This man will never admit to being wrong. When Reagan won, this guy's predecessors predicted he would start WWIII: He ended the cold war instead. None of them ever admitted they were wrong. They have never acknowledged what Reagan accomplished, let alone thank him for it.
BTW: I am getting optimistic. Trump is looking more and more Reaganesque by the day. I even heard Trump referred to as "The Teflon Don" just like Reagan was called the "Teflon President". I expect they will be attacking Melania just like they did Nancy very shortly. It's almost too much. I've been binge watching MSNBC and giggling like a 12 yo girl.
You are right of course, however, what I meant is that his fears will no longer be present. His hatred will continue unabated because that it the way these people are. It takes an epiphany for them to actually admit they were wrong. He may even experience that before it is all over. Time will tell.
