1980 Election Redux?

[jwoodie]

In 1980, Ronald Reagan was elected President, despite being dismissed as a lightweight "cowboy" who had no business running for that office. Have our demographics changed so much that a repetition is no longer possible?

I hope not.

You mean Ronald Reagan- the popular two term governor of the most populated state in the United States?

Yes. Do you have any other questions?

If for a moment you believe Donald Trump is anything like Ronald Reagan, well you are foolish incorrect!

If you think things are in a mess now (and who doesn't?), four years of non-government will absolutely destroy the country.
The very idea of 'removing regulations' is an attack on civilization.

Your post mortem cannonization of Ronald Reagan is touching, but the point is that both campaigns characterized them as lightweight candidates who stood little chance of beating their "more qualified" opponents.

You have no clue what an anarchist is, but you are right about Trump not being a conservative.

 

[Mousterian]

Well, Taz, you seem to have some concept of anarchism, could you explain your view on this?
Sam Harris recently said Trump's mind is like a balloon that's been blown up, and let go.
I think he nailed it there...
