Reagan Aide, “If Your Afraid Of Donald Trump Do Not Run”
GOP candidates concerned about of facing Donald Trump in upcoming presidential debates should not be running, says Jeffrey Lord, who served as an aide to President Ronald Reagan.
“It’s really amazed me. In the beginning, there were some people who said he should not go on the stage,” Mr. Lord said in a TV appearance Friday.
“The fact of the matter is that if they cannot handle Donald Trump on that stage, they have no business being in the Oval Office where they would have to deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin and all the rest of the world.”

Short, but good.
I don’t mean to nit-pick, but shouldn’t it be “You’re” instead of “Your” ? Just askin’ ....
But let us not forget Hillary, who must hide from the public and run from reporters.
I think your right! You’re point is well taken.
You know we have real opinions here on FR when the articles are posted as-is, and show absolutely no evidence of proof-reading.
:D
That’s the way it was posted. Sorry, but it’s still a very valid point.
Should be a fun debate. I hope Trump runs the lily livered pantywaists off the stage and into oblivion.
““The fact of the matter is that if they cannot handle Donald Trump on that stage, they have no business being in the Oval Office where they would have to deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin and all the rest of the world.””
This is a very salient point! But too generic.
You’re, not your.
Yes, such is the state of education in our nation that a headline is wrong.
It’s great when you’ve got an aggressive RINO driving off the passive RINOs.

Not sure apostrophe actually works in a URL - I don’t think it does. So maybe that’s why it turned out to be “your” rather than “you’re”. Maybe it should have been fully spelled i.e. “you-are” when included in a URL (link: http://...).
LOL! "Hate to be a nitpicker, but here goes...."
It took a bit, but I got over myself enough that I no longer correct statements I am responding to and only ask clarification if my pea brain can't figure it out.
BTW, proper way to ask your question would have been to insert a comma after the word before the quote -- ...be, "You're..."
Of course, I take "poetic license" all the time and even use incomplete sentences a lot, so who am I to nitpick (which is also a valid word w/o the hyphen....)?????
Thanks for the opportunity to chill out a bit from the rst of the news....
Well, actually no comma is needed after the “be” because the quote marks aren’t being used to quote someone but to refer to a word as a word (like I referred to “be” in this sentence).
Clever
Since the spelling has been pointed out, I will point out that there is no need to copy/paste the url into either the article snip or the comment.
The FR posting screen is the only place where we need to put in the url. The program makes the source title a hotlink to the source. If we check “this is an excerpt’ then second hot link will show at the end (”more at....”)
Lousy editing by that blog. If you want folks to read and respect your views, you need to know the difference between ‘your’ and ‘you’re’.
Indeed. You have beaten me to it!
I am assuming that the error is in the original article, and not our FReeper FRiend’s!
Should be a great debate! Trump is a bigger-than-life personality. I wonder how tall he is? He doesn’t cower, back down or flinch - I like that. Cruz has the same qualities, but, in a milder way. I like both personalities, as they compliment each other.
The writer of the headline obviously isn't familiar with contractions.
