Young nube, Regan was hated hated hated in 1979, 1980.
And he did not win because he was a conservative in 1980.
He won because of the Iranian Hostage Crisis and was perceived to be a 1st class badass hardline son of a b*tch who was ready to start WWIII with the Soviets.
And Jimmy Carter was perceived as a major embarrassment, causing democrats to stay home in droves.
So Reagan slid in due to Carter’s incompetence and the first day Reagan took office, the hostages were freed because the Iranians *ssholes were scared out of their wits.
It was later, about two years into his first term that the American public began to fall in love with Reagan’s conservatism and eloquence, Thus started the Reagan Revolution.
Donald Trump will be feared, so feared that he will set the world agenda and later into his term, Americans will wake up to just how classy he is.
He won because of the Iranian Hostage Crisis...”
...just a side note. I took a young and pretty Middle Eastern girl out on a date during the crises. She mentioned her support for the Iranians. Date ended that second.
