I remember when Reagan had no chance of election because of his crazy ideas.
I remember when Reagan had to be kept out of the White House because he would start nuclear war as soon as he got in.
I remember when our enemies would attack us first if we made the mistake of electing a dangerous man like Reagan.
I remember how our fragile economy would suffer if we allowed a fool like Reagan to start changing things.
I don’t say that Trump is Reagan. I recognize that Trump is not a strict ideological Conservative. But the Establishment sees Trump exactly the way they saw Reagan.
The Establishment is the problem. Always has been.
Trump is against the Establishment.
Vote Trump.
Don’t vote Goldman Sachs.
To all. I found this post to be most helpful in explaining who Trump really is. It’s a bit lengthy and an excellent read.

If you don’t like Trump, this is the perfect reading for you. if your are Dem or Rep. it does not make any difference.
Trump Is Not Conservative. He is not a liberal. He’s A Pragmatist
He sees a problem and understands it must be fixed. He doesn’t see the problem as liberal or conservative, he sees it only as a problem. That is a quality that should be admired and applauded, not condemned.
Viewing problems from a liberal perspective has rrresulted in the creation of more problems, more entitlement programs, more victims, more government, more political correctness, and more attacks on the working class in all economic strata.
Viewing things according to the so-called Republican conservative perspective has brought continued spending, globalism to the detriment of American interests and well being, denial of what the real problems are, weak, ineffective, milquetoast, leadership that amounts to Barney Fife Deputy Sheriff – appeasement oriented and afraid of its own shadow. In brief, it has brought liberal ideology with a pachyderm as a mascot juxtaposed to the ass of the Democrat Party.
Immigration isn’t a Republican problem – it isn’t a liberal problem – it is a problem that threatens the very fabric and infrastructure of America. It demands a pragmatic approach not an approach that is intended to appease one group or another.
The impending collapse of the economy isn’t a liberal or conservative problem it is an American problem. That said, until it is viewed as a problem that demands a common sense approach to resolution, it will never be fixed because the Democrats and Republicans know only one way to fix things and the longevity of their impracticality has proven to have no lasting effect.
Successful businessmen like Donald Trump find ways to make things work, they do not promise to accommodate.
Trump uniquely understands that China’s manipulation of currency is not a Republican problem or a Democrat problem. It is a problem that threatens our financial stability and he understands the proper balance needed to fix it. Here again successful businessmen like Trump who have weathered the changing tides of economic reality understand what is necessary to make business work and they, unlike both sides of the political aisle, know that if something doesn’t work you don’t continue trying to make it work hoping that at some point it will.
As a pragmatist Donald Trump hasn’t made wild pie-in-the-sky promises of a cell phone in every pocket, free college tuition, and a $15 hour minimum wage for working the drive-through a Carl’s Hamburgers.
I argue that America needs pragmatists because pragmatists see a problem and find ways to fix them. They do not see a problem and compound it by creating more problems.
You may not like Donald Trump but I suspect that the reason people do not like him is because:
1) he is antithetical to the “good old boy” method of brokering backroom deals that fatten the coffers of politicians;
2) they are unaccustomed to hearing a candidate speak who is unencumbered by the financial shackles of those who own them vis-a`-vis donations;
3) he is someone who is free of idiomatic political ideology; and 4) he is someone who understands that it takes more than hollow promises and political correctness to make America great again.
Listening to Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders talk about fixing America is like listening to two lunatics trying to “out crazy” one another. Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio are owned lock, stock, and barrel by the bankers, corporations, and big dollar donors funding their campaigns. Bush can deny it but common sense tells anyone willing to face facts that people don’t give tens of millions without expecting something in return.
We have had Democrats and Republican ideologues and what has it brought us? Are we better off today or worst off? Has it happened overnight or has it been a steady decline brought on by both parties?
I submit that a pragmatist might be just what America needs right now. And as I said earlier, a pragmatist sees a problem and understands that the solution to fix same is not about a party, but a willingness and boldness to get it done.
People are quick to confuse and despise confidence as arrogance but that is common amongst those who have never accomplished anything in their lives and who have always played it safe not willing to risk failure
Pass it on . spread it to any page that has anything to do with the election on both sides . Make people think not just hear what the media is saying and add your words and thoughts to the bottom.
Go Trump Army ! Share this and vote Trump. Copy this and pass it on.
I agree with you that Trump’s “popularity” with the GOPe is about the same as Reagan’s was with the Bush and happy-to-be-in-the-minority country club Republicans of the late 70’s. But there’s a big difference in the character of the two men. Reagan had an aw shucks, folks demeanor about him that could put voters at ease. And he was a seasoned politician. Donald Trump doesn’t seem to possess an ounce of the kindness and gentlemanly quality that Reagan had. And try to compare Reagan’s ability to deliver a speech with Trump’s stream of consciousness rambling. If he is nominated there will be ankle deep blood on the convention floor in Cleveland and regrouping the party around him will be an order of magnitude harder than it was for Reagan.
If our ideas became fashionable and became the 'Establishment' - the same thuggy types would move to our side -- and they'd become problems all over again...
