Your blind if you are incapable of seeing the truth in what he is saying. Almost half of the electorate was not even alive or at least politically aware when Reagan was president. Talking of the Reagan years says nothing to them...especially after they have spent 12 years in school being told how wrong Reagan was.

We need the same ideals and ideas but we need a new way to present them. Living in the past is pointless and will only lead to more Obamas.

And you’re blind if you think Americans don’t understand history. Reagan himself, (much to my disapproval), talked about FDR to people who had never experienced the 1930s. Politics doesn’t take place in a vacuum. It takes place in the context of history—and that history needs to be made new every day, but Jeb Bush is the last person in the world to be talking about progressive forward-looking ideas. When a member of the Bush family does that, you should put a hand over your wallet.
