    Hm. Fair Trade? Sounds familiar. I thought someone said that swearing wasn’t something Reagan would do. Obviously that isn’t true.

    A little humor to soothe the soul.

    Great find Stella.

    Reagan reinforces much of what Trump has been saying about international trade.

    1987 America was a different world than is 2016 America. Many Americans still have a backbone of steel but many are jellyfish. Many Americans would rather sit on their ass than make America Great again. Trump will have to fight the lie that it is better to see how much you can get for free rather than how much you can earn.

    Trump will have to educate a large portion of America just so that they understand that our current model of “life in America” is unsustainable.

    I am not sure how Harley Davidson is currently doing if I recall correctly they were in the deep red in 2010.

    Stella, some minor credit also belongs to Malcolm Forbes, appearing in Harly commercials. Malcolm, riding a hog, wearing the leathers.
    Also, 90% of people in that gathering, are registered Democrats.

    I have a very emotional reaction whenever I hear Reagan speak. He reminds what a leader looks like. A man who knows how to encourage his fellow Americans, how to lift them up and let them see how much they are able to accomplish.

    Possibilities, and making America Great Again. Don’t forget – that was his 1980 campaign slogan.

      So do I Stella. Reagan’s appeal was to both sides, he knew the Power of “We The People”. Reagan was personable, a man’s man.

      Speaking of the *look of a leader*.

      Notice at 5:15, they meet. Not a
      warm Summer’s day; yet look at
      how Reagan is attired, then Gorby.

      A sign of strength for Ronnie; but
      Gorby in a Winter’s coat; not so.

      Reagan – always the negotiator.
      Always scoring superior points.

      Descending the stairs to Gorby’s
      level; not wearing a Winter’s coat.

    Hillary may become America’s first woman President.

    Ronald was America’s last man President.

    Look, they didn’t design the Fat Boy for the average person.

    No, they designed it for Fat Boy who pretends to be America’s Hardest Worker.
