Lessons From Reagan Landslide Highlight Conservative Win
Reagan’s November 6 landslide affirms a new conservative majority in national politics. The election framed the choice as conservative versus liberal, with Reagan winning on tax cuts and limited government. Mondale’s tax hike stance failed. Ferraro’s candidacy drew mixed reaction, and Republicans gained in the House while the Senate margin narrowed. The lasting question remains how Reagan will leverage a window of opportunity for spending reforms.
