“Trump can be rightly criticized for his behavior in this campaign, but when they throw “xenophobia” at him they lose me completely.”
“Reason” needs to change its moniker.

This articleâs title destroys its premise. The titleâs meme is: Reagan did it (and he won), so Trump can do it, and win. No one is going to read the article itself.There are two kinds of people - people who are interested in relevant facts and people who are not. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. Reagan saw his Iowa loss as a kick in the pants and never missed another debate. Maybe Trump will win IA, never participate in another debate and run the table. Or maybe he won't. We'll see soon enough. But to say Reagan skipped the IA debate and went on to win is to miss important details.

Cruz supporters are so desperate theyâll make up any excuse.
Trump could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and his supporters would still support him!

Trump: After several years I’ve decided that sticking a scissors in the back of an infant’s skull and sucking out the brains is probably wrong!

Reagan lost Iowa, despite almost being a native son (i.e. being from neighboring IL). Reagan didn't just come from neighboring IL - he also got his first big break in radio at Iowa radio stations, in Iowa City and then in Des Moines. So Reagan's ties to Iowa were very strong, yet he still lost.

“What gives anyone the right to debate HIM?”
Seriously? Is this a gag post?
Anyone running for office has the right to debate anyone and anyone running for office has the responsibility to show up for a debate.
Donald Trump DOES NOT get a free pass because he’s a billionaire or because he’s the KING of Twitter.
Donald Trump is not a deity - even though many of you out there delusionally would like him to be.

OK, that’s good.
Some Trump posters on here have been edging a little too close to the lines he was using in his post and I thought “Uh-oh!”

To: Zhang Fei
because he thinks Megyn KellyAnd again, no mention of the press releases which pushed Trump over the edge.
Dishonest media once again but that's the media these days.
