Reagan was the biggest war Keynesian we ever had considering we did not even have a war. Anyone one can sell fur coats in Winter, but Reagan could sell wool mittens at an outdoor water park.

He and Bush 1 also raised taxes numerous times after realizing they cut them too much.
Ike could easily get elected as a Republican governor of a Northeastern state today, but he couldn't win the south. Ike, although a midwesterner himself, was associated with the Northeastern moderate wing of the GOP, which is currently in serious decline.
Wasn't even born yet. Anything special that happened during Carter that's related to this topic?

Do explain, please. Don't want history to be forgotten.
And on another note, do you think it would be possible for one of the Bush presidents to become someone like Reagan?
Bush Sr was defeated in re-election. That right there will always disqualify an American president from being spoken of in reverence. Bush Jr was widely disliked and by the end of his second term, even many Republicans didn't think highly of him. Plus, given the fact that the Republican party has taken a turn towards being more about fiscal responsibility, Dubya's "compassionate conservative" policies are anathema to the new outlook of the Republican party.
