Do they ever trash JFK for doing the same thing?
He’s making moderate noises to become president.

But the media will call him one anyway.
That’s one way the moderate center moves ever leftward.
During his time as governor?
He sort of did.
Gremaomw doesn’t belong in the same sentence. Reagan was one of the Top 5 Presidents: Washington, Jackson, Polk, Lincoln also.
He
He can narrate the new version of Death Valley Days, to be called Death California Days.
He did expand abortion rights throughout the states which other states followed. Raised sales taxes from 3 cents to 5 cents. I mean he loved illegal aliens as president. But not sure as governor
