I don't ever recall RR talking about the deeps state while he was President...do you?
Not right off. I was pretty busy with school and work that decade and the one following.
The only thing I remember is that the two of them seemed to hate each other. When the VP candidate slot was filled I mentioned it to a couple of people around me. I couldn’t believe he was going with that guy.
I just found it very surprising.

He didn’t. It’s a new term in American politics. A borrowing from the study of foreign countries that have a history of permanent governing classes that don’t change.
