re: #169 calochortus

One wonders what would happen if RR was resurrected. They’d probably all have heart attacks when they realized he wasn’t what they remember.

Yeah this is a president who after all was willing to talk with Mikhail Gorbachev (the way Obama gets hammered for acknowledging the importance of diplomacy, can you imagine?) or the fact that Reagan didn’t treat his opponents like they were evil incarnate, he and Tip O’Neill were famously friends after 5 PM as I believe Tip put it in his memoirs, and the biggie, this is a president who actually gave amnesty to illegals. Can’t see that going over too well with the Know Nothings. It’s the idea of Reagan that matters more than the realty if who Ronald Reagan was.
