I have done quite a bit of volunteer work for my State party, and am familiar with the types of college "majors" that they look for when they hire.
Wow. I must thank you. I expected to insult you and here you are doing it yourself. Seriously, I resent you calling yourself a Republican. I'd prefer if you said you were a "Conservative." They are not the same thing.
Of course the "walls" were the point of the quote. The balance of it would stand alone and make YOUR point; however, the fact that he specifically said it makes mine.
I said I "volunteered" for the Republican party, as you well know. I am familiar with the types of people that they HIRE. You fit the profile quite well.
You will get your wish that conservatives don't call themselves Republicans; and your type will have caused it. Reagan was a conservative; a true believer, and great thinker, who dragged the Republicans (kicking and screaming) to power. It's sickening to see his legacy being taken over by a bunch of moderate Democrats.
