Just a note on the timeline. Reagan's policies were already in full swing by the time Hillary wrote that book. The Clintons were political nobodies from Arkansas when Reagan was in office. Bill was governor, but can you name the governor of Arkansas today without looking it up? I'm guessing most people outside the state can't.

Sure, he'd been in bed with the televangelicals for a while. The policy of welding public services to church institutions was an old one. The rhetoric that came out in response to Hillary's '96 book came afterwards.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, last I checked. But that's more because the Huckabees are a notoriously sleazy political dynasty who has been tight with the Trumps going back to the '16 primary.
