 do. You’re all going to go out there. She just blurted it out.

And the next thing you know, there’s this great rush to the door. They’re all heading to the back entrance to this auditorium. Well, as you open the door, you’re looking up three or four steps to this stage where the tables were, and then there’s this flat floor with seats, and then a balcony with seats. I remember running ahead and thinking, This is a delicious opportunity to embarrass George Bush. So I got a kid to start handing me and another fellow folding chairs to get them up on the stage for all these candidates, so that once they were sitting down, you couldn’t get rid of them.

The genesis of this debate was that the National Telegraph was for George Bush. They reasoned—and so many people have underestimated Ronald Reagan over the years, it would be enough to have an army to invade Iraq—they reasoned that Bush would make mincemeat of Reagan in a one-on-one debate. So they were going to sponsor this debate. About two weeks before the debate was scheduled, the lawyer for the company that owned the newspaper suddenly realized that this was a gift of corporate assets. It was a corporate donation to two campaigns, and it’s illegal.

So they called Jerry Carmen, who was our chairman in New Hampshire, and said, We’ve got to call off the debate because of this legal problem. Jerry said, The heck with it, we’ll pay for it. You can run it, just as you’re planning. You moderate it and all of that, and we’ll pay for it. He didn’t call Washington, didn’t ask Sears; he just did it. That was very much like him.

Anyway, Bush is sitting there, and these guys are clearly in Bush’s camp, this editor. Reagan goes in, the four other candidates waltz up on the stage with him, and they’re standing there in a row, I have a picture, I saw a picture just the other day of this, the four of them standing there. Reagan is at a microphone, and the moderator is there. Reagan’s tapping the microphone. He wants it turned on. That’s when the moderator says, You’re out of order. And Reagan says, Mr. Green, I paid for this microphone. Mr. Green’s name
do. You ’re all going to go out there. She barely blurt out it out. 

 And the next thing you acknowledge, there ’s this capital rush to the door. They ’re all steer to the back entrance to this auditorium. Well, as you open the door, you ’re look up three or four steps to this stage where the mesa were, and then there ’s this flat floor with seats, and then a balcony with buttocks. I remember running ahead and thinking, This is a delicious opportunity to embarrass George Bush. So I get a kid to start handing me and another mate folding chairs to get them up on the stage for all these campaigner, so that once they were sitting down, you could n’t get rid of them.

Reagan rifle in, the four other candidates waltz up on the stage with him, and they ’re standing there in a course, I have a picture, I watch a picture just the other sidereal day of this, the four of them standing there.
