Can you imagine Ronald Reagan whipping out incredibly stupid and weird nicknames like that? The man was a terrible president and did real harm to the country, but at least he was able to talk like an actual grown-up.

Seriously, can you imagine him suddenly dropping moronic nicknames for Carter or Mondale? The Republican party circa 1979 would have dumped him immediately and consigned him to the dustbin of history.

And they would have called his antics “weird.”
