Williamlaughlin, that was not the question, keep your opinions to yourself. My opinion, Reagan was one of the best presidents we ever had. Must be mostly Democrats belong to this Quiz Club.

Nixon's name comes up first and most prominently. Is that what you're trying to say?

If you can name only one film out of his entire career of over 50 films to counter my point, then no, he wasn't even a good actor, but he probably had a good director who talked him through the performance.
As a film actor, he never won an Academy Award nor was he ever even nominated for one!
In fact, here is a list of awards your "great" actor has won:
In 1957 he won a Golden Globe, it was basically a Hollywood Citizenship Award. It was not for acting or any role he played.
He won a Golden Boot Award in 1992 along with 16 other actors, one of whom was dead.
In 1982, he won a Razzie Award in the category, Worst Career Achievement Award.
In 1960 he received a star on the Walk of Fame as a television star. Even if you’re not human, you can obtain a star. Animals who have stars include Lassie and Rin Tin Tin, as well as fictional characters like Winnie the Pooh, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Kermit the Frog, so his acting talent wasn't necessarily a critical criterion.
More often than not, Reagan played the supporting actor to the lead. He was also only featured in B movies. At the time, most theatres showed double features. Moviegoers primarily paid to see the A picture that starred famous actors, but were also shown a B feature as well. As a result, B films were generally low budget, hastily made, and poorly acted.
So much for Reagan being a "great" actor. If anything, his greatest performance came in trying to persuade us he knew anything about how the economy worked. Unfortunately, he failed there, too.

A worse politician? Success is measured by 'Winning,' As for the destruction of the middle class one has only to look at the evolution of industry to see a steady decling in the relationship between labor and product. Luddites may not agree but it takes fewer people each year to make more product. Our society has a higher percentage of BS artists than any in history.

No more than a B actor and a worse politician. With his administration began the great decline of the middle and lower classes in America and the redistribution of wealth to the 1%.
