Our country’s military is so much more advanced now than in Raegan’s time. Our equipment, plans and technology would be unrecognizable to him. Time has marched on and some of these reps and senators need to get out of the way.

Maybe it would hasten his retirement, though I think he might do some time on his way to the golf course.

… the party of Reagan died seven years ago, shot to death on 5th Avenue. Suspect still at large.

The party of Ronald Reagan is dying? Dude, we've known it's been dead as a doornail for years. Maybe you're just finally realizing - or accepting it. Better late than never, I guess.

Given such a horrible choice, I'll take the Party of Reagan over the Cult of Trump any day.

Since the Democratic Party can't stay healthy without a functional, sane opposing party, the Party of Eisenhower, minus the bigotry of the 50s that infected both parties at the time, would be a much more suitable replacement for the mess we have today.

The bigotry wasn’t a trademark of the Republican Party of the 50’s; the Southern Democratic Party of my parents were the gold standard for racism. That’s why they had become Republicans by the 80s.

Before that the southern states still had democratic governors and senators. For some reason 1994 changed the south. Bad election year for the south.

The Party of Reagan tripled the national debt in eight years. Are you SURE you want to go there?

You've created such chaos and mistrust. And caused so many crossovers. We are indebted.
