Description
Since Ronald Reagan left office, and particularly after his death, his shadow has loomed large over American politics: Republicans and many Democrats have waxed nostalgic, extolling the Republican tradition he embodied, the optimism he espoused, and his abilities as a communicator.

Beck makes the case that when you're traveling in the wrong direction, slight course corrections won't cut it.
