Trump beat Clinton in Pennsylvania, a feat not accomplished by a Republican since Ronald Reagan in 1988.

Ronald Reagan wasn't on the ballot in 1988.

“I hope that the author was more diligent in checking the other facts in the article (such as that the deadline for voter-initiated recounts indeed has passed).”

“Ronald Reagan wasn’t on the ballot in 1988.”

Hope springs eternal. Nope.

oh, yes he was!!!! GHWB’s win was directly the result of RWR. GHWB had lost the IA caucus to Dole, and wasn’t very popular. RWR invited him to a one-on-one lunch at the WH, seen as his endorsement. GHWB went on to win the NH primary and the rest, as they say, is history.
