I was looking forward to the Video episode of the Eighties, now I have no idea when its going to show up. They still haven't shown a few other topics for one reason or another. Trump, debates, planes,etc.
Yes, unfortunately. If there were differing opinions I wish they showed them. This episode made me uncomfortable in an all-around way. She should've moved. She seemed to more of a sensitive, gentle person and this neighborhood was changing. And I don't mean racially but it was going rougher. I lived in a neighborhood and it started to change when a bunch of rough characters moved in. And they were white for what it's worth.
The one episode that I'm sort of looking forward to is music and MTV. And I know that if and when they do the 90's that Bill Clinton will be covered as some sort of combo of Nero and Caligula with plenty of talking heads from Newt Gingrich. Clinton was almost as popular as Reagan when he left office.
I was afraid of the Reagan episode and it seems like my fear was justified. They can be critical of every president since JFK but when it comes to Reagan its hands off. I was a teenager during the 80's. We weren't all Alex Keatons. His poll numbers did go down into the thirties a couple of times and after the missile treaties some conservatives referred to him as a useful idiot. I guess that wasn't covered.
I agree with a lot of what you say but I don't think that the concert in the summer of 1985 was for AIDS. Live Aid was for hunger and famine in Ethiopia. We Are the World and stuff like that. I also voted for Bush in '88 but my excuse is that I was 18 and my brain wasn't fully formed yet.
Yeah, at this point Obama is not going to nominate a Republican unless they were they were the reincarnation of Earl Warren. Sometimes, way too much pearl-clutching and rending of garments here.
I had to change the channel during another version of her continuing amazement over Bernie's large crowds. She just got finished with a story about larger Republican turnout over the Democrats being a worrying issue and then that. It seems to me that the two kind of contradict. I voted for Hillary this time and supported Obama in 2008. He got the crowds in 2008 and now it's Bernie with the big rallies. Hillary got a lot of votes both times. Her voters should get some kind of acknowledgement. A little annoying is all I'm saying.
I think its the whole rooting for the underdog thing and the desire for a horse-race on both sides. They all seem to have fond memories of 2008. I don't; even though my "side" won.
The more I think about this Trump "town hall" thing the more I get annoyed. This has to be one of the more unethical jounalistic events that I can remember. They're his friggin' press agents at this point
