What Reagan never said, Part II

• "I never attacked him on his looks, and believe me, there's plenty of subject matter right there."

• "I'm on a lot of [magazine] covers. I think maybe more than almost any supermodel. I think more than any supermodel."

• "I am not surprised the dishonest, irrelevant and totally failing Club for Growth has resorted to attacking the definitive front-runner, especially after I refused to contribute to their pathetic group."

• "I'm looking at guys like Marco Rubio, who has the worst voting record in the United States Senate. And [he's a] young guy--although he sweats more than any young person I've ever seen in my life. I've never seen a guy down water like he downs water. They bring it in in buckets for this guy."

• "I don't think [people born in the United States, who have immigrant parents] have American citizenship. And if you speak to some very, very good lawyers--some of them would disagree, but many of them agree with me--you're going to find they do not have American citizenship. We have to start a process where we take back our country. Our country is going to hell."

• "I've gotten along with politicians my whole life. I've made a fortune on politicians. Nobody knows politicians better than I do. I get along with politicians."

• And when asked what he thought about God, Ronald Reagan never once told the Christian Broadcast Network this, while looking over an oceanfront golf course he had acquired on the West Coast:

"Well, I say God is the ultimate. You know, you look at this. Here we are on the Pacific Ocean. How did I ever own this? I bought it 15 years ago. I made one of the great deals they say, ever. I have no more mortgage on it as I will certify and represent to you. And I was able to buy this and make a great deal. That's what I want to do for this country. Make great deals. We have to, we have to bring it back, but God is the ultimate. I mean, God created this, and here's the Pacific Ocean right behind us. So nobody, no thing, no--there's nothing like God."
