Ronald Reagan won in every one of those states except MN. All Ted has to do is win a couple. I don’t see that as a problem, whether it’s Hillary or Bernie Sanders.
Because he won the white working class overwhelmingly. Every guy who swung a hammer wanted to have a beer with him. And he ran as an open American nationalist.
Can your slightly weird debating champ do that? I live among Reagan Democrats, I married into a Reagan Democrat family. I worked with them for many years.
Two things about the white working class: They love Trump. They hate Cruz.
Reagan did not win 45 and 49 states because he was a conservative.
Do you think if Reagan was alive today he could win the governorship of California?

It's not the 80s any more.
