I'll take any Republican who can beat the the bitch, Hillary.

It's so simple. Go back to January 20, 1981. Ronald Reagan was being sworn in as President. Jobs were in the tank, inflation was robbing the US of much of it's wealth. Houses were being foreclosed on at every hand. People were literally terrified of their monthly electricity bills. Iran were thumbing their noses at Carter and the chipmunks, who were wringing their hands in a state of vapor lock, the US was locked in an epic stare down with Cold War Era Russia, things were grim. I lived through it as a first time homeowner and I know of what I speak.

We had back to back terms under his (Reagan's) leadership (talk about your breath of fresh air!) which, saw the beginning of an economic boom that lasted all the way up to the George W Bush era. For which Bill Clinton was more than happy to take credit. (Dems are all about claiming the high ground for themselves). The point? America has seen only one truly conservative president since before WW2. And what was the greatest peacetime economic surge of all time? Undisputedly it was the Reagan era, a standing unqualified success. To this day, whenever any Dem wants to sell an idea, they try to link it in someway to Ronald Reagan.

So here's my novel idea. Why not let the conservative have another stint at the helm? I mean, if he does anywhere near as well as Reagan, it will be roll out he barrel time. The mere thought of a Ted Cruz Presidency sends Lieberals writhing in fits of neurologic apoplexia. Mitch as Senate Leader, Boehner as Speaker and President Ted Cruz. We would have the two eras to contrast within the reasonable life span and the people could judge for themselves.
