Ronnie Reagan sparking more interest in Republicans
Maybe it's the "T-rump remorse" syndrome sweeping the Republican party after they've seen what a disaster he's been to the party for the past two years, but there's been quite an uptick in the interest in former republican President Ronald Reagan the past year or so. Many believe it's the 'real republicans' who want to go back to the era of the "most popular Republican President" (some say) in history.
A new 800 page tome titled "Ronald Reagan: An American Journey" hit bookstores for the Christmas season, and it's selling out across the country. Other books and documentaries have been released over the past two years, with even more on the horizon. There's been a surge in the popularity of Reagan, who sat in the White House from 1981-89. It's one of the biggest upticks for interest in him since his death in 2004. Analysts blame / credit T-rump.
Political analysts say Republicans want to turn away from 'Midnight in America' T-rump, and teach the younger generations and up-and-coming voters what it was like under 'Morning in America' Ronald Reagan, who - despite his flaws - could work 'both sides of the aisle', and bring unity between the parties. They're hoping the younger generation will appreciate how Reagan turned around the beleaguered Republican party in 1980 (thanks to Watergate and Nixon) and brought the country together - they're hoping the same can be done in 2020.
Yes, T-rump remorse is alive and kicking within the Republican party. If only Reagan could come back from the dead...
