After this I will stop. Let me explain. I stand by my statement that the President did not do ENOUGH to convince the electorate. If that is interpreted to mean that I blame him, then I have been inarticulate. I don't know if anyone , incuding Reagan, could have done enough given the situation.
We can disagree about it. It's okay. Just: If the electorate can't be convinced, then you can't blame a person for not being able to convince.
