“Reagan’s first mistake.”

True, but we were toast either way. Simply not enough will in this country to put Labor Unions in their place. We could spiraled down like the UK (same problem) and been destitute in a decade, but instead Bush started the workaround with China effectively negating the unions. For what it’s worth, it did buy us 30+ years, but this bunch in the White House, via Ukraine, has made DAMN SURE that we’ll soon be destitute in the near future, anyway.

Actually he and his sons were our mistake.

He was chosen for Reagan by the party know-it-alls.

What other choices were available?

Remember, the deep state was around back then. They stymied Reagan’s effort against Ford.
