Earnest Really Doesn’t Know His Electoral History, Claims Reagan Didn’t Win Two Majorities
Washington Free Beacon ^ | July 28, 2016 | David Rutz

Wanna brighten your day? Go to youtube and look up 1980 election night coverage. The look on the faces of the media is priceless.

That was a great night!

My first presidential election about 2 weeks after turning 18.

Did he mention that Hitlery’s husband didn’t get 50 percent of the vote either time he was elected? Didn’t think so.

And we expected accuracy, honesty, and saneness from this overpaid, lying mouthpiece of incompetence and arrogance?

He makes Candy Crowley seem sane.

Want to be truly inspired and depressed at the same time (to see how far we’ve fallen)? Watch Reagan’s first inaugural address. The last 3 minutes or so will send chills down your spine.

Go to youtube and look up 1980 election night coverage.

Almost as fun as the "temper tantrum" of the American electorate in 1994.

The only Election Day that I enjoyed more was 1980, when Reagan whipped that turd Carter. I knew that our nation was saved.

I may enjoy it more this year, to see the Witch defeated, her dreams of running all of our lives smashed on the rocks.

Wonder how much a pay-per-view Bumfight of some bum beating the teeth out of Earnest’s pieing lie-hole would haul in?
