If you really want to understand Ronald Reagan, you need to do more work. I also was at these events. I also worked in the Ronald Reagan White house on the Senior Staff. I traveled wit President Reagan Reagan. To put in more perspective, my father ran all of Ronald Reagan's campaigns, except when my Dad ran Jerry Ford's in 1976 for President, Ronald Reagan's experienced his only defeat.
To understand President Reagan Reagan, you must read the oral histories which are on line. Some on my website: www.spencer-roberts.com. Read Lou Cannon's books. Read Marty Anderson's book that include many of Ronald Reagan's letters and speeches. There is a book of Ronald Reagan's speeches, And Ronald Reagan diaries will be released this spring.
And foremost, visit the Ronald Reagan Library. Go through the new Air Force Pavilion. And hear closely to President Reagan's words. And look into his eyes as he speaks them. Ronald Reagan reached out to people, the common citizen that is a common thread in his writings that is the true essesence of Ronald Reagan.
