I'm not sure that this measure of Reagon is meaningful...I guess I look at the record and it's mixed at best.  He was certainly a politician and God things done so while he had conservative leanings he was not a Ted Cruz, tea party conservative.  In fact it's pretty clear he would have trouble in the current GOP.  And as far as sainthood, he's far from perfect...the Reagon recession hit Oregon hard.  Iran contra was a disaster.  And let's not forget, one of the largest flat tax increases was on his watch.
