Reagan won 49 states. Shaddup.
Reagan is dead. So are the millions of white, married Reagan democrats who voted for him.
They have been replaced by millions of Mexican immigrants and a huge cohort of 18-25 year olds who weren’t really old enough to be world aware when the 9-11 attacks took place.
The reality is that the GOP has to retreat on the social issues and press on the libertarian issues and economic freedom with these young voters. I can live with married gays down the block. I can’t live with a government controlled economy that kills the work ethic and individual economic freedoms.
