This
(click above) is the last, or close to the last, TV election coverage
where the Dems
carried a red
background icon. My immediate thought at the time was, and still is,
that some Dem adviser told his clients that people were being reminded
that they were REDS. Which, of course they were, and are. The
other
big difference is the restraint the talkers demonstrated. You
know
they were dying a thousand deaths as Reagan pasted Jimmy Carter; but
didn't really show it (although facial demeanor told the tale at times)
Contrast that with 2016 .
