Yeah, the same way we’ve moved on from other Presidents of the past, like FDR, Lincoln, Washington. Reagan is the greatest President of our generation. Why would we want to move on from the legacy he left? His legacy needs to be remembered and shared with the next generation, not forgotten!
You are absolutely right, and make my point perfectly.
We look up to the great Presidents of the past, and Reagan stands proudly among them.
But we don’t run our candidates on their records.
I don’t know how old you are, but I’m getting up there. Reagan may have been the “greatest President of our generation” for many Americans, but we are rapidly approaching the point where most of the electorate have no recollection of his time in office.
I’d laugh at a politician who was continually referring to a President who left office before I was even born.
It’s time to apply Reagan principles to new policies and own them instead of invoking his name continually. It sounds old, stale, passe, to too many voters, and that’s a mistake.
