I’d rather be in the alternate universe where Dean became President—I won’t even insist that Reagan die in an hot car, just that that horrible little man never got a jot’s power.
People forget how popular Reagan was as president. Even progressives seemed taken with him, and if you publicly criticized him, people would look at you as if you’d just stepped out of a spaceship.
Anyway, an interesting item I didn’t know existed.
