Oh right, stem cell research, mainly because of the use of embryos and all that. I misinterpreted what maniac said.
"I misspoke about their records
The thing she misspoke about was which disease Nancy Reagan cared about thirty years ago. You seem to be construing this as she thought the question was about Alzheimers or she thought AIDs and Alzheimers are the same disease.
The (possible, if not likely) conflation of AIDS and Alzheimers is not the important part though; the above bolded bit is. Whether or not it was a mistake or an unrelated bit tacked on to the first half of her tweet, the fact remains that it should be really hard to connect the Reagans to AIDS in a positive manner. I wonder if she has a fact-checker to fire?
Her brain maybe? (lol) Might be an example of trying too hard on something....
Honestly, considering the focus on Trump re: fascism, the likely ineffectualism of him as president, and the precedent regarding puppetry from perceived second-rate positions (from Dick Cheney to Stalin)...
If Trump gets the nom, keep an eye on who he picks as running mate. If Trump gets elected, keep an even closer eye on whoever is his vice president. Between Trump and Trumps VP, the more likely person to manage a fascist takeover and succeed without being suspected would be the VP.
Possible other mechanics would be a Sec. of State.
You Canadians are funny!
On a serious note, while Trump doesn't seem like the type who could be easily manipulated, unlike George W. Bush, he might get misled because he doesn't know the inner workings of government. Then again, there are other people who were in second rate positions overshadowed by the main guy such as LBJ who didn't go all fascist.
Also, Cheney actually had a good deal of power as VP.
edit: I don't see a Seceretary of State being a possible mechanic since they don't typically work the legislative stuff. Could be a possible stepping stone to the presidency, there have been plenty of presidents who were seceretary of state at some point.
