Now led, we all know it was years after his presidency he got Alzheimers...he was sharp as a tack when he was president...just look at any of his NSC briefings that have been declassified....especially the one 2 days after the Marine Baracks debacle in Lebanon, when he is deciding on giving the go ahead for Grenada....and his political advisors tell him NOT to, especially so soon after Lebanon...
When he lectured them on on doing the RIGHT thing for America vs. doing the right POLITICAL thing for yourself....it makes you YEARN for a REAL leader again....
Now as for George Schultz, when he was drunk you didn't WANT to remember him...
But he could negotiate with the Soviets no matter HOW much Wodka they fed him....
No, Reagan was the "Real Deal."
