If I were to pick a democrat first lady that I admired it would be Lady Bird Johnson. She did more to beautify America than anyone else I know. And being married to LBJ? She also had class and dignity.
She was into the occult too much for my liking.
Yes, I loved Nancy Reagan. She got a bad rap from the press but she was great! Melania was very good and got a worse rap from the press.
“My fave was Nancy Reagan. She had class.”
She might’ve had class but was wasn’t too savvy politically. I think she had no conservative ideas or foundation. In 2007, she hosted an event featuring Teddy Kennedy at the Reagan Library. Maybe she did get involved in actual political issues, but I don’t remember it.
After RR died, I heard her being interviewed about their relationship. She said nothing about him being a good person, or about his contributions to the country.
She said her most important thing was that being his wife made it possible for her to meet people and go places she wouldn’t have done otherwise.
To me, it sounded shallow, and demeaned him.
And the astrology thing ... creepy.
