This presaged the reason that President Reagan won the election: Because instead of promoting "realism" he promoted hope.

Trumpieboy brought up the topic at his recent rally in Las Vegas, and met some of those who played in the game,

note all the bitter comments from trolls under the video.

WTF? Don't they bother to read the sports page?

No wonder that the Democrats are coming across as out of touch with ordinary people.

Even Bernie didn't bring up the subject, and he should know better, because Hockey is huge in Vermont, so it's not like he isn't familiar with this game.

sigh.
