I am a Reagan Republican.

When Reagan left office, he was the most unpopular living president, apart from Nixon, even below Carter. If you look at his years in office, he was not particularly popular. He was more or less average. He severely harmed the American economy.

Several things about Reagan are unusual in a public man. He was not a typical politician at all, but a private man in public life.

Ronald Reagan was older than I was when he ran for president.

Ronald Reagan became, you know, not only a Republican but a pretty conservative Republican - not the most. But a pretty conservative Republican. And he's somebody that I actually knew and liked. And he liked me. And I worked with him and helped him.

I was a big fan of Ronald Reagan. He was the first president I got to vote for.

As his vice president for eight years, I learned more from Ronald Reagan than from anyone I encountered in all my years of public life.

I'm a conservative. I was an avid supporter of Ronald Reagan; I thought he was fabulous.

President Reagan was the quintessential Happy Warrior, and no one loves, respects, and admires Reagan more than I do.

Ronald Reagan's vision of smaller government, less taxes, and a strong national defense has led to a prosperous America. As president, he rebuilt our military and reinvigorated our confidence in ourselves.
