I didn’t realize the Trumpster was trying to portray himself as another Ronald Reagan. But truth and rationality aren’t Trump’s strong suit anyway. Incoherent rabble-rousing is, and Ronald Reagan, by contrast, was an excellent, reasoned and even witty speaker.

The only time I've heard Trump compare himself to Reagan is when he's asked about his past liberal positions. He says "That was a long time ago and I changed, by the way Ronald Reagan was a loyal Democrat and pretty liberal guy for years when he was young but he changed and became pretty conservative". He doesn't say he has Reagan's positions or that he's the next Reagan, at least I haven't heard him do so.

He never has wrapped himself in Reagan’s mantra. In the Hollywood article, he has a bronze bust of “The Gipper,” which was given to him by Ronald Reagan. He only commented that Reagan used to be a liberal too - and he was. Why is Michale the younger getting his panties in a wad over that? Guess he supports someone else. But, this lashing was uncalled for.

Hmmm...sounds a lot like Ted Cruz...

Nice how you accuse a huge chunk of conservatives as falling in love with "incoherent rabble-rousing." I take it you're an Amnesty pimp?
