You need a pen and paper to take an online quiz? How 1980’s.

OK, OK... duly noted

What kind of goofy answers are at the link? Some of them are WRONG. (Reagan and Wyman’s 2 children are Maureen and Michael, not Ron and Patty.) There are other errors too. Has Reaganite Republican been hacked?

Number 4 is wrong. Other then that I got 13 out of 15.

[Dr. Sivana]

You better double check your proposed answer to #4.

[Dr. Sivana]

I got them all except the jelly bean question and the Liddy Dole answer.

The one suggesting that Arthur Laffer was a 1938 movie was kind of weird.

[Reaganite Republican]

Sorry- duh

[Vendome]

13 out 15...

[verga]

Missed the nick name one.
