Cruz told us he’s using the 1980 and ‘04 elections as his model. I remember every minute of ‘04, but I was a teen when Reagan won in ‘80, so I need to brush up on what happened in that campaign. I’m hoping there are enough Reagan men still around to assist him.
He’s way more 1980 and 84 than he is 2004....which is a good thing!
My initial memory is Reagan got a lot of traction from the Misery Index. The feds fake the numbers too much now.
