Ronald Reagan (“Rawhide”)
As he was working to convince people to vote for him, Ronald Reagan’s image was closely linked to his Illinois roots. Although he lived in California for a large portion of his life, and especially when he worked as an actor, Reagan’s roles in western movies would imprint a specific image in the minds of Americans. This led to his code name of “Rawhide”, which the history books suggest was a name he chose for himself.
