I do wonder how things would have been if the Congresses during his tenure had been Republican . . .
It wasn’t until after hearing Rush I learned about how sweeping the Senate victory was in 1980 .. despite liberal media.. talk about a coattails/tidal wave. But look at the liberals who got reelected in the South. But many of these GOP 1980 winners lost in 1986, narrowly without RWR on the ticket. And not being best candidates , clear message, not proud conservatives . ( We had to wait for 1994)
And I have heard Rush talk often about “U.S. cadavers— AHEM— Senator’s “ California win in 1986.

I hope same fate befalls most of 2006 Democrats next year.
