Well since you seem dead set on over analyzing my offhanded comment...
I simply stated that Trump's campaign was "reminiscent of Reagan in 1980"
reminiscent definition = adj. awaking memories of something similar
There is similarity. Eccentric Republican candidate polls closely until a strong final debate then pulls away.
Then you come in from out of nowhere like a wannabe hardass...."Not at all" ![Roll Eyes ::)](http://www.getbig.com/boards/Smileys/classic/rolleyes.gif)
I realize gamers are notorious for ingesting massive amounts of adrenaline fatiguing liquids such as Mountain Dew during marathon sessions which can make you a little cantankerous at times but seriously bro, you need to calm down. ![Cheesy :D](http://www.getbig.com/boards/Smileys/classic/cheesy.gif)
First, let me say that I'm sorry for the inference that I was trying to be a hard ass... I was not.
So for that, if you took it negatively, I sincerely apologize, it was not my intent.
I was just showing where the polling numbers did not equate to the similarity in my mind. According to the poll averages on the days in question, if they are accurate, show where Reagan had a huge bump after his convention and Carter "didn't recover".
I do not feel that I am overly (or even a little) excited about this election.
As I've said before, I was so young in 1980 that I certainly do not know anything about the tone of the election at the time, nor do I claim to have a grasp of it.
I am just using the data I see.
If the data has been manipulated, then that's sad.
My candidate will surely not win, but if we can make some strides into breaking the two party system, I will, at that point, be overjoyed.
