Nice try, but there was no besmirching here. Just throwing quotes around without context, same as you.

Nice try? Are you really foolish enough to believe context matters? OK, here are the quotes in context. Enjoy!

Wolf BLITZER: Do you identify more as a Democrat or Republican?

Donald TRUMP: Well, you'd be shocked if I said that in many cases I probably identify more as Democrat.

Now the quote you provided in your lame attempt to try to besmirch the memory of President Reagan.

Sam Donaldson: Mr. President, in talking about the continuing recession tonight you have blamed mistakes of the past and you have blamed the congress; does any of the blame belong to you?

President Reagan: "Yes because for many years I was a Democrat."

Your desperation has reached news lows.
