| 81. I didn't like Reagan as president, but was sad for he and his family regarding alzheimers |
|
His family suffered as much as he did. Also, his daughter Maureen died before he did-that had to have been hard for him to deal with in his condition at the time. I never liked Nancy much, but there was no way not to feel sympathy for her while watching his funeral-she looked so exhausted and frail herself, even though she was always a pretty tough woman (in the political sense) prior to that.
