BS.
Such eloquence. Calling something BS does not change the facts. I was working with the Party at the time and heard first hand from a couple of congressmen what occurred behind the scenes after meetings between the two. Loved Reagan and hated O’Neil’s Massachusetts politics. That did not stop them from talking in civil terms.
Fast forward to Obama who’s only time is my way or the highway. He was never faced with strong Republican House and Senate leadership that would stand their own ground. They also could not communicate effectively directly to the people.
I believe Trump, while not as socially conservative as I, can take his case directly to the people. He is a leader and we have not had a leader who believes in the values of this country since Reagan.
