    I still think Ronnie Raygun might have done more damage in one administration than nearly any other. Though donnie’s one term is arguably worse. Maybe some distance of time might tell.

    But Ronnie’s wrecking crew really, really got things going. And the infection persists - so much nonsense that started with that bunch is still with us today, and much of it has taken root in the Democratic Party, too. See: Clinton’s administration, for instance.

    And if anyone wants to test the “liberal media” nonsense a bit, just see how they treat Raygun’s admin - the collective hagiographies are nauseating. And the way in which Iran/Contra is treated (more like: “covered up”) - which is far, far, far worse than Watergate. So many boomers attached “-gate” to every scandal since Watergate, but they should have been finding ways to tie things back to Iran/Contra after that.
