    Reagan was a racist

    Is that why you didn’t vote for him?

    Reagan was a racist

    Because welfare queen stereotypes? War on crack cocaine? His being anti-affirmative action?

    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 same calling Trump a racist called Reagan 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

    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 still owe you a response in another thread but need a keyboard for that.

    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.

    To be continued...

    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
