...So why do Republicans support some charismatic Hollywood actor rather than a more serious president?
Because most people in America are too young to even remember Eisenhower. Republicans invoke Reagan, not because he was the best Republican president ever, but because he was the best in recent decades and many people today still remember what he looked like. It's just politics.
