It didn't cost Reagan anything to fire the PATCO controllers.

On important issues he operated in secret and then lied about when he got caught.

1. Why is supposed to 'cost' him something? That has nothing to do with bold action.

2. The firing SHOCKED the country. They never thought he'd have the nerve. It sent the UAW, AFL-CIO and the Teamsters into bunkers and they never came out.

3. Reagan was mercilessly criticized by the media because he was TOO strong. Not because he was weak.

Didn't know his asking Gorbachev to tear down that wall was done in secret. Sounded like a helluva overt statement to me - and it worked.
