15. Why hold up Reagan as an example of change? Why not FDR?
Why use an evil man to make the point? All of the evil that these men do and intended to do are inextricably tied to them, and there is no reason to praise or hold up their abilities for example when there are plenty of beneficent leaders who accomplished the same feat. There's absolutely no reason to do so publicly. Would you have no problem if he held up Hitler as an example of change? It's just as true, no?
