I get antsy with the glorification of Reagan.

Too much, "Ronald Reagan would not approve..." or 'be approved' in today's Republican Party.

Bullshit. Reagan is the cornerstone of today's Republican Party.

I get what they're trying to do - the right did it many years with JFK (how many times do you recall hearing JFK would not be a Democrat if he were alive today?). But it's egregious here. Everything the Republican Party has become was born, in some way, through Reagan's fascist presidency.

I will concede one point: I don't think Reagan would have ever kowtowed Putin like Trump has.

But we also know how cozy Reagan was to right-wing dictators, so, even then, his not liking Putin would only be a byproduct of his connection to Russia and nothing to do with him overall.

Still, it's fantasy to believe Reagan would be shunned by today's Republicans. And it's even more fantasy to believe Reagan would have shunned today's Republican Party. I just don't see it. And that's saying something considering Dick Cheney has all but shunned the Party of Trump.

1. Ronald Reagan was a ****ing monster, morally. He'd fit right in with today's 'pukes.

I guess I'm raising your "antsy".
There were no true successes in his 8 years. Only carnage & illusion.

4. Reagan had to deal with a Democratic House his entire two terms

Why did they pass everything he signed into law?

14. I'm going to tell you EXACTLY how good of a president Reagan was

On September 15, 1988, the United States Government ran out of money. This isn’t some weird debt ceiling shit. The government is actually SUPPOSED to run out of money on September 30 at 11:59 pm, but Reagan ran it into the ground two weeks early. All us NCOs were running around to our troops: for God’s sake, don’t ****ing break anything until the first of October!

Ronald Reagan was the president who wanted a Navy with 600 ships in it, but if he’d gotten this Navy one of six ships would have remained in port because he didn’t want to add enough sailors to use those ships.

Let us not forget Reagan’s 4.5:1 ratio of tax hikes to tax cuts.

Yeah, Reagan used to be the worst of the worst, although Trump was as kind to that title as he was to the Bonwit Teller friezes. Reagan is still really ****ing bad.

16. Swap Reagan and Trump in time, and Trump would have been a one term forgotten President

He did not have the skills to manipulate the Congress and Senate in 1980

Well, Beautiful (MORONIC) Disaster , you got only 2 things correct.

One, yes you are indeed a "disaster"  :lmao: and two,  "Reagan is the cornerstone of today's Republican Party."

And btw did you know that Reagan started out as a Democrat ?

And why he later became a Republican?  Bet you don't!  Let me apprise you ...

He did not leave the Democrat Party,  and in his own words, they left him!  Look it up for yourself.

Of course the DUchebag DUmmys would hate President Reagan because he actually made life better for America and Americans.

These "people" make me sick and the country would be far better off if they had never existed, FAR BETTER.

Ray-Gun Man bad!

In all seriousness, what's with these weird retrospective rants they keep having about Reagan? Have they still not recovered from the humiliating defeats of '80 and '84?

Cause the Rethugs stole it from Mondale!!! /DUmp   :-)

Every time I see this nonsense about how horrible Ray-Gun was, keep in mind, he still holds the record for the E.C. Something tells me, he wasnt as horrible as the Island Inhabitants make it out to be.

Given those two blowout elections (in both electoral votes and nationwide popular vote), I'm surprised we haven't seen some "Well, democracy has its flaws sometimes" posts at DU.

Ha! Its just more fuel for their claims that the E.C. is outdated, and we should only elect presidents based on how California votes.... except that time. Then only follow New York. Or something..

It's the DUmmy variation of the accusation that 'Republicans Pounce', that's seen in the lefty owned/controlled msm far and wide.
