To her credit, she did apologize promptly. Maybe she was thinking about the Alzheimer's advocacy instead. Terrible and short-sighted gaffe, though.

Perhaps, and plausible. My initial take was Hillary trying to work a bit of pandering into her comments without any concern (or knowledge) for actual history. Maybe it was an honest mistake but what a blunder. Trying to praise the Reagans with something which is actually a mar on their legacy.

This was my guess as well.

Wouldn't be the first time she did that. It just seems very unlike her to alienate a group that generally would support her candidacy (at least, the advocacy organizations) for the sake of praising conservative icons for something they didn't even do.
 
The last time we saw riots and protest of this scale we elected Nixon in a landslide. Something about a Silent Majority?
 
Bernie Sanders isn't the only one who wants to redistribute wealth.

Oh, I agree on the alienation bit. I think it was a case of not knowing/remembering history correctly or confusing AIDS and Alzheimer's.
