Oh Yeah? Try these, you and others may remember these:
Reagan: “Ask yourself, ‘Are you better off now than you were four years ago? Is it easier for you to go and buy things in the stores than it was four years ago? Is there more or less unemployment in the country than there was four years ago? Is America as respected throughout the world as it was?”
Reagan: “There you go again.”
Reagan said:
“I want you to know also I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience.”
Bentsen: Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy, I knew Jack Kennedy, Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy.
Not to mention George H.W. Bush just glancing at his watch!
I would say you are categorically WRONG! They may not decide an election in and of themselves, but having a great influence, is undeniable.
“Bentsen: Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy, I knew Jack Kennedy, Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you’re no Jack Kennedy.”
Really? How did that election pan out? did Bentsen win?
