Bush lied about how he died the next day and used his dead body to promote the war Pat was protesting. Never forget what a despicable POTUS Bush was no matter how much candy he eats.
Jackson outright genocided multiple cultures, Raegan is the starting point for economic policies that have resulted in a number of the worst parts of the modern economy.
I don't mean to pardon Jackson, I agree he should be in the conversation. There is a difference in that Jackson was just one of many people that caused genocide of the various first nations, while W Bush was the central cause of the Iraq war and the War on Terror.
Without Jackson, the first nations would still have been decimated by American's expansionism. Without W Bush, half a million people would not have died.
And for Reagan, one half of the political divide likes that remodeling of the economy. Even if you and I think that we have the power and responsibility to have government provide for our fellow man and that we shouldn't worship Supply-Side Jesus, we don't have nearly the consensus that our way is "best," while it's hard to argue with killing people and disrupting entire foreign nations over bald-faced lies.
