(3,977 posts)1. Here is the best strategy on media that day
1. Have you TV on but tuned to a non-news channel ( reducing orange-cheeto ratings)
2. Watch either of the 2 big live online shows against his presidency

Couldn't stand the sound of St. Ronnie's voice. Couldn't stand that he was our president. Cried the night he was elected. Then the time of W and now this.

I still think of him as the worst President ever, well until now that is.

Couldn't bring myself to watch Reagan. And he was always showing up on TV. Even when that little girl got stuck in the well. Never had anything relevant to say.
I watched Bush after 911, cuz our world was going to pot.
