In reply to the discussion: New Reagan documentary unveils ugly reality [View all]Jspur
(578 posts)66. As a senior in hschool I was rooting for him to fail and wasn't even political
at that age. I just felt he was a very stupid man and because of that he shouldn't be president. Just common sense in my thinking which was to be president you should be an intelligent person. I just remember the stupidity in the media and his supporters which was "Gore is a boring guy. Bush is someone you can have a beer with and that's why he should be president". I was shaking my head at that time thinking "I can't believe this that this dumbass who I feel is less intelligent than the average hschooler is going to win due to some hschool vanity popularity type of garbage."
