    Pres. Ronald Reagan Remarks at a Republican Party Rally in Cape Girardeau, Missouri
    September 14, 1988
    Now, with this great reception that you've given me, I have to say that there was once upon a time that to be a Republican in this area of the country felt a little bit like being Gary Cooper in "High Noon'" - outnumbered in a big way. But I remember the story of a fellow who was running for office as a Republican. And he was in a rural area, and it wasn't known to be Republican. And he stopped by a farm to do some campaigning. And when the farmer heard he was a Republican, his jaw dropped, and he said, "Wait right here till I go get Ma. She's never seen a Republican before.'' So, he got her. And the candidate looked around for a podium from which to give his speech, and the only thing he could find was a pile of that stuff that Bess Truman took 35 years trying to get Harry to call fertilizer. So, he got up on the mound, and when they came back he gave his speech. And at the end of it, the farmer said, "That's the first time I ever heard a Republican speech.'' And the candidate said, "That's the first time I've ever given a Republican speech from a Democratic platform.''

    Reagan was Pure Gold! My favorite is when Mondale and Reagan were in the debate and the moderator asked about age being an issue, to which Reagan responded with, " I am not going to make age an issue in this campaign and point out the youth and inexperience of my opponent to perform the job" (paraphrased) Even Mondale broke out laughing and afterwards knew he was never going to win!

Furthermore, Trump made the maximum legal donation to Carter...not Reagan. Trump is the pile upon which Republicans speak from now...and it's far stinkier than the pile in this joke.
