| 19. But this seems to be the thing that rallies the GOP |

The problem they have is that soon, the majority of voters will not have even been alive when Reagan was President.
Voters turning 18 in 1996 were 5 years old when Reagan last ran for president
Voters turning 18 in 2004 were 2 years old when his Presidency ended.
18-year-olds who voted in the most recent election were only one year old when the USSR ceased to exist.
If you are 40 years old, you would not have been even close to puberty when Reagan delivered his "I paid for this microphone" or "There you go again" lines.
And if you are 22 years old today, you were not alive when Reagan made his most famous "Tear down this wall" speech.
So the GOP can have that corpse as their mascot if that's what they want.
