What "Competence" has the GOP had in decades? Reagan was really the last GOP president who did some things right, but also at the same time set in motion our current economic cycle that simply lets the rich gamble, keep the winnings when they win, then dump the losses on the tax payers when they lose.
Reagan was right in taking down the USSR. But that is about it.
Today's GOP wants to go back to the no rules, let the rich do whatever they want, policies that ended up in the Great Depression. America since Reagan has only been hanging on by a thread, but still lead to Bush Jr's housing/bank/car crash.
