Dang he was one likable son of a gun.

"People keep looking to the government for the answer when government's the problem".
Word. Fucking Word word word.
-
It’s always amazed me to know that off camera Johnny was a major introvert.

The Boogeyman of the left
Imagine being scared of a little Midwestern boy -

I’ve watched this dozens of times over the years.Southerndawg said: -
It’s so rare to see 1) a conservative politician appearing on a mainstream late night talk show 2) a mainstream entertainer who is right of center 3) people talking about things like taxes in a calm and respectful manner that my brain asked, “is this interview real?” as I watched this.
Thank you for sharing. -

If you give up, CD, on the utopian dream of the unrestricted flow of economic migrants to the US from anywhere on Earth, then you can join the Yella Piss Reformed CC Republican Party.CirrhosisDawg said:Reagan’s GOP: R.I.P.

Because welfare queen stereotypes? War on crack cocaine? His being anti-affirmative action?RaceBannon said:Reagan was a racist
It seems like the goal posts on what defines racism have moved a lot over the decades. At one point in time you had to be personally racist to be considered racist. Then it was if you wanted to cut welfare or get tough on crime you were racist. Nowadays if you’re against reparations you’re a racist. -

The playbook hasn't changed in 40 years
He started his campaign in Philadelphia Mississippi. Dog whistle.
He hated Blacks. Spread aids to the gays because he was homophobic. Killed poor people with tax cuts for the wealthy.
Traded arms for drugs with Iran. Ran drugs through Arkansas with Bill.
He was a horrible person and people that voted for him were worse
Reagantards -
More
Bush was there to attack him on voodoo economics. When Bush took over he distanced himself saying he was a compassionate conservative
When Reagan got the nomination the party elders wanted Ford as co president.
Ah the good old days. It's like they never left -

I for one have never called Trump a racist. I think he’s said some bigoted, off color remarks but then again who hasn’t among us. But the standard of speech for a candidate for high office needs to be better (more on this later) and you didn’t hear Reagan producing the soundbites that Trump does.
Now where you and I will agree is the hypocrisy of the left on playing the race card. Are a lot of Trump voters bigoted, racist redneck? Yes, absolutely. Was Obama’s preacher a racist? You’re god damned America right he was. Were a lot of minorities that voted for Obama racist. Yes, definitely.

Is this the fellow who closed down the mental hospitals that remained closed for the 35 years which caused the homeless situation? Or is this the guy who ruined the economy for 40 years because he killed unions, shipped jobs overseas and made it so rich people aren’t taxed? Or Singh is the guy who sold Newsom his house in Sacramento #teamhondo

Reagan invented crack cocaine for the ghetto

Yes, the left’s playbook hasn’t changed but it can be overcome. Reagan got 66% of the white vote in 1984. Trump got 58% in 2016. You still need guys like me to win big and get mandates.RaceBannon said:

Back in the olden days, conservatives knew bashing government was political theatre; conservatives didn't actually behave as if government was the enemy. Ronald Reagan's policies were both pro-government and pro-big government. This was true for him as a Governor and President. The nuts who took over the conservative brand during the past 20 years actually do seem to believe government is the enemy. Of course government will not shrink anytime soon for reasons having to do with math and shit. The only question that really matters is whether we're going to borrow to pay for it or fund it in real time.
