I disagree - Reagan was always a conservative...it was the democratic party that left him!
I was 10 years old when Reagan was elected.
Never saw this speech , what a terrific ending. And he really meant it.
1984 speech at the convention in Dallas was great as well. And...Pavarotti sang! Those were the days...
Don't you wish the today's leaders in both the Repuplican and Democratic parties has his strength, conviction, and core basic principles? Sadly I in my honest opinion such leaders no longer exists in the Washington DC.
THIS IS hope. THIS is CHANGE.
It's hard to believe when you look at him that he was 69 years old. Didn't even have to dye his hair.
Well said. I think you're right about his electability. And I echo your sentiments about wishing he was POTUS today.
i dont care for what wrong he did becouse what right he did made us feel huge admiration love and respect and its only politician in world who fully deserved my respect
Joe Louis Arena must've been a magical place that night! Everything Mr. Reagan said about taxes & the economy in 1980 is happening all over again, except @ breakneck speed. As a true Conservative patriotic American, Mr. Reagan did warn us about the dangers of socialism. We cannot afford four more years of it under Obama, that's for sure! I wish Reagan had been nominated on the 1976 GOP ticket. The American people made the right choice in '80 & '84! Bless You, Mr. Reagan! R.I.P., Sir!
CPMS, don't forget Rendezvous With Destiny. Hell, all of Reagan's speeches were great, and he didn't need a teleprompter!
This speech could be given (changing a few names) today! Wow!
I am primarily Democratic, but I have to admit the guy was magnamic. He had IT.
It looks like a much younger George W Bush (in brown coat) and Laura (to his right) were sitting behind Bush 41.
37:15
2:35 and 38:15 show them from a distance w/ Laura visible
Boy, I wish we had a Great Leader Like Reagan now! Unfortunately, we don't have anyone who comes close!
i dont know what you talk about his ideals will be forever alive and he is forever alive at least for me and rest of Poland which loves him most of all, how ideals and beauty ever die....
You could use this speech now.
Reagan was a good man He was no JFK wasnt a fan of him as a president but he did end the cold war all the same set out the foundations of it Wished i was around that time meeting that man may he rest in peace nearly 10 years next year now since he went but he has my respect
Mr.President Reagan.Thank you for defending conservatism
The US Deficit in 1980: $60 Billion. The US Deficit in 2012: $16 Trillion. Ronald Reagan must be turning over in his grave to what both GW Bush AND Barack Obama have done to this country.
@SkullOfYorick Please don't leave out Newt Gingrich either.
Ron Paul or Newt Gingrich
This is the Gipper at his best. Republicans need to watch this and watch it again. Maybe it will help them to figure out where they have lost their way. Mitt Romney, you do not deserve to bear this man's mantle.
Sadly the leadership and ideals of Reagan are long gone. Today's GOP is totally lost, and they keep sinking as the years go by!
This video gives me the creeps. It's like he's talking about the current adminstration
Reagan could never get away with a speech like this, everything is too polarized. Also a man like Reagan could never get elected now because he is too Christian and religious (mind you I wish Reagan was our President now)
employment was booming well paid job better money ever there too
He sold weapons to Iran in order to fund the Nicaraguan Contras and lied about it.
His descendants likely forget this today
