In the Republican debates, Newt Gingrich is always the first to invoke the hallowed name of Ronald Reagan, taking credit for helping Reagan implement the foreign policy initiatives that led to the fall of the Soviet Union.

Flashback to 1986, as Newt gives a floor speech blasting Ronald Reagan for the “failure” of his foreign policy initiatives, and praising Democratic President Harry Truman for accomplishing much more in the same time period.
