How the hell did we get to this point?
From the time that Ronald Reagan first announced he was running, even though I couldn't vote yet due to my age, I knew that I liked him. Sure, I probably didn't understand all of his policy and economic talk at the age of 17, but he reminded me of my late grandfather, albeit a kinder, and funnier version of him. He had a likability factor like no one else that I had seen before, and the fact that he could be friends with people like Tip O'Neill, the Speaker of the House from Massachusetts, a very Liberal Democrat, impressed me.
