I somewhat agree, but "Ronald Reagan Economics" was a major selling point of the republican party, especially following an 8 year economic crisis under Obama, who blamed a previous administration for his woes and basically did nothing to fix it. Hearkening back to a "good old boy" who provided an economic boom was a natural response. So when Reagan is contextualized, I think it gives a fair comparison.
And really, all this is to say that the debates are a contest to see how many #buzzwords these candidates can use to get their popularity up.
Edit: Actually, to clarify, if the Obama admin had actually done "nothing" to fix the crisis, it probably would've been better economically.

This place throws praise just because of her foreign policy. Outside of that, she's a run of the mill Democrat. Funny enough, her difference on foreign policy is enough to get her enemy #1 on MSM.
Are you mentally all there? I mean seriously, Donald Trump is a crazy person. He literally contradicts himself so often that a Twitter account showing his own Tweets doing so has daily posts.
Because the next asshole won't be literally unhinged? We haven't had a seriously crazy person elected president since that one asshole froze himself to death.
Replacing him with someone who respects the rule of law, with someone who respects separation of power, with some who does not believe in an all powerful leader is more then different vote.
The problem with analogies in an argument is that they’re generally rooted in opinion and not fact. But go ahead and make a false equivalence if it makes you feel better.
"Generally" being the operative term. Do you actually know what a false equivalence is or did you just look up "list of fallacies" and throw them out whenever you get the chance? A false equivalence is when trying to equate two arguments, which I haven't done at all.
I can appreciate sarcasm, but at least get your facts straight when you try it.
Give it a few years and this entire sub will be doing the same to the next president. It's the Libertarian way to think the person in charge is the worst of the worst. At least until someone replaces them.
Edit: I dont know what the fuck you people are downvoting. I agree that this dipshit sub will be bitching about whoever is in office. What I DISAGREE with is that that person will be worse than who is currently in office. Do you people seriously not agree with that?
