"It's not the same kind of left that opposed both presidents.
Reagan benefited from the Cold War era and he was very eloquent and a great communicator. "

It is the same kind of left that opposed both presidents. And btw, Reagan the "very eloquent and a great communicator" is a "historical review" of Reagan by the press. After Reagan beat them senseless, the press at the time, gave him the honor of calling him the Teflon President.
Why Teflon?
It's their slander and distortions that didn't stick, he *wasn't* Telfon because the press was busy praising him as "very eloquent and a great communicator".
