Reagan by a mile. He passed numerous pieces of landmark conservative legislation even as the opposition party held the House for his entire presidency, won re-election with 49 states even after leading the nation into a nasty recession and then getting hundreds of Marines blown up, and then not only paid almost no political price for overseeing Iran Contra, easily the gravest presidential scandal in American history, somehow positioned himself into godlike status within the Republican Party. Clinton talked a good game, and I'll give him credit for that, but, at the end of the day, Reagan was about a million times more effective at doing whatever the Inks he wanted to.
