GOP candidates’ clumsy attempts to ‘get their Ronnie on’

Stephen Colbert mocks Reagan-loving GOP candidates’ clumsy attempts to ‘get their Ronnie on’

“(Wednesday’s) debate was held at the Reagan Library, a Mecca for people who would never compare it to Mecca, so naturally, the Republican field is doing anything they can to get their Ronnie on,” Colbert said.

He pointed out that Donald Trump had ripped off his campaign slogan and promised to “make America great again,” while Jeb Bush has been sporting a Reagan/Bush campaign T-shirt from 1984, and he joked that Carly Fiorina had not only swiped “the Gipper’s” tax policy but had changed her hairstyle to resemble the former president’s.

Colbert showed a famous Reagan campaign ad from 1984 that used a bear to symbolize the threat from the Soviet Union, and he showed a remarkably similar ad released this week by Sen. Ted Cruz that featured a scorpion to represent a more vague — but arguably more menacing — threat.

What a shame that memory of an American icon is tarnished by the embarrassment that is today's GOP.

Although, it was Ronnie that invited the "Christians" into the big tent. Little did he know that they were "Christian" in name only - CINO's and knew nothing of the teachings of Christ.

Ronnie RayGun was among the most dishonest and corrupt of our presidents but RWs like the fairy tale.

Actually, I think most are like Ronnie in that they too are corrupt and dishonest.

I was just sitting and wondering what a fag, Muslim Marxist thought of the debate, and bam, there you are! Thanks for that perspective, very enlightening

The group last night are a bunch of stiffs

No personality, no sense of humor, no charm...no wit

Reagan would light up the room....this group might as well work in a morgue

No, he fully grasped you can't make it on your own without handouts. You clowns always confuse not giving a shit with not getting it

The Republicans. We're just pointing it out and counter-punching the fantasies of a right wing Camelot.

CNN ran a loose operation. The moderators lost control and came up with inane questions something "what's your favorite color". It made for a sloppy debate and that might have been the intent.
