Geeeeez! Why don't they call me before writing these headlines? It should be:
Is "The Donald" Trumping Reaganism?
The writer throws around words that have lost their meaning through dilution.
He fears destruction of “the Reagan Coalition”. Pray tell, who might be the leaders of THAT group? Can you name those august personages? John Boner and Linda Grahamnesty?
He also is apparently looking for a “Movement Conservative” to pop out of the woodwork and save us from Trump. IMHO, Ted Cruz was about as close to my estimate of a Movement Conservative as one might find these days.
Then his clay feet became visible. Voted for the Corker amendment. Proposed increasing the influx of H1b immigrants. Voted for Obama’s fast track boondoggle. I don’t think there’s a true Movement Conservative in the mold of one of the Founders on the planet today.
Being a realist, I recognize Trump, even with his impurities, as the only one in the running today that has a prayer of saving our Nation. Also, I’m still hanging with Cruz, in soite of HIS imperfections. But Trump MUST be in the lead. Because Trump has at least two qualities which our candidate MUST have, which even Cruz does NOT have.
Trump’s camaign is self financing. No donors or lobbyists needed. And Trump has the backbone, the gestaldt, the chops to break up the CORRUPT BASTARDS CLUB in Washington, DC; to borrow a phrase from Sarah Palin, and turn our Nation around.
Meaningless juxtaposition of Reagan and Trump.
No mention of the 60’s (other than Goldwater), no mention of Jimmy Carter and the ‘malaise’, no mention of GHB’s betrayal.
No mention of the collapse of the Democratic party’s political center following Bill Clinton, and the growth of Liberal Progressivism.
Today’s RINO-Left were yesterday’s Democratic center and the line remaining from RINO-Left to RINO-Right is stretched pretty thin.
Trump will have a harder time than Reagan did shoring up their respective ‘coalitions’, but he’ll do it if he can bring 20% of the black vote to the conservative side.
