So the GOP didn't need Trump to learn how to be vile racists just like they didn't need him to learn to collude with hostile foreign powers to 'win' elections-Reagan's own campaign colluded in 1980 to withhold the hostages until after the election

Remember a central thesis of this book is that Trump is not the anomaly he’s held to be-the GOP has been at racism and foreign collusion to rig elections for years-it’s not just about Trump but rather Trump is the logical conclusion, in truth the GOP has been morally and intellectually bankrupt for years. Reagan had a number of Trump’s same ‘foibles’-right up to the fact that his own staff at least seriously discussed declaring the 25th Amendment.

Bill O’Reilly tried to explain Reagan’s often erratic and worrisome behavior as due to being shot by John Hinckley.
