“I am old enough to remember vividly what the polls between Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter looked like in 1980 at this point in the presidential campaign. They suggested Reagan had no chance to win. He trailed Carter in the polls by double digits. He went on to carry 44 states that year, including New York and California – 49 states four years later. “
Well, you should be old enough to know that Ronald Reagan wasn’t spoiled rotten rich kid that grew up to be a carnival barker.
You should also remember Reagan was an adulterer, Hollywood actor, divorcee and sworn Democrat prior to his epiphany.
