Pull up some old AP newspaper reports from June-July 1980.

Reagan was running behind both Carter and Anderson at the time. Revisionist history serves no one when it is so easily disproved.

Reagan was running behind both Carter and Anderson at the time. Revisionist history serves no one when it is so easily disproved.

What does his standing in the polls have to do with the Grassroots?

This is YOUR fallacy that you are presenting.

He won over Carter precisely because he had a base of Grassroots supporters. He was not relying on the normal Moderate approach, but had already lined up the grassroot support exactly as I stated in my earlier approach. Because he had done the groundwork criss-crossing the country and talking to every conservative mom-and-pop organization he could speaking up his limited government, conservative social policy, and strong military agenda.

Don't believe me, try looking up what his son Michael has said about this. He's the one that has publically made this point.

Your stated position is the Revisionist history.
