No, I don’t really remember a major republican figure other than Regan and Newt that really fought. But those two did. Regan’s fight did not end post shooting. His fight was different though. His was really 2 fold: destroy soviets and cut taxes. He won both fights and the opposition was just as fierce as Trump’s but times were different and media resources for the average Joe were non-existent. Everything moved much slower back then. No cell phones. No debit cards. No ATMS. 3 tv channels with news. No internet. No email. No texting. No social media. Way different... Just as Lincoln said about Grant(grant was a drunk and not very successful prior to CW and not networked in DC)  and folks were shit talking Grant to Lincoln trying to get him to install a more “appropriate” general...Lincoln said, “...I can’t spare the man, he fights...”
