Actually, I owned a condo in Ocean Grove when City by the Sea was filmed. My dog actually broke away from me and ran onto one of the sets. Highly embarrassing. But they had to graffiti Asbury Park & the Grove to make it look much worse than it was. Many of us who worked to bring these towns back were very upset and protested the movie.
Visited Ocean Grove many times when I was a teen and early twenties.
Went to the Great Auditorium for special events.
We used to have to move our cars out of town before midnight on Saturday night and walk back to our hotel.
The Sampler Inn and the Grand Atlantic cafeterias had great food; used to get macaroons downtown on Main Street.
Thanks for reviving some good memories.
NYC is still exciting and vibrant. It will outlast DeBlasio. You either get NY or you don’t. I wish those who don’t would just keep out of town instead of living here, doing nothing but complain, and wreck our reputation.
The Sampler Inn is gone, I’m afraid. My mom and I used to line up in the cafeteria for breakfast while others would hand out religious pamphlets. We bought our first home there - a few years after they got rid of the law that all cars must be removed. We bought when they had to put up a gate on Wesley Lake to keep out the drug addicts of Asbury Park. That story went national! A beautiful town and I got to watch Mel Torme rehearse at the Great Auditorium. It was his last concert - he got a stroke about a month later.
0bama does the same thing with the generals, BTW.
How is Trump conservative?
And no, it’s not true to say that adhering to conservative principles would have disqualified Reagan. That’s a myth spread by the Establishment.
When we have a conservative president, the Republican Congress will pass his agenda.
The Republican Establishment didn’t like Ronald Reagan, but once he was president, they were only too happy to try to enact his agenda.
---
Reagan passed one of the nation's toughest gun banning legislation as Gov and he legalized abortion before the Supreme Court did. Also, Reagan was divorced - not a bog deal now but he was the first president to be divorced and this is the party of family values.
Ronald Reagan, for all his faults, understood that government is not the solution, government is the problem. He cut taxes, led an economic boom, brought down the Soviet Union, and did other things that were conservative.
Did he attempt to do any of the things you cited on the Federal level? No? I didn’t think so. On the whole, he had been a conservative governor.
Mr. Trump has numerous liberal positions that he still advocates, or did as of a few months ago. Furthermore, he has made comments that show he doesn’t understand that Big Government itself is the problem.

Have you ever listened to Trump? At every rally he talks about the out of control spending in DC, always has.

If you need more, go look.
He says he’ll revoke all of 0bama’s executive orders, as Cruz also does. The difference is that Cruz doesn’t believe n government by executive order, but Trump says “I’ll do good ones.” He doesn’t seem to understand that that’s as much the problem as the “stupid” people in charge.
He is willing to use eminent domain for the advantage of private interests. He wants to increase ethanol subsidies. (He’s the only candidate to take those particular positions.)
Economists hve said Cruz’s tax plan (and that of Rand Paul, who’s now out of the race) are more pro-growth than Trump’s. Trump actually wants a Sanders-like surtax on the wealthy.
Trump is all over the map on 0bamacare. He says we need to repeal and replace it and he has made a few brief remarks about market-based solutions, but he’s also said good things about Sanders-style single payer (”It works well in Scotland and Canada”) and has recently been saying everyone will have healthcare and the government will pay for it.
He has opposed complete defunding of Planned Parenthood.
You cite a couple of agencies he’d like to get rid of, but he does’t go nearly as far as Cruz, who says he would get rid of 5 departments. (I believe some agencies would also be included.) And things like covering everyone’s healthcare, increasing subsidies, and the like will more than make up for those cuts.
These are a few of his views that show a departuer not just form conservative positions, but from the broad conservative principles.
Add in teh rough way he treats anyone who gets in his way and you vhe a recipe for a presidency that will not make those of us who love the Constitution happy in most ways.
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH,,,,if you think I’m going to go point by point to destroy your little misinformation campaign, think again. FActs don’t mean anything to you cruzers.
Facts don’t mean anything to you Trumpkins.

Trump Saved a Georgia Farm
Trump has always done a LOT of charitable works, but hasn't ever publicized it. He's a much better person than m osgt and better than anyone now running...in any party.
