Reagan got past them, but never fully went after the Left;

Even Reagan did not receive the media bashing and such of Trump. Yes, he was a surprise but they hadn't put forth the crazed bashing of him on the level they did for Trump. Now admittedly I was pretty young during the Reagan era and not really into politics at the time, but I don't remember it having the crazed impact on society that all of this anti-Trump crap is.
