It makes me wonder if political operatives get their ideas from Hollywood or vice versa. The tactics used by the Roberts campaign are easily recognizable manipulations common today. (And the songs Bob Roberts sings? Hilarious but jarringly honest rightwing positions.) I was in middle school when this move came out and wasn’t politically involved at the time but I remember enough that Tim Robbins’s character also reminded me of Ronald Reagan. Just me?
