The End of the Reagan Revolution

Michael Reagan (Ronald Reagan's son) believes the Reagan Revolution can be saved, but weighs in on how the GOP got into its current mess in the first place:

They destroyed the party from within. They are the ones to blame. Not the left-wing media , not left-wing academia, not the Democratic Party but the GOP — the Grand Old Party — no longer grand, just old and scared silly.

Ronald Reagan had the same media that we have today. He had the same left-wing academia that we have today and the same Democratic Party that we have today. But when the media and the Democrats attacked him he found it invigorating, and found strength and fortitude in being under fire, and he fought back like a tiger.

The rest of the article strikes me as wishful thinking, but his main point seems to be to rally the troops. I suspect it's too little, too late.
