I didn’t mean to make this about Ronny Raygun...he turned out to be a great president the country needed at the time but he wasn’t perfect. We are still paying for the good he did. And Trump with all his faults did a magnificent job but again we are paying for all the greatness he did...outside all the posturing that has done so much damage along the way.

I would not want to see a George Cloony or Mathew McCoughnahy or Oprah Winfrey become president of the United States. Nothing good could come from them!

Let's be honest, too many of those sitting in those once hallowed halls already view themselves as celebrities and not public servants.
