"So our ideas need to be forward looking and relevant. I felt like there was a lot of nostalgia and the good old days in the [Republican] messaging. I mean, it’s great, but it doesn’t draw people toward your cause" "I don't think a party can aspire to be the majority party if it's the old white guy party"

I fail to see how anybody can logically disagree with these statements, as such.

When a new voter in '16 was born, Reagan had been in the nursing home with Alzheimer's for several years. Nostalgia for the good old days of the 80's is not going to appeal.

This has to be one of the most disgusting, disingenuous and ignorant posts on FR in a long time.

When people say they miss Reagan, they are talking about the timeless ideas Individual rights, limited government and a believe in free enterprise that Reagan so eloquently.

Reagan spoke about brilliantly about IDEAS, not himself.

The disgusting Statist Jeb Bush was directly attacking Reagan's defense of America as Founded; for Reagan's belief that government is the problem, not the solution; for Reagan's belief in Constitutional government

You see, Jeb, the Statist Bush like the rest of his slimy family worship at the Alter of State Power. For the entire Bush family, the all powerful State is the ideal.

How simple does one have to be to think it is about "the 80s."
