Very impressive on his feet.

Excellently handled by Reagan, and great finishing statement.
I was surprised by Kennedy. Had no idea he was that bad.
Same here! I did not know this took place, a great find.
Poor old Kennedy thought he was gonna' kick sand in hunky lifeguard's face. Silly boy forgot, "We're not in Massachusetts anymore, Toto."
Most of the debate was with these smarmy, commie-symp students than between Reagan and Kennedy. Reagan and Kennedy differed on aspects, but they were clearly 2 people speaking from an American perspective. The students were disrespectful and full of the stupid commie propaganda that used to pass as truth among those who wanted the end of America. I was so glad when these people lost the cold war, so unhappy when they didn't go away.
I like it!
I also LOVE the way Reagan makes Jeff Jordan (whoever he is/was) spell out his objections, then walks all over the guy correcting his false view with the facts of history! Great stuff
Seems no one was that interested in talking to him...sorta just giving him a turn as a courtesy. They wanted to challenge Reagan. And Reagan was never back on his heels. Not once.
Thanks for the transcript. Another Gipper Classic!
The Kennedys are a collection of defomed genes.
Not very nice to speak ill of the dead.
Of course, if you're talking about Ted...I agree.
bump for later

If Reagan had lost, it would be in our collective memories like the King-Riggs tennis match.
