Which man was the more skilled politician?

[Bacon King]

The answer to this depends on what is meant by "politician"

Reagan was far superior to Clinton in the performance aspect of politics, with famous debate victories and speeches that were strong, memorable, and persuasive. This strength allowed him to define the country's political discourse on his own terms.

Where Clinton really excelled was strategy and intuition. Clinton was excellent at negotiating with the Republican Congress, triangulating so deftly that even when he was literally just passing their agenda he was able to steal the credit and claim it as his own. In 1995 he put a stop to Republican shutdown tactics by masterminding a plan where he goaded Speaker Gingrich into initiating and maintaining a shutdown on unfavorable terms just by treating Gingrich disrespectfully on an airplane trip - he knew the man's personality and could tell where all the pieces would fall from there.

Iran Contra, easily the gravest presidential scandal in American history

No, the gravest presidential scandal in American history is the intentional and premeditated delivery of half of Europe to Stalin and all of China to "so-called Communist" and "agrarian reformer" Mao.
