Wrong comparison. Lyndon Johnson was carrying on for the slain Kennedy of Camelot. No republican was going to win that one.
A better comparison is conservative Reagan following the disastrous liberal Jimmy Carter.
Absolutely. In 79 and 80 we were all ashamed. Who punishes their own Olympic athletes, not to mention interest rates, hostages held by Iran. I knew Bambi would make Carter look like Margaret Thatcher. I didn’t know he would transform USA into a third world marxist bed of corruption.
Seems like more anger than shame this time. Maybe it’s my older age.
Just as Bush Sr. got elected by implicitly promising to be the third term for Reagan, and when he wasn't, he got booted.
Agreed, but there is a historical twist to add here.
The media sell out is so total on the left, they are so fully immersed in the "success" of the bamster, they will go to no end to sell him to the public.
Consider the reporting on Benghazi and the unsuccessful helicopter rescue of the American hostages in Iran. They succeeded in portraying zero culpability and irresponsibility on the bamsters part, they did not do that back in 1980 for Carter.
They want to make certain that another Reagan cannot succeed, that no other rat will fail.
To me, that's the very reason we need someone like Cruz, who handles the media better than anyone since Reagan, who is fearless in confronting the evil of the left with a smile, a devastating critique, and a vision for a better way.
Cruz 2016!
