(John Hinderaker) Ronald Reagan swept to two landslide victories on the strength of his famous three-legged stool—economic conservatism, social conservatism and an internationalist, hawkish foreign policy. But the elements of the Reagan coalition have been drifting apart for some time, and the alliance now appears to be irretrievably fractured.

Watching Wilmore, I wondered, did anyone working on that material really find it funny? Did anyone really think others would find
