These have been the Republican standard bearers since President Ronald Reagan, 24 years ago.

How has that worked out for us?

Over the last 60 years, the Presidency has been held by Republicans for sixty percent of the time. Over the last 24 years, the Presidency has been held by Republicans fifty percent of the time. Since the early 1950s there have been 9 Republican administrations (Eisenhower X 2, Nixon X 2, Reagan X 2, GHW Bush X 1, GW Bush X 2) and 7 Democrat administrations (Kennedy X 1, Johnson X 1, Carter X 1, Clinton X 2, and Obama X 2); Republicans were reelected 4 times, Democrats 2 times.

That’s all true. And the sad thing is, despite having the White House 60% of the time, consider whether we went Left or Right overall. It’s an utter damnation of the Republican party what they did with their opportunities.

In particular, when we had the presidency and the majority in the Senate and House, we were not only utter failures, we still helped the Left implement it’s policies.
