Well, Boo Hoo.

Perhaps you’ll just sit this one out. Yeah, that’ll show ‘em.

As info - In the run up to Reagan’s first victory he was also widely perceived as left and weak. Not saying Mitt’s the next Ronald, but it’s too early to take your little ball and run home.

What? I was there, and don't remember it that way at all. As a matter of fact, I was still robotically pulling the lever for the other side at the time, and that's not the way the Democrats thought of Reagan at all.

Reagan had been a strongly vocal supporter of Barry Goldwater in '64, if you recall. He'd also well established himself as a conservative while serving as Governor of California (I lived there, and remember his time in office well).
