“Welcome Back, Dad”
“I’ve been trying to convince my fellow conservatives that they have been wasting their time in a fruitless quest for a new Ronald Reagan to emerge and lead our party and our nation. I insisted that we’d never see his like again because he was one of a kind.
I was wrong!
Wednesday night I watched the Republican National Convention on television and there, before my very eyes, I saw my Dad reborn; only this time he’s a she. And what a she! This was Ronald Reagan at his best — the same Ronald Reagan who made the address known now solely as “The Speech,” which during the Goldwater campaign set the tone and the agenda for the rebirth of the traditional conservative movement that later sent him to the White House for eight years and revived the moribund GOP. Welcome back, Dad, even if you’re wearing a dress and bearing children this time around.”
~Michael Reagan, son of President Ronald Reagan
Just a little reminder.
Yes, she does have the potential to become a Reagan-like politician, but it’s premature to compare her to him right now. It would be like comparing a high school basketball phenom to Michael Jordan. Sure, said player may become Jordan’s equal, but there’s many reasons to believe he won’t be.
