  1. i don't care if Mitt Romney is a supporter of Reagan. What I want for him is to win- and we will all find out that he is better than Reagan- he's got values being a true Latter day Saint, a good family man and has never been involved in any corrupt practices nor will he ever be. Good luck to the rest of the contenders. Or better yet- come on let this guy win we all know he's going to make America great again- and it's for all of our benefits. If a man is not corrupted- heavens will open it's windows to make this chosen leader lead wisely.
