Reagan understood that the voters wanted a safe, responsible alternative to a failed Jimmy Carter and he gave them exactly that.”

Exactly. With inflation at 22.3 percent a year (in September 1980), interest rates at 11.25 percent, and unemployment at 7.5 percent.. not to mention the Iran hostages and American decline in the face of Soviet expansionism, people were ready for a major course correction. Reagan effectively articulated what that course correction would be.

Since some of us already voted, all we can do is wait and see if the country goes along with us.

No one knows yet the outcome even though MSM and the establishment fully expect Hillary to win.

Reagan effectively articulated what that course correction would be.
