Reply #29: Reagan the actual President? Or Reagan the Legacy? [View All]

I'm not kidding.

Folks want to have a fight over his legacy, but it's pretty much set in stone at this point...

Dems attacking Reagan on details of his actual Presidency are akin to those going back to attack somebody like Lincoln on the details of his actual Presidency. NOBODY CARES. There's a legacy and we're sticking to it.

Nobody wants to hear about the gender biases of Martin Luther King, Jr. Nobody wants to hear about the racist contradictions of Thomas Jefferson. Nobody wants to hear about the narcissism of Ghandi.

Sorry, but it's true.

Reagan's legacy has been kinda set in stone. It's not to say we can't validly talk about the issues of the day and to even challenge the legacy. But in a context of a presidential campaign, trying to challenge such a legacy is a mistake.

Ask Ron Paul. Oh wait, don't...
