I really hope it’s not decades. Hopefully the public attention span is short.

If term limits weren’t around [Reagan] would have easily won another term.

. . . even as, we must painfully admit, he was within six years of writing his November 1994, Alzheimers letter . . .

It certainly would have been interesting to have had Reagan in the White House during the time of the Russian coup. Possibly his own stature would have enabled him to prevent it. But, by then his own powers obviously must have been failing.

The Democrats are going to miss him with intensity.

My sentiments exactly. I stand to “lose” upwards of $500 if Ramos and/or Compean receive so much as a commutation let alone the pardons they deserve. I’ll bet my money is safe as Bush, as he has time and time again, FAILS to do the right thing.
