First of all, there's no such thing as "Reagan's Eleventh Commandment", like you're claiming.
AND, Reagan didn't say it.
During Ronald Reagan's 1966 campaign for governor of California, Republicans established the so-called Eleventh Commandment: "Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican."
It was proposed by State Republican Chairman Gaylord Parkinson to help prevent a repeat of the liberal Republican assault on Barry Goldwater that laid the foundation for Goldwater's trouncing in the 1964 presidential election.
Just as Nelson Rockefeller and his East Coast cronies had branded Goldwater as an "extremist" who was unfit to hold office, so candidate George Christopher and California's liberal Republicans were leveling similar personal attacks on Reagan. Party liberals eventually followed Parkinson's advice, and the rest is history.
It was never meant to curtail rival candidates vying for the same office from taking on one another. Sheeesh!
Thank you for the history lesson...although somewhat gratuitous and overly-precise.
BTW... Rick Sanctimonious lost his last PA Senate race by 20 points...gotta make you wonder what he is doing up there on the debate stage with the other folks besides drawing air and taking up space.
Some years ago Rick was the fair-haired boy in the Republican party. He has since been replaced with Rubio, Ryan and others.
What has he got remaining other than a permanent guest spot on the Greta show?
