at the end of the reagan era. he kind of rode ronald reagan to his success. so i think people like ronald reagan, people like sean hannity, who calls himself a reagan kid. they're emotionally invested in reagan's success, too. so they're the ones who call out candidates who break from the orthodoxy and can cause somebody problems with those primary voters. >> will bunch, senior writer at the "philadelphia daily news," the author of "tear down this myth: how the reagan legacy has distorted our truth and haunt our future." you wrote that book a few years ago, it's going to get more and more important towards the course of 2016. thanks so much. >> thanks, rachel. appreciate it. all right, why the size of alaska, the enormous physical size of the place, may wind up mattering a lot for the national elections this year. it's a weird story out of alaska that i don't think anybody realizes the national implications of, but we've got that coming up. stay with us.
