I'm sadly old enough to remember when Ronald Reagan was going to start WWIII and everybody alive at the time was going to die, so that means some of you would have never been born.   When in reality, Ronnie may have turned out to be the most non interventionist president since WWII (Oh yeah, a nod to Whackadoodle who will chime in with some factoids that everyone knows about Central America, a place where more then one U.S. president has meddled).   

What about the Caribbean island he invaded that is roughly the same size as Lincoln, Nebraska? How many presidents have done that?

Well, give or take you can probably start with McKinley, that is if you're talking just the Caribbean.

Let's see invaded a small island in the Caribbean, Central America insurgency via the CIA, a bombing attack on Libya, a dumb arms for hostages deal, sending Marines to Lebanon on a peace keeping mission that was a disaster continued Carter's policy of arming mujaheddin.   

Harry Truman sided with pro Hitler thugs and put them in power in Greece, Korea (50,000 Americans dead).    Eisenhower Iran and several other brush fires, started down the path in Vietnam, a couple of CIA coups (not going to look them up now.   Kennedy Bay of Pigs, Vietnam.   Johnson Vietnam Escalation (50,000 American's dead),  Nixon bombing of Cambodia, started Vietnam draw down.   Ford, can't remember anything.   Carter let Iran fall then had a failed hostage rescue, and with Zbig started arming the mujaheddin in Afghanistan.   Bush I Panama, first gulf war.   Clinton cruise missile attacks in Iraq, illegal war in the Balkans.    Bush II Afghanistan and Iraq War II huge loss of life, endless war and started drone strike program.   Obama Afghan surge, expanded drone strikes in multiple countries, overthrow of Libyan government, extreme intervention in Syria creating a humanitarian disaster, idiotic support of Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, massive weapons sales to ME theocracies, confrontation with Russia, drew down Iraq forces, now sending forces back to Iraq. 

I'm sure I missed a few along the way, but those are the highlights.   Reagan looks pretty freaking tame in comparison.

Quote
One of the first jarring moments came in December when Trump, a Christian, addressed the Republican Jewish Coalition and likened himself to the Jewish businessmen in the room, saying, "I'm a negotiator, like you folks."

While he did receive applause when he said the room was filled with more people who had renegotiated deals than any other group he had addressed, the response was less positive when he went on to predict why he wouldn't receive the group's support.

"You’re not going to support me because I don’t want your money," Trump said.

"You don’t want to give me money and that’s OK. You want to control your own politician, that’s fine. ... I understand: five months ago, I was with you. Who is better than me?"

Trump said if he were in talks with Israel and Palestine he wouldn't bitch slap the Palestinian until they agreed to GTFO. And this is a guy who is basically racist against the entire Middle East. He HATES Israel.

He was asking me a theoretical, or just a question in theory, and I talked about it only from that standpoint. Of course not. And that was done, he said, you know, I guess it was theoretically, but he was asking me a rhetorical question, and I gave an answer. And by the way, people thought from an academic standpoint, and asked rhetorically, people said that answer was an unbelievable academic answer. But of course not, and I said that afterwards. Everybody understands that.

Paul Ryan should have come out and said he'd accept the nomination from the convention floor, then. He could have given Cruz/Kasich a boost.

ryan and reibus or whatever the eff his name was effectively killed both cruz and kasich.  once voters learned that a vote for cruz or kasich was a vote for cruz or kasich, neither had a chance.
