“Bobby Kennedy convinced him he should go into politics as a candidate.”
That’s not exactly how Michael Reagan tells the story.
I heard him say in an interview that Robert Kennedy had GE fire Ronald Reagan as host of the GE Theater.
In a sense you’re right; but it was Kennedy’s chicanery that resulted in Ronaldus Maximus becoming president. That was no act of altruism on Kennedy’s part. No Kennedy I know understands the word.
Excellent, you are informed and observant. I was deliberately obtuse in my relating Kennedy's part. One who thinks left will read it as lauding Kennedy's statesmanship (LOL), an informed reader would spell it differently, as you did.
The important part is that the entire left, Rats and MSM is consumed by that chicanery, lying and Marxist philosophy, and Ronald Reagan LEARNED that. Then he decided that he would LEAD as well as promote, create, and support conservative principles and policy. Sarah Palin has also now learned that critical lesson about the left, and acts accordingly. As such her path to candidacy will be much different than the typical GOP candidate.
Wasn't Reagan arguing politics when he was representing GE instead of just being a celebrity front man for GE?
