Reagan was an amateur. He went from acting, to CA governor, then to WH, yes? Not your typical slimy professional politician like 99% of Congress and The Senate.

He would receive about as much support as Ross Perot or Ron Paul, guaranteeing a D win.
He would be much better served in a Governorship in his homestate of Michigan. Clean up Detroit, balance the budget and do what he can for Michigan.
But as an "Amateur" Pollytickian, I don't see how he could do any worse than the Halfrican we currently have in the office.
We know that our troops would be respected and a sense of exceptionalism would return to the nation.
Reagan had a lot of political experience...he was governor for 8 years and worked on many campaigns prior to that. His 8 years as governor is more than Obama's year and half in the senate and his presidency. Reagan had plenty of chief executive experience...Obama was a community organizer.
I agree that Nugent wouldn't stand a snowball's chance and would only cost the GOP precious votes. There's GOT to be some worthy Republicans, somewhere....
If the goal is the stack the deck as deep as possible against the Republicans, then by all means, have Nugent run!
Maybe Nuge should run as a Democrat....
Allen West. Rumor has it he's running for a senate seat in Florida in 2014. Unfortunately, it's a long process. There's going to be a lot of short term pain in exchange for long term payout for the Republican party. It needs to be purged of the McCains and Boehners. That will take time.
I think there is more to being a good president than liking guns. I might not vote for someone over a single issue but I am not going to vote for someone over a single issue.
^^^ So, you might not vote for someone who's anti-gun, but you might vote for someone who's anti-gun.
