As someone who wasn’t alive when Reagan was POTUS, I recognize that Reagan had charisma—I can see why people liked him at the time—but what does ‘Reagan said so-and-so thirty five years ago’ matter to me?

Same what I said. He lives in the past. Gop is changed, bipartisan is over!

I was born the final year of Reagan’s presidency. I have a ton of respect for Reagan as I look back on his presidency. I want to hear more from my politicians than trying to connect themselves to Reagan.

Also weird to assume a 1980 Hogan would be for Reagan, instead of the moderate, elite northeastern Rockefeller republican...GHW Bush

Though also don't want to read modern politics falsely back into MD political history, where Spiro Agnew was the moderate vs segregagionist dems, after all

Hogan believing he is a successor to Reagan is laughably false.

Reagan had as much impact on the 20th Century as FDR (though Reagan never appointed a Klansman to the high court and never threw Americans into internment camps). If dems can talk about FDR, we can talk about Reagan.

I think (and I’d ID as a Reaganite) there’s a struggle in grasping that Reagan is an historical figure now vs a current policy figure.there will be monuments going up to him all over the place in the next generation with broad support but the policy disputes have evolved.
