Reagan ran into a lot of internal opposition too. Not equating Trump with Reagan, just pointing out the “precedent” for this kind of behavior. Party purists eating their own.
The people clearly want an unconventional outsider this year. They’ve had enough with politics as usual and are sick of professional politicians screwing up everything.
The pundits may not agree with them or like it, but that’s the political reality during this election cycle. The country is broken. People are tired of the insincere rhetoric, false promises and lies. They want real change and results and, for many, Trump (with all his imperfections) seems to personify that. He is the standard bearer whether the Never Trump people like it or not.
In my opinion we should be thankful that someone like Trump is willing to stand up for us and take the slings and arrows that inevitably come at you during a long and exhausting campaign. None of the pundits are willing to put themselves on the line yet they are content with throwing stones at him.
“Not equating Trump with Reagan”
It’s entirely possible that Trump could be equal to, or even better than, Reagan. We don’t know what God has in store for us.
