Chief of Staff Don Regan’s description of the Reagan-O’Neill relationship: “Sometimes they’d have a meeting and Tip would be there and they’re laughing and getting along and it’s very warm. And then, Tip would leave, go up to the Hill and turn on him just like a snake! It was treachery!’

“The evil is in the White House at the present time. And that evil is a man who has no care and no concern for the working class of America and the future generations of America, and who likes to ride a horse. He’s cold. He’s mean. He’s got ice water for blood.” Tip O'Neill 1984

I don't think you'll find a Reagan quote describing O'Neill in such a way....Reagan understood our system of government and the role of the Presidency, had to work with/through O'Neill.....Reagan was the better man no doubt.....

the left has created the environment that has allowed Trump to become president and has also given him powers that will likely make them apoplectic for the next 4-8 years...can't say they weren't warned....

this was a very popular meme for the left in this country over the last 8 years...I wonder if it still applies?
