In his 1966 campaign for California governor, Republican Ronald Reagan promised to to clean up the mess at Berkeley. Reagan was referring to the unrest prevalent not just at the University of California, Berkeley, but on college campuses throughout state. Students and faculty alike were engaged in protests, demonstrations, and strikes related to issues such as the draft, civil rights, discrimination, and womens liberation.

Read it and learn a little bit about history and who Ronald Reagan really was.
Listen to candidates like Cruz and Rubio talk how they are continuing Ronald Reagan's legacy while they take the sides of the organized thugs who shut down Trump rallies. Then ask yourself which candidate is like Reagan.
Churchill was blamed for antagonizing Hitler by Chamberlain and the British establishment. Ask yourself, which candidate is like Churchill.
This is it! Reagan’s poll numbers will tank now, I tell ya! Better stick to acting!
And he voted for FDR!
Reagan: Those who want to get an education [hear a speech] and those who want to teach [give a speech] should be protected at the point of a bayonet if necessary.
Not only that, Reagan was a liberal democrat who knowingly associated with liberals. No way Reagan gets elected. /sarc
GOPe/neocon mouthpiece Michael Medved was an organizer of some of the 1960s antiwar protests. Giving aid and comfort to the Communists of Hanoi as they killed American GIs.
Supposedly his picture along with Jane Fondas is occasionally put on the targets in towns with both significant numbers of Vietnam vets and gun ranges. Used to think he was a real genuine conservative until a friend educated me somewhat angrily. Boy...was I ever fooled.
Cruz, Rubio and Megyn Kelly read this and said it was Reagans fault.
I was staying in Berkeley California in the spring /summer of 1969 when the Berkeley radicals kicked off the so-called Peoples Park riots . Reagan’s response instant and it was strong . The Calif Nt; Guard was deployed to the streets , complete with armored PC’s and concertina barbed wire and uniformed troops with fixed bayonets . Overhead , helos tracked riot crowd concentrations and hit them with tear gas from the choppers . Crowds were rounded up , en masse and ARRESTED! Then sent to a huge stadium in Alameda near Oakland . They were held there for days and not easily released . All those released had been charged with misdemeanors or felonies . THIS is what needs to happen again with the anti=Trump rioters today .
If dipshit Obama won’t order it then the military should depose him , take charge and bring order to our country , until we can elect a REAL President ....
If any public figure even suggested that today, Cruz and Rubio would immediately attack him.
