And I would prefer he not speak to cameras, either.
I miss the real statesmen who used to run for President; Reagan. Kennedy. Hell, even Carter was better than anyone who's gained the nomination from either party in a LONG time.
I wish I'd been given a chance to vote for someone I WANTED to vote for.... instead of having to hold my nose in the booth.

there is hardly a day that goes by when Trump says something Trumpy and I don't immediately think "what would Ronald W. Reagan have done in this situation that 9 times out of 10 both furthered conservative ideals and reminded everyone why he was the only Republican the majority of Democrats trusted (being that he carried every single Democrat state but one even though they denied his party control of the Congress). Every Democrat state but one... I think his version of tax "reform" would have looked very different today. Ditto for immigration reform, his response to these mass shootings and certainly all this praise for a dictator/gangster running the second largest nuclear arsenal.
When Regan's head hit that pillow every night you knew he believed what he was saying. And he had no need to convince everyone that he was the smartest guy in the room or felt it necessary to put people down with petty personal insults. Humility and rational thought.
