It's a term coined, I believe, by Rush Limbaugh. It's just a way of calling Reagan a great man and a great President.

If Reagan promised to shrink government then he and his administration didn't do that, then that would be a failure. I'm sure some Republican convinced them that it would turn away too many voters to start cutting programs, and that if more Democrats got elected, they would expand government even more. I wouldn't call Ron Paul a visionary, but I would say his success proves that Americans don't like where the two parties are taking us now.

From what I see of the answers so far, the best answer is from Erik K. I want to say I whole heartedly agree with everything Erik K has said. Ronald Regan is not only my favorite President, but he is, and always be the greatest President in my lifetime. There are no Presidents that can even come close to holding a candle to him.

It wasn't too long ago that there was a show called "The greatest American" where many good people were shown and people polled to see if they fit that description. Oprah, JFK, Martin Luther King....all were shown to be "Great Americans" But it was the winner who could really not be disputed, Ronald Reagan.
But why was he great? Many young people do not know him, but they should try to research him. He was the son of an alcoholic but who never let that stop him or shape him for the worse. He grew up quick to smile and loved his fellow man. From his earliest days he saw America as "The shining city on the hill" and that never changed. He was deeply religious, but more so he was deeply patriotic.
A great speaker, after the space shuttle tragedy said, "The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and "slipped the surly bonds of earth" to "touch the face of God."
Ronald Reagan fought communism from his early days in politics. It was not just for show, as he both used the power of the US and his own negotiating skills to bring forth the reduction of nuclear weapons with the Soviets. He was never afraid to confront for effect, such as when he said, "Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" to the cheers of German onlookers. Little did he know but that the actions he took would do just that in his lifetime.
In his later years, Alzeimer's disease stole his brilliant mind, but he lived on perhaps for his great love of his wife, Nancy.
One day, when the Doctors told his family that the end was near, and as they stood close to his bedside, Ronald Reagan opened his eyes for one last time and looked directly into his wife's eyes.
For one last time, Ronald Reagan was with us....can anyone now say there is no God?
ps: I have included two of these famous speeches below, thank you.

because the heroin junkie/radio talkshow host Rush Limbaugh once coined the phrase "Ronaldus Magnus" in reference to the ex-Prez
probably a drug induced hallucination of a toga-clad Ronnie was swirling through his head during one of his stream-of-consciousness rants
