People thought Reagan was a joke at first too.
Some people still do . By the time he left office 138 people in his admin had been indicted , investigated or convicted for something . Reagan wins criminal investigations .
1. Lyn Nofziger--White House Press Secretary - Convicted on charges of illegal lobbying of White House in Wedtech scandal. The lobbying would not have been illegal had he not been White House Press Secretary.
2. Michael Deaver, Reagan's Chief of Staff, received three years' probation and was fined one hundred thousand dollars after being convicted for lying to a congressional subcommittee and a federal grand jury about his lobbying activities after leaving the White House. Same as with Lyn Nofziger.
3. James Watt, Reagan's Secretary of the Interior was indicted on 41 felony counts for using connections at the Department of Housing and Urban Development to help his private clients seek federal funds for housing projects in Maryland, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Watt conceded that he had received $500,000 from clients who were granted very favorable housing contracts after he had intervened on their behalf. Watt was eventually sentenced to five years in prison and 500 hours of community service.
4. John Poindexter, Reagan's national security advisor, guilty of five criminal counts involving conspiracy to mislead Congress, obstructing congressional inquiries, lying to lawmakers, used "high national security" to mask deceit and wrong-doing...
5. Richard Secord pleaded guilty to a felony charge of lying to Congress over Iran-Contra. Appointed by William Casey to assist Oliver North.
6. Elliott Abrams was appointed by President Reagan in 1985 to head the State Department's Latin American Bureau. He was closely linked with ex-White House aide Lt. Col. Oliver North's covert movement to aid the Contras. Working for North, Abrams coordinated inter-agency support for the contras and helped solicit illegal funding from foreign powers as well as domestic contributors. Abrams agreed to cooperate with Iran-Contra investigators and pled guilty to two charges reduced to misdemeanors. He was sentenced in 1991 to two years probation and 100 hours of community service but was pardoned by President George Bush...
7. Robert C. McFarlane, Reagan's National Security Advisor, pled guilty to four misdemeanors and was sentenced to two years probation and 200 hours of community service. He was also fined $20,000. He received a blanket pardon from President George Bush...
It's a really long a really long Iist . Got bored reading it . "The American Petroleum Institute filed suit against the EPA [and] charged that the agency was suppressing a scientific study for fear it might be misinterpreted... The suppressed study reveals that 80 percent of air pollution comes not from chimneys and auto exhaust pipes, but from plants and trees." Presidential candidate Ronald Reagan, in 1979. Holy shit Did that really happen . ? The shit people could get away with saying back then is incredible . But maybe not , because as I'm writing this I'm watching the tea party patriots end the Iran deal thing and trump is talking about how awesome he is , Sara palin is literally waxing stupid , I don't even know what the fuck she is trying to say , but she can still blow me if wants , glen beck is saying when people say there going to exterminate the Jew you should listen , and Michelle Bachman is saying we should just start bombing Iran . And the duck dynasty guy was there talking about God or something not sure why he was there but apparently these are the people conservatives look up too .
That was ....wow . Didn't give Reagan give weapons to Iran at one point?

"I hate Trump"
His annoying personality doesn't invalidate any of his positions (tariffs, trade with china, deporting illegal immigrants).
Nope , it's his complete inability to explain any of his positions or offer up even minor details in a debate that invalidates them .

I find it smart that he doesn't give details from the get go like everyone else. It's not an easy decision like chosing what shirt to wear in the morning. All the other candidates seem to have it all figured out... The election is m
If only we were all lucky enough to be considered qualified to do a job even though we dont really know how the fuck it is we are going to do anything . That would be nice. I've been building walls all my life , anyone who tells me building the kinda wall he's fantasizing about is easy and your going to make someone else pay for it is either a lying fucking cunt or actually mentally retarded.

What I find so ironic is that the MSM doesn't ever ask any of the other politicians (R's or D's) the "details" of their positions, but somehow Trump is the only one that doesn't provide them.
Ahh , mean ol media not being fair to your hero ? He's the one making claims people say isn't possible . If he can't back his shit up with big boy talk then fuck him . He's a pathetic liar .
