How did Ronald Reagan, who knew nothing about international relations or even where some countries were, who was extremely ill-prepared to become President of the United States — how did he win by a record number of votes and then become one of our best Presidents ever?
1) cutting taxes – no chance I’m doing this
2) beefing up military – nope
3) cutting the deficit – no, I have too much spending in mind. The more bloated the government is, the more power I have, I will keep spending.
Bill — also a beloved and great President — cut the deficit, balanced budgets. Really was Newt Gingrich, but Bill helped, I think, and got most of the credit.
I’m prepared to be President. But, what will I be remembered for? Certainly not for cutting spending or helping US out of the financial mess Obama has us in. Thanks, Obama.
Trump is woefully unprepared to be President. Let’s hope the voters don’t remember that Reagan was, too. Is it possible that a business man would make a good President?
This is supposed to be a mechanism to reflect on my historic run for the White House and to help me remember the trail. Need to stop thinking about Trump and start thinking about myself. Hard to do when my advisors keep talking about “Trump this and Trump that.” And pushing all this debate prep. Literally killing me. Frustrating.
