Both recessions weren't each others faults, but Reagan handled his A LOT better obviously. Of course, people will just vote on ideological grounds rather than performance.

This of course is an ideological statement.

Hoover was a smart guy who could have been a great President but decided to sink the economy by allowing the Smoot-Hawley Tariff. Considering the importance of trade post WW1, anyone who would push for a tariff certainly isn't fit to hold any office.

Reagan on the other hand was great at being an actor, which is why America is still in love with him, despite Iran Contra, and ballooning the debt, and trying to bring back friggen battleships, and all the other terrible things that were allowed to happen.

Between the two Hoover is the better no doubt.

The Smoot-Hawley Tariff did not cause the Great Depression. Please stop repeating this thoroughly debunked canard.
