No, she isn’t Regan. Regan had a lifetime of experience behind him when he became President. Granted, Sarah is younger. They also approached the political arena from different backgrounds.
Nonetheless, she is quite accomplished for a woman of her years, and she has time on her side. Her political history in Alaska alone shows unusual grit and competence.
And in two ways she is very much like Regan. She knows how to connect to the people and she is true to her conservative values.
She’s no Regan, but I’m convinced Regan would heartily approve.
There is a great picture I saw on FR of Sarah with Reagan faded into the background holding up a glass of wine or something congratulating her. A wonderful picture.
