Reagan’s divorce was several decades before his run for office and he was not a serial philanderer like Rooty. Moreover, Reagan was upfront about his strained relationship with two of his children and they were on speaking terms.

Your statement that Reagan had skeletons in his closet is without basis.

And, Reagan is the benchmark for conservatism, Rooty is a textbook liberal.

“Reagan’s divorce was several decades before his run for office...”

Oh, I see. WHEN you were divorced is the important factor, huh? I guess if Giuliani waited 30 or so years after his string of divorces, you’d vote him, huh?

“Moreover, Reagan was upfront about his strained relationship with two of his children and they were on speaking terms.”

Irrelevant.

“Your statement that Reagan had skeletons in his closet is without basis.”

That (some of)his children hated his guts, one posed nude while he was in office, and that he divorced Jane Wyman are all facts that can be disputed?

“And, Reagan is the benchmark for conservatism, Rooty is a textbook liberal.”

Ummm, no. Reagan was a Classical Liberal who held some socially conservative views. Learn what “liberal” and “conservative” really mean, before you continue to use them incorrectly in defense of ridiculous arguments, please. Giuliani is a Classical Liberal who holds some socially-conservative views -— do your homework.

What you really mean to say is that Reagan promised you a Constitutional Amendment banning abortion and poldged to put prayer back in the schools, and THAT is why he’s the “benchmark” for “conservatives”.
