The more I think about it , I side with the woman ,for it was not anything she said, it was more because of what he said and how he said it
There you go.

As a historian, since this photo has shown up twice on this thread, I bristle at the whole lie it conveys. I wish to explain why the Democrats, who had their base in the redneck & racist Confederate States, & among the working class, became a whole different political party.
And why the Republicans, the enlightened party of Abraham Lincoln, who pushed a liberal agenda, became what they currently are, the ultra-conservative, nationalistic party of Trump.
It's all the fault of the Democratic Presidents Kennedy & LBJ. They courted black voters by attempting to right the century-old wrongs of segregation. First Kennedy & then more profoundly, Lyndon Johnson, a pragmatic & polical southerner, fixed many of the wrongs of segregation & thereby offended all those loveable, hard-working, religious, conservative, racist, white southerners, who then became conservative, racist Republicans in a few short years.
So Republicans don’t get to claim Lincoln as their founder any longer, since if slavery was still legal, the Republicans would agree it is a “sacred-institution,” & would fight to retain it.

Then why did they desegregate the Military?
Then why did they impose Jim Crow?
Then why did they put Japanese Americans in camps?
Then why are Democrats still telling women and blacks what to think? You obviously can't handle a different opinion.

Ha, that's pretty funny HermitMaster!
You made a picture of Ronald Reagan on a horse and a one of President Obama on a bike!
So is your point that only one of them is smart enough to wear a helmet?

Hermitmaster? Per your response to my post on why the racist & redneck south switched from Democrat to Republican & the Republicans are no-longer the liberal party of Abraham Lincoln:
Then why did they desegregate the Military?
Then why did they impose Jim Crow?
Then why did they put Japanese Americans in camps?
Then why are Democrats still telling women and blacks what to think? You obviously can't handle a different opinion.
I'm sorry you either choose to not understand, or simply can't understand, what has happened since the 1960's to the traditional Republican & Democratic parties.
Let me help you out:
Trumpian Republicans are mostly ultra-conservative & nationalistic, ultra-religious, opposed to immigration, full of fear of foreigners & those not white, feel that whites are discriminated against by current laws, dislike-change, & want lower taxes & less government interference. They mostly oppose birth control, abortion, gays, & especially same-sex marriage.
Obama Democrats are concerned for the environment, pro-immigration, don’t hate taxes, & welcome government programs & regulations, if their lives are improved by them. Other than that, they mostly hate would-be authority figures, who try to tell them how to think & what to do.

Then why can't you understand that people can have a different opinion than you. And, that it's OK. You don't have a monopoly on the truth. I, personally, don't see a lot of difference in what the Democrats have become. They've gone back to their roots.
Better, learn to get along with your fellow human beings. It will remake you from a being a bitter old man.

Kidding aside Mr. Reagan was a great image and figurehead.
But in actuality give him credit for the S&L crisis and Iran contra
The crisis cost $160 billion. Taxpayers paid $132 billion, and the S&L industry paid the rest. The Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation paid $20 billion to depositors of failed S&Ls before it went bankrupt. More than 500 S&Ls were insured by state-run funds. Their failures cost $185 million before they collapsed.

Hermitmaster! Re your comment:

Pseudo-Christians hypocrites like you do get me fired-up, but don’t think I’m anywhere close to being as bitter as you.
My life is pretty fuking-gud!
The only thing I’m bitter about is, the arzehole president that is ruining the America I love & his clueless supporters like you, who think it’s wonderful.
Two weeks in Italy this fall with friends & my wonderful wife Heidi, including lots of hiking & fine wines.
Co-hosting Donini's City of Rocks party in June.
A blissful January visit to Maui with Heidi.
And lots of other retirement travel & fun with friends.

You didn't address my point. Why can't you learn to get along with people that have a different opinion than you?
