Ronald Regan If You Please

I have no idea why I liked Ronald Regan the best. 
I do not remember or care if he is a Republican or a Democrat.
I possibly admired him because he was in a movie with a monkey.
He seemed like a genuine person, approachable and kind.

If you have guessed I am not into politics big time,
You would be exactly right.  I do not “do” politics, being an independent. 
I do not get crazy about football games either, except for the KC Chiefs. 
I am crazy about Patrick Mahomes because he is adorable. 

I never liked Nancy Regan, or Regan’s first wife, Jane Wyman.
I adored Ronald Regan, always picturing him letting a monkey crawl all over him. 
I guess I like movie stars who become president; it’s my only reason.
Or maybe it is just because he seemed like a really nice guy.
