re: The ‘84 election

What I remember was the media being less obvious but still in the tank. There was a lot of talk about the former actor (rarely was it mentioned he was also the governor of California) was running, was leading, etc.

They also treated everyone of his policy positions as crazy, Ronnie Raygun was just the tip of the iceberg.

They also harped on his mental fitness, his age, his senility, etc. Same old communist playbook we see being used against Trump.
