Re: Sheryl Sandberg was/is considering a run for President
Reagan was governor of California, so he wasn't coming in cold straight to the White House.
Yes, and as governor he was a serious policy wonk - he wasn't primarily a figurehead, as Bush II was, for example. (In Texas, the Lieutenant Governor does most of the actual head-of-executive-branch work.) And before that he was President of the SAG; anyone who doesn't think that's a political position, and a fraught one at that, doesn't understand Hollywood labor.
Reagan was not my favorite president by any means, and his mental faculties were definitely on the decline in his later years. But he was one of the more-qualified people we've had in that office, at least by job experience.
