“At this point in 1980 Reagan trailed Carter by up to 30 points. Get your facts straight.”
I thought we were talking Primaries here. You know where Reagan succeeded in uniting the base where Trump has succeeded in doing the opposite.
You and the GOPe are doing everything you can to make sure that there will be no unity once Trump has the nomination.
Reagan united the base only after picking GWHB for Veep.
Also, you didn’t have the GOPe in 1980 telling the voters that they were nuts, screaming that Reagan was a fraud, etc., and saying that they’d vote for Carter. Gerry Ford did NOT come out and slam Reagan.
Trump’s manners (or lack thereof) are surely part of the reason that some people won’t support him...but so are the attitude and the actions of the 2016 GOPe.
