You may have gone to college, but you aren't "well educated". Did Reagan say "mean things"? YOU BET HE DID! How old were you when he first ran for president against Ford ? Christian Barnard was also a miraculous surgeon and quite religious, but that didn't qualify him, nor did he run for the presidency of South Africa!

Sigh. I was merely defending Carson's homeschooler base. These aren't stupid people or stupid children.

I was 5 when Reagan lost to Ford. I was 9 when Reagan won against Carter. We followed him closely in my house, I've re-watched all his speeches, and my oldest sister worked for him. Ronald Reagan said stern things, but he was a gentleman always. He would never have stooped to gross attacks on his opponent, a Christian man. Policy is fair game.

Show me one stump speech where Reagan stuck out his belt buckle and asked someone to knife it. Show me where he called his opponent pathological, like a child molester. Would Reagan have called Iowa voters stupid?

I never said Carson should be president, or that he was my favorite. But I'm pointing out how unwise it is for Trump to continue these scathing personal attacks on a good man.

I'm making Trump supporters here very angry indeed. I can only imagine it's a sign that Trump's lost it.

No, it is a sign that Trump supporters know the damage a Ben Carson or GOPe candidate will do to the country if one of them should win the presidency.

Your imagination, as well as your knowledge of President Reagan are terribly flawed.

Reagan didn't run against someone like Carson, so your argument is apples and oranges.

I worked on Reagan's campaign in Chicago and he won Ill.! Okay, being a "FAVORITE SON" helped, but no 9 year old knows/understands what an adult does.

Reagan was a known "swordsman" in Hollyweird, and adulterer, and impregnated Nancy long before they married. He wasn't a "saint" but he was an extremely good president!
