You do not get to ask numerous questions. Just one question, you should know that.

Are you going to answer the question, or just complain about it?

I am not complaining. You just do not want to hear and accept what I am saying.

LOL.  This coming from you makes it all the funnier.

Just a statement on the Reagan question. Many of you are close to the right answer, some are not.

The true information is...

The last democrat that Reagan supported nationally was Harry Truman in the 1948 election. He supported Eisenhower in 1952 and again in 1956. He endorsed and worked for Richard Nixon in 1960, not Kennedy, as Warner for Senate "knew" that he supported Kennedy in 1960. This was not true.

Reagan officially switched parties in 1962.

I never said I knew the answer.  I guessed, like I do on most of these.

Well the point is that you were wrong.

Anyone who knows a good amount of information on Presidential politics and history would know that Reagan supported Nixon in 1960, and not Kennedy. What does that say about your knowledge of Presidential politics and history.

And, why would Reagan support Kennedy after he supported Eisenhower in the past two elections up to that point. It is more logical that he would support Nixon. Use your brain.

I apologize for not knowing every candidate that that senile old grandfather supported in every Presidential election.  I was unaware that he supported Eisenhower, so i figured he would support Kennedy.

Do you even read the posts. I said that he supported Eisenhower.

You said that after I answered.  Shouldn't you be in school right now?

Oh, do not talk to me like you are my father and I am your son.

You should be in school right now. Mine is out for sickness.

I am in school (I'm failing the class, wonder why?)

Just because you are failing the class does not mean that you should be doing political commentary during school. Does your teacher know that you are doing this right now or are you deliberately disobeying your teacher by doing what you are doing on the computer right now?

The latter.

You should not be doing that. No wonder you are failing the class. By the way, what school in Virgina do you attend?

Williamsburg Middle School, home of the Wolves!  Benjamin A. Constine, President.

On election night 1968, what state officially put Richard Nixon over the top and made him the 37th President of the United States of America?

I'll guess either Illinois or California, depending on how fast the results came in

There's no need to sound so condescending.

Who was the last President to serve in the military and see actual combat?

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Who was the last President to serve in the military and see actual combat?

Eisenhower.

Wrong on at least three counts.

-Eisenhower never was engaged in actual combat - by the time a war came around, he was already one of the US' highest ranking generals.
-At least two of his successors did see combat in WWII.

Carter?

Wrong, the correct answer, given by Lewis, is George HW Bush.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Just to clear things up: the last President to see military combat was George HW Bush.
