    Ronald Reagan famously said that the “eleventh commandment” was: “Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican.”

    The phrase was coined in the 1960s by Gaylord Parkinson, who was the state chairman of California Republicans at the time: “Henceforth, if any Republican has a grievance against another, that grievance is not to be bared publicly.”

        Semi spoiler but haven’t watched Meet the Parents? That’s actually the first time I found out it was an actual name but it’s older now I know. Sorry if that spoiled it for anyone but it’s literally the last joke of the movie. If you haven’t seen it, I recommend it, not outstanding but solid comedy, plus has the best nipple joke.

      Not that it ever did Trump’s ratings any harm, calling them traitors, losers and everything in between.
