Another Myth, Reagan never said that.
If you haven’t noticed, people like decisive-sounding politicians who proclaim that they have simple answers to all the world’s complex problems. If they repeat that over and over, people start to believe that solving those problems really is simple.
Then they get elected, the problems aren’t so easy to solve after all, but the loudmouth is still in office,
Says the nutcase Cruz birther.
Reagan would not have allowed Republicans to pile on Trump as they did, and insult the base in the process. Trump was not proactive in the insults, he was reactive. He fights back, and actually Reagan would like that. I see huge parallels between Trump and Reagan, and I was there.

And he fights back to the point he quells the threat. Then he treats them well. Poke the bear, suffer the consequences.
Just a question of the lot of you, were any of you of voting age during the Reagan years? I was, and I tell you, in every meaningful way, the “amiable dunce” and the “clown” are uncannily alike; only their personalities are different.
I’m old enough to remember pontificating that ‘America doesn’t elect extremists’. I did vote for him though.
I am a Cruz supporter.
I don't fault Trump for standing up for himself. He's been attacked by the establishment candidates almost from the get go. Trump's toughness and never back down approach has been educational for the GOP and illustrates why the GOPe can't get anything done with majorities in the House & Senate. The GOPe plays nice. Trump plays to win.
My problem with Trump isn't his toughness, I wish more Pubs were, it's his overnight conversion to conservatism. I'm not confident he will be dependable if elected.
Cruz is the most reliable conservative running.
Trump is NOT like Reagan. He wishes he was but no way on this earth should he be compared to President Ronald Reagan.
Oh, I remember. Yes I do. The GOPe hated Reagan. I could barely keep throwing up when all those RINOs who hated Reagan showed up at his funeral. Trump and Reagan demonstrate a similar ability to communicate to the people. And both had the ability to make totalitarians (Both RAT and RINO) heads explode. And both had obvious contempt for the media though Reagan was more polite about it.
The article is a comparison of the reaction of the GOP and the MSM when Reagan was running, compared to how they are reacting today to Trump. Very similar, she provides quotes. She is NOT comparing the two men or their policies.
I remember.
I also remember the "surprised media" when he won 49 states.
One of the differences though was Reagan had been a conservative for a long time before he ran for POTUS. Trump is an overnight conversion and family members are still close to the Clintons, among other Rats.
Reagan was a rare POTUS. He brought us back from the carter "malaise" and destroyed the USSR ending the threat of global thermal nuclear war. Trump does have a lot of the same qualities, especially toughness and belief in himself.
Thank you!
Take a breath Nick. Oxygen is good for your brain. :-)
Not fair!
Trump is very very much like a young Reagan. We who knew him when he was governor and early campaigning for President. And the RINOs esp Bush went after him hard.
No. I like Trump. I haven’t been this excited about a guy since Reagan.
No. Reagan might’ve retorted, but not publicly and with a whole lot more class. I was around for Reagan as well, and I knew people who worked directly for him on the White House staff. Reagan was the epitome on geniality and class. Trump isn’t even close.
Hey, Nick, you’re the kinda guy people like when you leave the room. lol
