[[“He would be appalled and heartbroken,”]]

Why is that patti? Because Trump’s gotten a tremendous amount of things accomplished in such a short time as president>?

Good golly- Shut up!

That seems to be the new path the left is going down now, they have decided that they are just going to ignore the facts utterly and completely and start pushing a fantasy reality.

Victor Davis Hanson on Reagan: (EXCERPT FROM CALIFORNIA AND CONSERVATISM, NATIONAL REVIEW, JUNE 3, 2018)

Of course, it is common to have a nostalgic view of Ronald Reagan, as model of genial, principled conservatism that might return to accelerate California’s salvation. But a review of the 1966 gubernatorial campaign reveals one of the nastiest races in California memory. Reagan gave back everything that Edmund Brown Sr. dished out to him, and won by rivaling a later Trump in his often cruel invective. Reagan castigated “welfare bums,” and promised to clean up the “mess” at Berkeley. And when governor, after failed popular demands that he be recalled, Reagan kept at it with rhetoric that again rivals Trump’s worst. Of the People’s Park demonstrations, he declared, “If it takes a bloodbath, let’s get it over with. No more appeasement.” And he joked that he hoped the free food for poor communities leveraged by the terrorist SLA might be infected by botulism. Quite simply, Reagan did not call for a thousand points of light or a kinder, gentler state.
