I believe Donald will be even better than Reagan. Reagan screwed the pooch when he allowed that massive amnesty. That was a real kick in the teeth to the working men and women of America. While I have no love of Unions I don’t begrudge private ones like I do government Unions. Reagan jumped the gun by allowing non Union people to permanently take the Air Traffic Controller jobs and whatever other jobs at the time. The entire point of Unions is to negotiate in good faith without losing their jobs.

My hope is Donald learned from those mistakes since he was around at the time and has respect for the working folks.

Immigration, both legal and illegal, is the biggest threat facing America today IMHO. I just don’t understand why everyone can’t see that.

Booting out the air traffic controllers was no mistake at all. Not on policy and not electorally. It was even said to have made foreign governments more inclined to negotiate with Reagan as they saw how tough he could be.

Every republican that tries to negotiate with leftists in good faith makes a mistake. Amnesty was a disaster for Reagan, firing the faithless air traffic controllers was not.

Trump should know about bad faith, having spent a career on business.

Trump has put up a website www.greatagain.gov. People can leave their suggestions to make America great again.

Maybe you can suggest that President Trump deports me. You can even suggest that he deports Melania.

You are fighting he wrong fight. What a waste.
