Interesting recap of Reagan's unconventional approach to the debate process some 36 years ago.

If this scenario played out today, no doubt many anti-Trump people would be saying how Trump must be "scared" to debate Bush one-on-one by insisting on the other candidates joining the debate.

Fred Thompson did the same thing too. No more hands!

Reagan never had to deal with “moderators” who are so openly partisan as are Crowley and Kelly.

I don’t know.
I tell my kids you guys are lucky, when I was a kid we were slaves, ate dog poop and drank cat pee.
You should feel blessed.

Title: I see this as a high credential. Reagan was the last real, true, caring PRESIDENT this country had. He loved this country and deeply respected the oath of the office he occupied. A 1000 year man.

Cruz and Trump are NOTHING like Reagan when debating. They can’t even get a clue.

Some posters on Commiestate are complaining Radio host Howie Carr is appearing at a Trump Rally next week.

Not even close. Reagan did that once, and not because he got his feelings hurt because the moderator was mean to him...

I’ve seen that tape many times, and it always looked as though Reagan said “Breen.” I was taking note because I had heard Reagan got the name wrong.
