This is not the first time Trump has been compared to Reagan here. And the Trump comparisons don't stop with Reagan.

FR Trump comparison list:

• Churchill

• Washington

Trump is a petty crybaby much of the time. I don’t recall Reagan having little spats with every reporter/host who asked him a tough question or had someone on their program who had something critical to say about him.

Reagan was bigger than that. Reagan was a happy warrior, went over the heads of the naysayers in the media, had a long history of conservatism before he ran for President, etc.

One thing I think we can say for sure, Trump is no Reagan - not even close. But to be fair, Reagan is gone and we can’t sit around waiting for another Reagan clone.

Trump is, at best, a wildcard. A polished realityTV host who flip flops on positions and who he funds depending on what his needs are at the moment. Trump is, no doubt, a deal maker per his own words. Reagan cut deals too. Everyone does. What is important though is where to draw the line, and that requires understanding the underlying arguments of what conservatism is. I do not think Trump has a clue in that department.
