The Republican field is minus one man of course that is President Ronald Reagan, Reagan was a man of his time but also a man who could see beyond, a man who said in 1976 when in discussion about the USSR, " We Win they lose " a man who could call the USSR an Evil Empire but could also stand in Red Square and state the Cold War was over in many respects, it was just a matter of working out the details. Reagan is gone but what he stood for, small government, low taxes, strong military, good relationship with allies but also take action when needed is a good road map for Republicans. The President who removed troops from Lebanon after a terrorist attack but then invaded another country that was falling to Cuban Communism, Reagan was pragmatic but also a risk taker, this is also a good road map for the Republicans. The Republican Party is looking for another Reagan, it still has time and some candidates have not entered the race so far, a week is a long time in politics.
