I completely agree! They forget that people spontaneously lined the streets leading up to the Reagan Library. The crowd size was unexpected not orchestrated!
George Sr. never liked Reagan or respected him. Reagan wanted Jack Kemp on the ticket but was forced to take Georgie because the ESTABLISHMENT Rino moneymen threatened to not support Ronnie. If you were around during the primaries in 1980 you could see on HW's face a bewilderment as to why the people wanted Reagan but not him.
It was the same look many of those so called Republicans gave Trump in 2016.
No one has been able to catch Ronnie's lightning in a bottle until Trump came along.
