Since Reagen years who have.would you have voted for?

I think Clinton would but Obama not, Reagan I think would have ran to 1992 by then health was really affecting him.

God bless Reagan what a man! Started a leftie but he made up for it big time

Reagan and Maggie made a hell of a team

 

No, you are wrong. If there had not been a 22d Amendment Clinton would never have been nominated. as for Obama, he would still be in Illinois.

No, you are wrong. If there had not been a 22d Amendment neither of those two would have been elected in the first place.

 

I am so correct I had to say it twice.

LOL!

 

Country fractured already in 2012 against romney

The reason trump won was not only because of that fracture, i think few people dispute hillary was a BAD candidate.... and still the race was a squeeker. Obama was a much better candidate. And sitting presidents tend to win

 

That may be true, with the following exceptions.

Incumbent Presidents that lost:

J. Adams
J. Q. Adams
M. Van Buren
G. Cleveland
B. Harrison
W. Taft
G. Ford
J. Carter
G. H. W. Bush

Incumbents that were not re-nominated:

J. Tayler
M. Fillmore
F. Pierce
J. Buchanan
A. Johnson
C. Arthur

Incumbents who did not seek re-election:

J. Polk
R. Hayes
T. Roosevelt
C. Coolidge
H. Truman
L. Johnson

There is no need for the 22d Amendment. It needs to be repealed.

 

I wish voting fixed the government. It would convince me to vote.

 

2000 bush
2004 bush
2008 mccain
2012 mit Romney
2016 Donald Trump

 

Reagan and Maggie - tag team Eugenics. I think you are reading too much revisionist history.

Reagan was a fiscal disaster - increased the debt even more than Obama on a percentage basis. He ran huge deficits which led to a near fiscal catastrophe. 12 years of Republican fiscal disaster if you include Bush Sr - which left the nation on the brink of fiscal insolvency.

Interest on our debt as a ratio of income was over 25%. (Today it is something like 12%). At 30% alarm bells go off at the IMF - the ship is taking in water faster than it can be bailed out and if something is not done soon the ship will sink.

Reagan was an absolute disaster. Clinton and the Republican congress did not reign in spending and lower the deficit to zero because they wanted to - they did it because they HAD TO.

There were many other Reagan the dude was a fiscal disaster - spent money like a princess with a credit card and initiated the process by which a whole lot of US manufacturing was outsourced.

We lucked out during the Clinton years. While it is true that they did reign in spending - they benefited by a "white swan event". The internet/technology revolution kicked in - and subsequent dot com bubble - which resulted in a huge increase in revenue.

 

I was born during the George H.W. Bush years in a non-US country and didn't really form any political opinions until the time of the Iraq War. But now that I have some knowledge of US history and politics, here's how I would vote if I was present in 1980 and knew everything I know today.

1980 - Jimmy Carter
1984 - Walter Mondale
1988 - Michael Dukakis
1992 - Bill Clinton
1996 - Bill Clinton
2000 - Ralph Nader
2004 - Ralph Nader
2008 - Ralph Nader
2012 - Jill Stein
2016 - Jill Stein

 

Let me guess Trump for 2020 ha ha ha

 

I don't think that Trump will be getting nominated the next time around.

 

I predict GOP wins midterms by 1 or 2 seats.

The Trump slams it in 2020 just got a hunch.

Time will tell but I made my bets a lot time ago

I should bet on 2022 midterms the odds are probably still good.

 

2008: Ron Paul.

 

Stop misunderestimating her credibility by refudiating her intelligence!

 

I voted for Reagan twice.

Then I grew up, and I've voted for Democrats ever since. I figure I owe a lifetime of penance for those Reagan votes. I was young and naive, that's my excuse.

 

I always voted for the best candidate.

That candidate was always a Republican.

From Ford to Trump.

 

With the benefit of hindsight I wouldn't go with Clinton, Al Gore or Obama but I was trying to put myself in my mindset at that time. I was very anti Iraq war and I never liked Bush.

 

I'll play. I'm English too. So feel free to boo hiss and spit.

Carter first time, too young. Don't remember.
Carter. Not a second time. Definitely not.

Reagun both times.
Bush maybe. Can't remember the other. with hindsight yes, otherwise? meh.

Clinton. Meh the first time.
Definitely not the second time.

Al Gore? No ****ing way.
Bush the first time
Meh the second time.

Obama. Damn straight. First black President.
Second time... meh.

Trump. Definitely the first time.
Second time, probably. He is my fave of all US presidents.

 

Call it a wild guess Baff but I'd say you're a Maggie fan like myself?

Sorry St. Maggie

 

I've got an autographed photo somewhere.
My parents loved her.
I'm not anti, but I'm not overwhelmed about her.
Mildly positive.
