Was just thinking the other day.....
none | today | me

Posted on 07/02/2018 2:36:03 PM PDT by nesnah

It hit me the other day.

The first Presidential election I was eligible to vote in was 1980.

Since January 20, 1989, I have been wishing for a Ronald Reagan on steroids.

I got my wish in November of 2016.

The kicker:

THE BEST PRESIDENTS of my lifetime have had the first names of Ronald and Donald.

Just a fun observation.....carry on.

Can identify with that.
BTW, if you haven’t been to the Reagan Museum in Simi Valley CA, please go.
A memorable and moving experience for those who deeply regarded Dutch R.

Like you, my first time voting eligibility for President was in 1980, except I voted for Jimmy Carter. You see, back then, I called myself a Democrat. I was told they fought for the little guy, and the GOP was only for the rich.

That changed in 1981 when I too got a nice tax break. I realized then I had been lied to by the Democrats and their media. Been a Republican ever since.

No other first names rhyme with Ronald and Donald, so from now one, all presidents must rotate between those two. Ronald II in 2024, Donald II in 2032, and so on.

My first presidential election was 1976. I voted for Reagan in the primary.

Unfortunately, he did not prevail.

"Was just thinking the other day....."

Good job. Not bad for a first try. You should work up to thinking every day.

You found your way home.

I recall election night 1976 when Carter won. My Dad said “Son, we are in for a world of shit from this peanut farmer”.

“Good job. Not bad for a first try. You should work up to thinking every day.”


Gee, I guess you’d be counted as one of the board assholes.

Disagree. Try L, B & J.

I find it amazing how fast Trump is undoing the Kenyan’s legacy. ObamaCare has all but collapsed. As well as his other policies.

But the aftermath of the Great Society still infects this nation like an treated case of HIV.

Which reminds me, my McDonalds App has a $1.00 for an Large Sandwich Deal and a Free 6 Piece McNuggets because the Dodgers weren’t scored on in the 6th Inning yesterday.

I’ll give credit to POTUS Trump while I chow down later today.
