    I read a couple books about Reagan several years ago. One of the things I liked about him was that he didn't aspire to be president, and had to be pressured and harangued by others in the GOP to run for president. Kind of like what Race said, it's preferable to someone who is desperately crazed for power.

    Didn't aspire so much that he ran four times. But still.

    He ran in '76, '80 and '84 for reelection.

    I didn't know that. It's a red herring argument you're making, but nevertheless I learned something there.

    Trump doesn't want to be president because his shit has to go into a blind trust. Now that he's in the lead, his power crazed ego is taking over.
