At first I thought you were writing about the '20s!

In the House in 1930, the GOP had 270 represenatives and the Dems 164 (1 other).

Re: It took Republicans 40 years, an entire generation,

There is good news and there is bad news.

A generation is usually counted as 20 year. But it may take only one generation to undo the damage that Reagan did.
