And look how Democrats of Reagan’s day conducted themselves compared to today’s Democrats.
Say what you will about Tip O’Neill, but despite their political differences, he and Reagan were cordial towards each other.
well said, well said, well said!
“Say what you will about Tip O’Neill, but despite their political differences, he and Reagan were cordial towards each other.”
Reagan believed in “sabers at dawn, cocktails at dusk.”
He regularly hosted gatherings where members of both parties gathered in the White House after hours for drinks and small talk. Tip O’Neill and the old school democrats responded to this approach.
Probably how Reagan got most of his agenda through.
Todays dems would never step foot in the same room with ANY Republican president, much less enjoy a drink and chat.
Different times.
Different men.
