Still, these are the same people who voted a washed up reality TV star to

No surprise - 30+ years ago they voted a washed up middle of the road
actor as President :-)


There was more to Reagan than that. He cut his teeth supporting actors'
rights, and was said to be an effective Governor of California. While he
was much mocked for Star Wars, it was a game of bluff which helped to
bring down the Soviet Union. He delegated the hard stuff well and didn't
create policy on the hoof.
