In contrast to in-control Reagan, this is kind of sad.

The fear and confusion is written all over his face.

Who the hell is pulling his strings?

Classic Reagan

Biden is in way over his head. The Democrats figure he will be easy to manipulate since his memory and platform are fluid.

Not true. His wife used to prompt him all the time.

Reagan was reviled by the press so I wouldn't bet the farm on the historical record that doesn't match how he saved the country from the Carter years.

The press also painted his wife as a whacko, something to do with mysticism or something.

What bullshit. He left the country practically bankrupt.

Consider this to be an equivalent presentation of proof and reasoning.

We have the weaker - Bidon as the elect Dem - to be taken apart by Trump in the general.

all because the stronger candidate against tRump is a "shock shock shock" a com......er Socialist.

talk about cutting off ones face to get trounced by Trump!

..........

to me i choose a candidate that can win even if his policies are not mine, over one with policies closer to mine, but senile and so can not win over tRump.

but i'm not the elecorate, so whatever.

welcome 5 more yrs of Trump folks ;-(.

Yes, he is senile - not as senile as Trump is moronic though.
But that will not help the so-called Democratic party.
It's the elites and the media they own that runs the USA. And if they say Bernie is a communist wanting to tear down the fabric of democratic freedom then there will be those who, too concerned with which new phone to buy next, will hear this again and again, and be too stupid to figure out that it is a bare faced lie; understood subliminally.
Americans are sleep walking into a second term with the Moron.
Biden is just a second Trump anyway- so the Presidential Election will make no real difference where it matters - to growing poverty, inequality and lack of real opportunity.

Sorry...not the case. Take a look at the NY Times, certainly no friendly source to Reaganomics.

Wiki concurs.

Reagan rescued the country from the Carter years.

1984 United States presidential election

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_ ... l_election

“The bad economy of 1982 ended, and the economy recovered very quickly. During the election, the economy was the greatest has ever been in many years. Ronald Reagan called it "Morning In America".

(Since he’s that kind of guy, Trump is likely aiming to top Reagan’s historic election.)

If he is nominated Biden is likely to repeat Clinton’s counter-intuitive tactic of avoiding unscripted publicity during the campaign, because no one knows what might fly out of his mouth next. I heard that his debate with Sanders might be a sit down, which supposedly works to his advantage more than standing at a podium. Sanders of course knows that the fix is in. The puppet-master caused the entire field to drop out within a span of hours.

Oh please, there was a worldwide so-called 'boom' in the 1980s which all came crashing down in 1987--WHILE he was president. Reagan was president during the 'greed is good' years. It was an artificial 'economic boom' that had nothing to do with general standard of living. Worldwide interest rates were through the roof. All it did was create lots of millionaires in a short space of time (and 'uncreated' them even quicker )
This is the kind of crap that mis-nomered 'neo-liberalism' inflicts on populations. People think that because there are more millionaires then the country in general must be doing well. This country suffered through a 'neo-liberal' Govt. for 9 horrible years. It was referred to as a 'rock star' economy for fuck sake, yet when they took over there were essentially NO homeless people here and by the time they left office there were tens of thousands (one of the worst in the developed world) and the next Govt. inherited the biggest debt by a long shot in our history. Now we have BEGGARS! That's uneard of here! Some 'rock star'.

Not going to subscribe thanks. And what a surprise--the two moronic religious nuts agreeing with each other. There is no point in trying to reason with religious nuts anyway. It's a waste of energy.

Then again, 'neo-liberal' fuckers are sociopaths anyway and they love the sight of homeless beggars--it makes them feel all warm and fuzzy and superior because it conforms with their idea of a 'eugenics utopia'--where only the financially well off deserve to live. The 1987 crash was very humbling for your average stock-market multi-millionaire....It's hard to be smug about the poor when you end up being one of them

Perhaps you would like to offer your own argument instead of lazy links. I can't comment on the link and I wouldn't know what the political persuasions are of the writers. And it's a bit rich coming from you, who will agree with ANYTHING as long as it fits with your political agenda. I'm not like that. You liked Reagan, so in your eyes he could do no wrong. If a Democrat did some of the things Trump is doing you would call him a 'commie'.
