Say what you want but I already know there are Trump-Democrats!
I happen to be writing that right now. Reagan was not ever a businessman. End of comparison right there. Businesspeople have to constantly do things against their nature or proclivities to survive.
I know a VERY conservative company owner in TX who took city tax bennies. When the city fathers complained to him about it, he said, "I'm not going to disadvantage my company just because I disagree with a law. I favor removing the bennies for ALL companies."
Reagan was a more complex person than anyone gave him credit for being, especially Brands. His "encounters with the left" took a good 20 years, and unlike Trump, who had to buy influence for his companies from soft socialists, Reagan was faced in SAG with outright Stalinists and violent thugs. So the lessons would be much different.
And Trump talks constantly about America and how America will be great again. Reagan used the vehicle of telling stories (many of which couldn't be confirmed, or didn't happen as he said, but it was for a purpose). Trump uses himself as the means to get to the issues. I don't see a problem.
Trump Can Win Media, GOP Establishment made same attacks on Reagan.
No one is better at negotiating . Trump is the number one real estate developer in the world.
Trump wouldn't let the democrats trick him into signing an Amnesty as Reagan got tricked, nor will Trump allow the Iranian Ayatollahs into giving them nukes(Well I know Obama wants to give Iran nukes)
My wish is to see Trump slap down first Hillary in the debate then the Iranian ayatollahs and the media as president (who wouldn't pay good money just to see that?)
Hey, comparing Trump to Reagan is not nearly as distasteful as Obama’s comparing himself to Reagan.... and Lincoln.
Well they, the MSM compared 0bama to Reagan.
They are two very different men. They do have some commonalities.
Service attributed that talent to Reagan's dealings with Hollywood studio heads when he was President of the Screen Actor's Guild. Notably, if there is one skill that Trump has in abundance, it is as a negotiator. We may reasonably expect that Trump, like Reagan, would be an effective negotiator as President based on prior experience outside of government.
The comparison is legit in that Trump goes around both the media and the GOP speaking directly to voters despite attempts by both to filter him as well as destroy him.
Trump is far closer to JFK than Reagan.
Well, Dorkbama the Muslim has been compared to a sentient human.
How many degrees of magnitude worse must that be?
We knew Ronald Reagan. He was a friend of ours.
Donald Trump is no Ronald Reagan. And the sooner Freepers realize it, the sooner his cult of personality will come crashing down.
“Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all problems men face,if we’d only look there.” - RONALD REAGAN
“We have the duty to protect the life of the unborn child.” - RONALD REAGAN
Pray that DONALD TRUMP will look to ALMIGHTY GOD for direction and wisdom... Pray that he will have a personal relationship with JESUS CHRIST.
These quotes sound like DONALD TRUMP "Every promise, every opportunity, is still golden in this land. And through that golden door our children can walk into tomorrow with the knowledge that no one can be denied the promise that is America." - RONALD REAGAN
"Can we solve the problems confronting us? Well, the answer is an unequivocal and emphatic 'yes.' - RONALD REAGAN
"We don't celebrate dependence day on the Fourth of July. We celebrate Independence Day." RONALD REAGAN
"As for the enemies of freedom, those who are potential adversaries, they will be reminded that peace is the highest aspiration of the American people. We will negotiate for it, sacrifice for it; we will not surrender for it, now or ever." - RONALD REAGAN “Government isn’t the solution to the problem;Government is the problem.” - RONALD REAGAN "Are you better off than you were four years ago? Is it easier for you to go and buy things from the store than it was four years ago? Is there more or less unemployment in the country than there was four years ago? Is America as respected throughout the world as it was?" RONALD REAGAN
“We cannot play innocents abroad in a world that is not innocent. Trust, but verify.” - RONALD REAGAN
"Our concern must be for a special interest group that has been too long neglected. It knows no sectional boundaries or ethnic and racial divisions, and it crosses political party lines. It is made up of men and women who raise our food, patrol our streets, man our mines and factories, teach our children, keep our homes, and heal us when we're sick—professionals, industrialists, shopkeepers, clerks, cabbies, and truck drivers. They are, in short, "We the people," this breed called Americans." - RONALD REAGAN "The West will not contain Communism; it will transcend Communism." - RONALD REAGAN "In an ironic sense Karl Marx was right. We are witnessing today a great revolutionary crisis, a crisis where the demands of the economic order are conflicting directly with those of the political order. But the crisis is happening not in the free, non-Marxist West but in the home of Marxism- Leninism, the Soviet Union. It is the Soviet Union that runs against the tide of history by denying human freedom and human dignity to its citizens." - RONALD REAGAN
Boy, they are going to go after Trump with both barrels now.
Nobody is going to be "another Reagan."
Nobody is going to be "another Trump."
It's time for conservatives to move beyond Reagan and start looking ahead. We are not going to be able to exhume Reagan and put him back in the White House.
There's nothing wrong with being nostalgic and by the way, this is the 35th Anniversary of Reagan's Labor Day speech in 1980, if you care to click through to it and remember what was. Perhaps 35 years from now, there will be conservatives watching speeches from this election and reminiscing about what once was.
But Reagan is not coming back and any comparison of today's candidates to him are meaningless.
Forsmark is a homosexual.
What should be a slap-able offense is yet another would-be pundit bleating about Trump’s already explained scorecard, and shameless “special pleading!”
Get this through your f***ing heads; Trump is putting his finger on the things we want fixed.
It’s not his f***ing hair!
It’s not his f***ing celebrity!
It’s not his f***ing history!
No amount of bad-mouthing Trump is going to change the fact the Guppies have ignored us since Reagan!
Nothing but an opinionated hit piece against Trump.
Reagan and FDR are clearly the two most consequential presidents of the 20th Century. If America survives, the president who repeals Obama’s entire destructive legacy will make the list of most consequential presidents of the 21st Century.
Note: I would not put the former junior US Senator from Illinois, Barack Hussein Obama, on any list of presidents at all. Even if the alleged Hawaiian was actually born in the USA, I will continue to consider him a usurper and all his actions in our White House illegitimate. He has not acted in accordance with the Constitution, and most of what the communist druggie has done specifically violates the Tenth Amendment and Article II of the Constitution. The sooner we can revoke all his executive orders and actions, repeal all bills he signed, and impeach all his nominees for office, the better.
