President Reagan’s 49 state landslide in 1984 was not lost by the Democrats.
I remember them saying that Reagan was a Great Communicator and fooled the American people. He had no substance, but knew how to talk well. He was like everyone’s grandfather, so people liked him. They called him an idiot that fell asleep in meetings and didn’t know what was going on.
Democrats have never lost an election. It is either stolen or the voters were fooled.
Don forget that Nixon also won a huge 49 state landslide in 1972.
