Reagan? You are going to bring up Reagan in a discussion about Trump? Ronald Reagan knew more about government than than Donald "I will support the 12th article of the Consititution" Trump will ever know.
If your side had nominated a Ronald Reagan, it would have been a slaughter. Tens of millions of people would have stepped forward and voted Republican. Ronald Reagan would have trounced Crooked Hillary. Reagan was an experienced leader who understood the importance of nuance in a campaign. Ronald Reagan would never have said "I was being sarcastic, but I really wasn't." Ronald Reagan would never have mocked a reporter's handicap (which most people from every point on the entire political spectrum see as unforgivably inappropriate).
But your side didn't nominate a Ronald Reagan. Your side nominated a Donald Trump.
Ronald Reagan would never had said that John McCain is not a hero. John McCain fought his captors so hard that they brutally tortured him. He
still bears a physical handicap from the beatings he received. Donald "bone spurs" Trump isn't qualified to shine the shoes of John McCain.
WILLIE GEIST: What about what you told Chris Matthews a few weeks ago, which is that women who get abortions should be punished? Do you still believe that to be true?
TRUMP: No, he was asking me a theoretical, or just a question in theory, and I talked about it only from that standpoint. Of course not. And that was done, he said, you know, I guess it was theoretically, but he was asking a rhetorical question, and I gave an answer. And by the way, people thought from an academic standpoint, and, asked rhetorically, people said that answer was an unbelievable academic answer!
But of course not, and I said that afterwards.
I listen to that and I do not hear an adult speaking. And I
certainly don't hear Ronald Reagan, in his prime, speaking. Does anyone here want to support the notion that Ronald Reagan would have said something like that while campaigning against Jimmy Carter?
And as for Team Trump putting adults in charge. Maybe I was wrong, maybe they will put adults in charge .... for 30 days. Then another set of adults will be in charge for 30 days, then another set.
I may not agree with Sunmaster14, but I can respect his position: he sees this thread as a place to use evidence to discuss political differences, not as a place to childishly taunt liberals.
