Probably the last president to win New York, Texas, California, Oklahoma, Hawaii, Idaho, Vermont, Alabama, Massachusetts, and so on down the line, 49 states.
I think we should remind people of that more often when Reagan is mentioned in a negative way as being too conservative or dividing, or whatever the modern media generated history.
Texas? Oklahoma? Alabama?
In its “rankings” of the Presidents, CBS puts Reagan at No. 18, one ahead of Joe Biden! And they mention one of his few positives as “luck”, which is bs. Nothing about the resuscitation of a dead economy and the associated high inflation of the Carter years; zilch about putting an end to the Soviet/US cold war; nothing about restoring national self-confidence. This is the same CBS which came out with a purported “poll” today which shows the Dems rising and within striking distance of taking the House - even Nate Silver of 538 and the NY Times don’t see this.
Reagan lost minnesota by fewer than 3800 votes. Almost a clean sweep!
Prior to CRT and DIE and wokeness.
