Reagan skipped the debate before the Iowa Caucuses and narrowly LOST the Iowa Caucuses to George H.W. Bush.
Fired his campaign team seniors and hired Casey and Meese. Reagan thought skipping the debate was huge mistake, and that he would lose IA... and he did. The headline is pointless and non-sequiter to mr. trump— trying to align him with Reagan, just like obamaumao’s people tried to do early on— to no effect.
