Reagan shifted right on foreign policy, executive powers, and certainly on economic issues. Carter sure as hell didn’t lead Reagan there, and Nixon dove further right himself over Kennedy/Johnson.
Clinton certainly led the charge pushing the left rightward, but to say the GOP’s staggering success after the Covil Rights Act wasn’t the carrot seems a difficult task to prove. When was the last right-wing president that didn’t shift further to the right? Eisenhower? Cooledge?

So, is McLaughlin:

Delusional,
-
An utter fool,
or
- Deliberately speaking nonsense in an effort to distort public opinion?

Although that view becomes rather nuanced during primaries.

Nationalistic chanting in Congress. Just what you want during the rise of fascism.

That’s beautiful. Reminds me of the day the Berlin wall came down. It’s good to have some good news.

This is either malicious or ignorant.
The corruption of the US electoral process can not be casually wished away; democracy is not Tinkerbell.
