What do you mean stole? I don’t remember what it was, but I don’t think those things are copyrighted.

Reagan, 1980: “Let’s Make America Great Again.”
Trump, 2016: “Make America Great Again.”
Outright lift.

So? Good for him. I trust he, of all the current candidates, might actually accomplish this.

Well, it needs to be said as well as done. I wouldn’t call it a lift. How many democrat campaigns are about “change”?

Eh, these slogans are typically recycled quite often.
How many times do we hear “Let’s take our country back” from both sides?
I don’t really see this as Trump stealing a slogan. Probably 50 campaigns will use some version of that in 2016 if you count Congressional races. It’s a generic, positive sounding message that’s probably been used 1000 times.
To: TBP
He’s no dummy so maybe he did lift it.
It is a rather main line thing to say though. It could have been a natural occurrence.

I still have my Bob Dole big yellow circle sign that reads “15%”. I offer that to any candidate who would like to borrow it. Of course we are so far away from talking about tax cuts because of all the massive growth of government that has happened since then I’m sure no one wants it. Sad!

The Reagan one sounds like a request and the Trump one sounds like an order.

Well, it’s not like president Reagan is using it right now...

It doesn’t bother me although an attribution or hat-tip would be a class move.

Oh, I’m sorry,
I was watching a commercial for direct TV with Hannah and her horse.
Now, what was it that you were spouting off about?

I thought Reagan’s thing was “It’s Morning in America”.

Yes, I like Hannah and Her Horse.
Did you know she’d Derek Jeter’s girlfriend?
