Lee Drutman was a guest on the radio program On Point discussing the end of Reagonomics.

Lee Drutman: "Reaganism in America is dead. ... It has outlived its usefulness as a policy solution if it ever had usefulness and neither party supports it. The Republican Party has basically given up on that. The Republican Party is no longer the party of Reagan. It's the party of Trump now. And Republican voters overwhelmingly supported the stimulus plan. Republican voters are much more supportive of taxing the rich and spending on social welfare. Republicans are no longer the party of free trade, and there's no more anticommunism."
