No love?
Republican presidential candidates are united:
The greatest president alive today is Ronald Reagan.
"Obviously the greatest president of my lifetime is Ronald Reagan," said Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.
"I'll leave that to the people to decide," said Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, which is his guaranteed go-to line for questions he doesn't want to answer. "Certainly the greatest president of recent generations was Ronald Reagan."
"I was a big fan, a very big fan of Ronald Reagan," real estate mogul Donald Trump said.
Ronald Reagan, as you might recall, has been dead for 11 years.
Which has done wonders for his image, by the way. But the question being asked was which of the currently
living presidents each candidate finds most impressive, which is very obviously CNN correspondent Chris Moody just trying to torment the poor fellows. None of them will be giving a Democratic president the nod, so either you have to say George W. Bush is the greatest living president, and not even the dumbest of Republican candidates is willing to hitch their wagon to
that mule, or you say George Bush the Elder is the greatest living president, and c'mon. Seriously, c'mon.
Bad CNN. Shame on you, teasing the candidates so. Next you'll be asking them if we should have invaded Iraq, knowing what we now know, or asking them what they would do to stop America from invading Texas.
