what still burns the people like those sheep/snots over at kos and the other sheep followers of the Democrat party. They've never had anyone who pulled off what Reagan did. and probably never will because they aren't that liked. they win mostly from their dirty politics like this ranting about Reagan, Bush, Trump, Sarah Palin and on and on.
look at their supposed historic win with Obama and then in the first midterm election they got a historic ass kicking and lost the House. doesn't that scream we LOVE YOU MAN.
and the next midterms under that thug Obama they lost the Senate in another historic ass kicking. Doesn't that scream: we love you man.
yep like I said, they aren't all that liked especially under that Obama I think they are hated. but their base still wants to act like they are THE ONE and only THE ONE people want in their lives. so out comes the claws for Reagan in between their hate about all the candidates running for President. you have to feel sorry for them in a way. reality sucks. and they should pass this around at the Kosbehive. they could learn a thing or two about our history
Besides JFK no other President was as admired as Reagan was and still is.
read it and weep.

Landslide Victory by Reagan Underscores Democratic Ills
An article from CQ Almanac 1984
Document Outline
Walter F. Mondale frequently asked during the primary season, “Where's the beef?” But many Democrats may be wondering after his lopsided loss to President Reagan Nov. 6, 1984, “Where's the base?”
Reagan's win was about as sweeping as they come,
exposing again the Democrats' limited appeal in presidential voting. Reagan drew 59 percent of the popular vote — just shy of the 61 percent standard established by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. He won all but one state,
a feat performed previously only by Richard M. Nixon in 1972, and won a record 525 electoral votes. That left 13 electoral votes for Mondale, who carried the District of Columbia and his home state of Minnesota.

In spite of the magnitude of Reagan's victory, hardly anyone was surprised. The pollsters had been predicting a massive Reagan sweep since late summer, with final election-eve surveys showing him far ahead. Unlike the 1980 presidential race, which had a volatile finish that propelled Reagan to a decisive victory over President Jimmy Carter, most voters seemed to have had their minds made up in 1984 long before Election Day.
By early November, the only question was whether Reagan would become the first presidential candidate to sweep every state since the national popular vote tally was instituted in the early 1800s. He just missed achieving that distinction; despite a late campaign stop in Mondale's home state, Reagan lost Minnesota — but only by less than 35,000 votes.

For the Democrats, the 1984 election was another in their growing string of presidential election drubbings. At no time in this century has a major party gone through a series of electoral debacles as one-sided as the Democrats have experienced in the last 12 years. In two of the last four contests they have carried only one state. In three of the last four races, they have carried no more than six states.
In recent years it has taken unusual circumstances for the Democratic presidential ticket to be competitive. Carter capitalized on public disfavor with the Republicans generated by the Watergate scandal to win in 1976. Yet even then his victory margin was just 2 percentage points. In the other three elections since 1968, the Democrats have lost by margins of 23, 10 and now 18 percentage points.
1984 was not a particularly auspicious year for the Democrats to break the GOP's recent White House dominance.
Reagan is one of the most popular of recent presidents, and the perceived economic upswing served to underscore his themes of peace and prosperity. Adding to the Republican advantage was Mondale's relative unpopularity even within his own party. In the Democratic primaries, more than three out of every five voters cast ballots for a candidate other than the former vice president.
