You call me "petty" when I quote your own words back at you.
You also called me "clever" so I cleverly deduce that you are Trump supporter.
It is part of the "main point" to read the article the citation of which I had forwarded to you called, "Donald Trump Is No Ronald Reagan" in which the author debunks any comparison between Trump and Reagan and between 1980 and 2016. It might help your disposition if you read it.
As usual, you are erudite, eloquent, and dead wrong about Donald Trump...
When you won't recognize the simple truth that Reagan was further behind than Trump was at this point in polling for the 1980 election, you're being petty.
When you gave up the conservative principle of accepting a true statement, you became petty.
And now you try your condescension side.
Looks good on you.
