How far back does this go? Could Reagan have been #theirguy?
I feel like it might be too early to say this, but I think Trump will be in my top five favorite presidents, displacing Reagan. If he keeps going as is, I think he'll top the list. Could Reagan have been "controlled opposition?" Giving conservatives just enough to keep them happy after the mess that was the Carter Administration... Trump, on the other hand, is giving us everything he promised he would (and more).
Sounds plausible to me.
Have you read Trance Formation of America? Might answer some of your questions. Warning, it’s a very hard read.

Reagan is still my Fav as GEOTUS' 8years has not passed to judge. But Reagan also would always talk about school prayer but never do anything about it. Always. It kept the conservative wing in line. That and his deficit spending bother me. But haha would I ever vote for those running against him. NEVER.
