
