i lived in california for almost a year (summer of love et seq) while ronnie was governor. i came to believe that nancy had the brains in that family, and that she and ronnie were the front for the orange county (ca) republican committee.
nothing since then changed my opinion to any great degree. he styled himself as “the great communicator.” well, that’s essentially what he was, a communication device. the o. c. r. c. spoke into one end, and the words came out of his mouth.
he was a competent actor. he could follow a script.
