Nancy Reagan Endorses Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton’s campaign doesn’t kickoff until Sunday but already she has received a big endorsement and it isn’t from a Democrat. Former First Lady Nancy Reagan is joining the “Ready for Hillary” club that will no doubt anger conservatives who idolize her deceased husband. Appearing on the History Channel’s fall series, First Ladies in Their Own Words, the actress-turned-first lady wrote off the 2016 GOP candidates and made a surprising announcement.

“The time for a woman to serve as our President has come – really, now is the time – and I think the idea of having a former First Lady as the leader of the free world is really quite a marvelous notion,” stated Nancy. “I want Hillary to win. Even though I admire two of the current potential Republican nominees, I have no interest in seeing either of them lead this country.”

This isn’t the first time that Nancy Reagan has split with the Republican Party, she has been a vocal supporter of stem cell research and supports gay marriage. Nancy did publicly come out in support of Mitt Romney during the 2012 presidential campaign.

Bloomberg falls for fake Nancy Reagan report

By HADAS GOLD | 4/10/15 5:55 PM EDT
Bloomberg Politics published a report about Nancy Reagan based off of fake news site NationalReport.net

The piece, headlined "Nancy Reagan gives her endorsement to... Hillary Clinton," quoted a supposed "Drudge Report" saying that the former first lady told the History Channel series "First Ladies In Their Own Words" that it's time for a female president.

"For the GOP, this is slightly awkward. Since Ronald Reagan's presidency, and especially since his death, the Gipper's legacy has been worshipfully celebrated, often claimed, by Republican candidates," the article stated.

The problem is: Reagan never said such a thing and the series was actually on C-SPAN, not The History Channel. The report seems to have come from NationalReport.net, a spoof news site that has tricked many a politician and news organization in the past. The piece was then posted to a website called DrudgeReport.com.co, which doesn't seem to be connected to the actual Drudge Report.

I've been saying that for years. As if stem cell research would even be on her radar if her beloved Ronnie weren't afflicted by Alzheimer's. And I'm SURE Dick Cheney would come out for gay marriage if his daughter weren't in a gay relationship.

There isn't that much difference between this and the pro-life conservative who arranges for his girlfriend's abortion. If it affects them, or it's expedient for them, suddenly all the rules change.

according to what I have read. She is quite old and in and out of it so I doubt if she is astutely perusing the political landscape and making judgments about possible candidates to support.

Right now, I have to feel compassion for Nancy Reagan, as I would for my own mother. When you get that old, you must rely on good people around you for care. I can't feel animosity for an old woman, incapacitated by age and needing assistance in her daily life. My mom was there. I know what it is like.

Kennebunkport, Maine, July 30, 1983.



Wallace and his third wife, the former Lisa Taylor, meet with Vice President George Bush and Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton at a lobster bake at Bush's residence at Kennebunkport, Maine, July 30, 1983. The third Mrs. Wallace, whom the governor married in 1981, was 30 years his junior and half of a country-western singing duo, Mona and Lisa, who had performed during his campaign in 1968.

CREDIT: AP/Birmingham Post

SOURCE: http://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/george-wallace/13/

George Wallace did all he could to oppose President Kennedy and his administration's policy to integrate public schools, including the University of Alabama.

Something else important to know: Wallace’s running mate in 1968 was Gen. Curtis LeMay, who exhibited insubordination to President Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Tue May 26, 2015, 12:18 PM
May 2015

It comes from the verb 'to foist' meaning:
a : to introduce or insert surreptitiously or without warrant
b : to force another to accept especially by stealth or deceit
2
: to pass off as genuine or worthy


It is possible that is the author's real name, but it is satire that is basically given the byline 'Faker'.

On a slightly more serious note.... we are moving full-tilt toward a one party state ( "The Money Party" - G. Vidal) and if this latest development doesn't help awaken one to that reality than it seems to me that one can't be awakened.

On Tue May 26, 2015, 11:51 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

Nancy Reagan Endorses Hillary Clinton
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026729006

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Fake story posted here to "burr (sic) a bunch of asses". If folks weren't r buying into and perpetuating a false story, this wouldn't get alerted. But even after being made aware, poster has not edited or updated the OP. BS made up flamebait.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue May 26, 2015, 12:01 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: It should be deleted because it's a fake story
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Okay, I see possible humor, but BS stories should be labeled as such and not treated like real stories.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Many posters indicate that it is a fake story, so it is sufficiently labeled. In any case, Nancy has annointed Rubio as successor to her hubby.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Fake story.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I am not going to vote to hide satire. The story was refuted in the comments and that is good enough for me.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Some people really do need to lighten up.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's fake, but the poster acknowledges that later in the thread. I think hitting him with a hide would be a bit harsh. There's no real harm here.

Bloomberg Politics published a report about Nancy Reagan based off of fake news site NationalReport.net

The piece, headlined "Nancy Reagan gives her endorsement to... Hillary Clinton," quoted a supposed "Drudge Report" saying that the former first lady told the History Channel series "First Ladies In Their Own Words" that it's time for a female president.

"For the GOP, this is slightly awkward. Since Ronald Reagan's presidency, and especially since his death, the Gipper's legacy has been worshipfully celebrated, often claimed, by Republican candidates," the article stated.

The problem is: Reagan never said such a thing and the series was actually on C-SPAN, not The History Channel.

…into the Republican monster from whom we've never recovered, endorses Hill? Good God.

Is this a true story? If true, it's terrifying. What is there to rejoice about? It seems that Nance recognizes a kindred spirit.

…of DU but I can sometimes be.

Fact is, didn't seem all that far fetched and there's a sad political reason for that.

The report seems to have come from NationalReport.net, a spoof news site that has tricked many a politician and news organization in the past. The piece was then posted to a website called DrudgeReport.com.co, which doesn't seem to be connected to the actual Drudge Report.

But I do know Bernie supporters have run with it. I am starting to believe they will believe anything.

And by the way, the person starting this thread of complete BS is using a Bernie avatar, which would be odd for an HRC supporter.

No, we don't believe just anything, which is why we do not pay attention to some politicians' campaign blather.

statement that they know is flat-out bullshit to remain standing, even after admitting knowledge of the falseness of their post. As for the jury system … HAH … it's a popularity contest/crapshoot, and the TOS has fuck-all to do with any resulting adjudications.

There really isn't.

And it also says their favorite group is the "Populist" group here which as we all know, does nothing but slam Hillary all day every day. I don't know why it's important to pretend that the person who posted this false OP supports Hillary but your "proof" is a bit lacking.

1. Story is fake (didn't know this til later down thread)

2. First reaction EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, get that Republican endorsement off our Democrat even if we don't like her very much she doesn't deserve that.

3. Whew it's a fake story.

4. Before seeing it was a fake Oh I can taunt conservatives with this story

5. Oh darn it's fake I can't taunt conservatives with it and chap their arses.

6. Another before the fakery was noted, who cares what that vile woman has to say. People should just leave her be to eat her gruel and watch the Fox news.

7. After seeing it's fake and Bloomberg picked it up as real news, ah ha ha ha ha ha.

She and and her hubby sent us down this ugly path, so I can't completely forgive her. This at least helps.

...she will issue a statement supporting the Republican nominee and do a photo op, if they want one and she's well enough. I'm sure Ron and Patti will vote for the Democrat and urge mom to do so, too!

Nancy Reagan "I believe that people would be alive today if there were a death penalty.&quot a belief in killing black people will save lives of white people)

Remember the clothes and the china.....not a good person!

The Reagan's caused many deaths (believing that gays should die from aids because it was g-ds will). May G-d have mercy on their souls.
