Politico: The Reagan's Were "Insurgents" Against The GOP Establishment
Breitbart.com ^ | March 7, 2016 | Breitbart News

Matt Latimer writes in Politico: Nancy Reagan never would have considered herself part of the Washington “establishment.” For one thing, she hadn’t lived in this town in decades. More importantly, she had a constituency of one: her beloved husband. And if the DC establishment didn’t like it (they often didn’t) that was too damn bad.

Was her astrologer part of her constituency?

Reagan was a great president but the astrology stuff she believed in was just beyond the pale.

That was a beautiful article and very telling of all she endured. I distinctly remember her reaction to the Bush meme “A kinder, gentler nation”. Nancy: “Kinder and gentler than WHAT?

We would do well to remember the onslaught against her and her husband should another outsider get elected.

Thank you Nancy Reagan for all you endured. Those insiders may not be grateful but this citizen most certainly is.

After the assassination attempt, she left no stone unturned to protect her husband. And I’ve always been okay with that.

There is no harm in looking into that. I’ve studied some parapsychology, astrology, psychic phenomena etc. I can’t afford to overlook any possibility.

I see you used the correct Breitbart title for this piece. Does Breitbart not have a literate editor for its less literate contributors?

It ain't just Breitbart. Bad grammar, punctuation, and all sorts of "lack of literacy" symptoms abound through ALL print media these days, in spite of the best that software can do.

“astrology” That was a Lot of bushwah mischief making by the Washington Post. The Reagans would not kowtow to Ben Bradlee and his bimbo wife.

Unfortunately so.

(But Breitbart is particularly under-edited.)
