Reagan’s famous election-eve speech
-
Next Tuesday is election day. Next Tuesday all of you will go to the polls; you'll stand there in the polling place and make a decision. I think when you make that decision, it might be well if you would ask yourself, are you better off than you were 4 years ago? Is it easier for you to go and buy things in the stores than it was 4 years ago? Is there more or less unemployment in the country than there was 4 years ago? Is America as respected throughout the world as it was? Do you feel that our security is as safe, that we're as strong as we were 4 years ago? And if you answer all of those questions yes, why then, I think your choice is very obvious as to who you'll vote for. If you don't agree, if you don't think that this course that we've been on for the last 4 years is what you would like to see us follow for the next 4, then I could suggest another choice that you have.

Maybe Uncle Joe has one good plagiarism left in him...

It’s quite remarkable that the quote works now verbatim.
Of course the issue of ‘going to the stores’ was inflation, not Covid, but still it works verbatim. Obviously things could change in 4 months.
Maybe there’s an ‘American Carnage’ equivalent.... “Look around - do you see more or less American Carnage than you did 4 years ago...”

"...think to yourself, are you better off now, except for the Chinese CCP infecting the world and ruining all we had accomplished in my first term? Because without the Wuhan Flu, we would be growing economically as never before, with unemployment for ALL Americans at the lowest levels possible, wages going up, the middle class making a historic comeback, all races getting along because upward growth and the American dream has returned for all, and. . . "
Hey, maybe I could be a speechwriter!
For Biden:
"I've been in Washington, I know how Washington works, I can reassemble what Trump has destroyed and from that point, free college, free iPhones, free stuff and junk. Hey man, it will be cool, no police, and I'll personally do more push-ups than anyone over seventy, and. . ."
