gcreptile 11,055 Posted September 16, 2015 Tonight is another Republican primary debate, this time the traditional Ronald Reagan library debate. The procedure is such that Nancy Reagan 'invites' the candidates to the debate (which she did) and appears in the auditorium. Let's see if she does tonight... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Posted September 17, 2015 It looks like the real Nancy Reagan didn't turn up last night..Probably best that she didn't. If she was forced to sit through that 3 hour borefest it would probably have killed her .It nearly killed me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shroud 19 Posted January 9, 2016 Far as the 2016 election goes, how interesting it proves to be will depend a lot on what happens woth Trump, I think. No doubt he'll run an Indie bid if he feels he's somehow screwed out of the Rep nomination, and there seems to be lots of schemes afloat to see that he does not get-same regardless of popularity, or whatever votes he ends up getting. That debate on the 15th should prove worht the wait, and might knock one more of the lowest-polling ones out before the actual process gets underway. On Nancy Reagan, well, if there was true justice, when she expires,( whenever that is), she would be buried underneath the entrance/exit of the "herr" Reagan presidential Library in California, and "Ronnie" himself re-buried right beside her so all would have to trample on them, coming and going, if you will. Reagan was not universally loved by all in the US by any means. That is one hell of a fancy final resting place for the old buzzard, I have to grant (for those who haven't seen photos of it).

You say that but at the 2012 presidential election I was suggesting that Nancy could die to swing some sympathy votes for Mitt Romney and here we are just starting the cycle again.

rockhopper penguin 2,265 Posted January 27, 2016 someone is surely going to die in the lead up to election. George Bush snr Jimmy Carter Nancy Reagan who else is out there and tettering on the brink Ooh, I haven't had a good tetter in ages. But back on topic the only thing that is likely to revive Jed Bush's campaign is if Bush Snr or even W kick the bucket (or maybe both - but it would have to be of natural causes, any hint of ISIS involvement would play right into Trump's hands).
