Are you BLIND, are you PROJECTING, or are you just STUPID, boy? When the GOP nominates wishy-washy moderates (see: Dole, McCain, Romney), they get pasted. When they nominate conservatives, they win.
Actually, McCain and Romney were more right wing than Reagan ever was.
Reagan signed gun control laws. He signed abortion laws. He appointed moderates to the SCOTUS.
You guys keep mixing up mythical Reagan for the one who was actually president.
BUt here's the difference between now and 32 years ago.
Romney would have won if the various demographic groups made up the same precentages as they did in 1980. Romney won 59% of the White Vote, better than Reagan did in 1980.
This is why the GOP is done. Whites as a percentage of the electorate shrinks about 2% per election cycle. It was 88% in 1980, but it's only 72% now.
if the gop is done, which it isn't, the country is done. liberal policies create an ever growing population of dependents which we simply can not afford to support. Money will leave before the wealth is spread. that's a fact. it happens every time.
The big crashes in this country in the last 80 years were the 1930's and 2008. Both after 12 years and 8 years of republican rule. FDR pulled the country out of the first one, Obama is pulling the country out of the second one even though repubs try to sabatoge him.
Republicans are always boasting about knowing so much about history they think they know (learned at fox university) but never mention this fact.
