vastly different from Reagan's

His vision to make a great economy is largely from Reagan, growth is the key, along with the taking away of government restriction.

He's pro-life, with a conversion, very similar.

He's getting blue collar democrats to vote for him, very similar.

He wants a strong military, very similar. He wants to use that military only to crush an opponent (such as ISIS) if necessary to make the US safe.

Likewise he wants to cut spending in all things but the military.

He wants to gut bamstercare.

He wants people to enjoy being in the US and be proud of their country again, very similar.

Unlike Reagan, he has the will to stop amnesty. So there is that.......

I'd say, this is an entirely wrong premise, and that Trump is on the same wavelength, more than any other candidate. Reagan was great, given the chance Trump may be act II.

But he favors preservation of Social Security and Medicare and extending benefits to blue collar Americans.

If I’m not mistaken the populist Tea Party pushed in much the same direction.

Trump is adamantly against corporate welfare and crony capitalism embraced by the GOP leadership and its rentier donor class.

His views clash starkly with the elitism dominant in upper reaches of the Republican party, which its base strongly rejects.

He seems like the right man at the right time and like an opportunity that might not come along again in our lifetimes if ever.

I would bet Reagan would be against amnesty now after his first mistake.

What is so ironic is that by losing in a landslide to Hillary in November, Trump is going to ensure the opposite of every proposal he endorses.

Most notably, amnesty and citizenship will be made permanent, and the border wall will never be built.
