The Libs took out after Reagan as a brainless B-Movie actor totally unqualified to be President, just as they question Sarah’s qualifications.
They blamed the Recession on him, rather than on Carter who was really the cause. Even today, Liberals refuse to give Reagan full credit for winning the Cold War, trying to dilute what he did by saying that Democrats like Truman and Kennedy contributed to the downfall of the USSR, typical Dim lies.
The Recession was in full swing before Reagan took office so that doesn’t make much sense but Truman and JFK were staunch cold warriors.
