Different era, no Reagan and the demographics are a lot different nowadays.
Sadly true, but the regime controlled media no longer set the agenda, either. It used to be that ABCBSNBCNN picked the president, or at least had huge influence. No longer.

You forget how vilified and ridiculed Reagan was during the general election campaign. All the standard stuff the media throw at Republicans. Stupid. Nothing but an actor. V.P. Mondale got laughs on the stump by asking if people could imagine waking up and hearing the words "President Reagan" the day after the election.
It wasn't until Reagan took office and people realized what a gifted leader he was that most people saw through the lies.
Maybe so, but just about every sub group favors him less than in 2008: Hispanics, young people, whites, etc. Demographics helps him a point or two but he would lose 10 % off his votes, otherwise, IMO.
And remember, Democrats in congress got 59 % of the vote, while Obama got 52.9 %.. Do you see anything close to that happening again?
Bingo! All politics now are racial. Revenge against whitey. Latinos, Blacks and women will vote democrat.
