The consensus with most conservatives is Ronald Reagan was the greatest conservative President ever. However, Reagan had a few strikes as a conservative, such as passing amnesty or appointing two moderates to the Supreme Court.
What do you believe President Trump must accomplish as President to be considered a greater President than Reagan?
Even though President Reagan was greatly admired as a conservative, he was nonetheless a constitutionally low-information president like all the other 20th century presidents imo.
In other words, Reagan was not necessarily up to speed with Congress’s constitutionally limited powers and associated limited power to appropriate taxes.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Patriots should be encouraging Pres. Trump to use his pen and phone to politically “force” corrupt Congress back into its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited power cage by studying state sovereignty-respecting presidents like Jefferson and Madison.
If he appoints another consevative SC Justice and keeps creating
Jobs he will be well on his way.
However, he will be working against RINO’s and RAT’s in congress.
He will have to learn how to go directly to Americans, as Reagan did.
Reduce the size of government and make Congress understand and know he will veto anything that lets government have more control and that adds to our national debt.
If the FRB did its job wisely, they would seldom, if ever approve additional funds to cover items that are over and above projected income (taxes, etc.). In other words, a balanced budget.
Once again, taking the lowball figure of 11 million illegals, they’d have to be shipped out at a rate of 7500 per day, 7 days a week, 365 for four solid years to be rid of them. We’re four months in. Time’s a wastin’.
This is our last chance to recover. But, signing that tarnishes Reagan immensely.
1. Clean up the swampy mess in Washington D.C.(including the corrupt skunks McCain, Graham, Ryan, and McConnell)
2.. Real repeal of Obamacare
3. Significant reduction in personal and corporate taxes
4. Cut regulations
5. Cut the size of governmant
6. Build the wall
7. Bring back blue-collar and manufacturing jobs
8. Rebuild the military
9. Create jobs in and fix the inner cities
10. Continue his magnificent job with the economy
And finally, and maybe most importantly:
GET RE-ELECTED IN 2020!!! (AND WIN MORE SEATS IN 2018!)
.
A lot of good ideas on this thread.
I want to add a suggestion:
End the unelected power of environazis in the US government. Especially with regard to the AGW hoax.
>>He will have to learn how to go directly to Americans, as Reagan did.<<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Trump is utterly strategic.
That means get as much low-hanging fruit as possible from Congress, get a lot of them on record in support . . . and THEN GO OVER THEIR HEADS TO GET THE REST!
So far I’m disappointed with Trump. He has had Republican Establishment appointments, Obama leftovers, Jared and Ivanka in top Admin positions. He hasn’t challenged Ryan or McConnell, looks like no Dreamers will be deported, and he just signed the huge budget that doesn’t address his immigration proposals. I hope you’re right that he will fight on the budge in the fall.
AGW is more than a hoax.
It is an attempt to establish a false (Satanic) religion.
There are a couple of things Reagan did that are going to stand out in history.
That and him being the first to sign a No-Fault divorce law into existence.
Reaffirm all of the constitution, down to individual words.
Reaffirm that with or without the Constitution, our people (And all humans, but that’s not his place to state) have the right to defend ourselves in any way we see fit.
Close off the borders. Not only with a physical wall, but with new procedures and digital watchdog apparatchik.
Allow US Citizens to defend our borders.
Fund a classical NASA and a classical US Military.
Remove, even forcefully, progressives in government. What they are pushing is anti-constitutional and that immediately disqualifies them from the position. They are committing crimes, and should be criminals.
Eliminate insider trading among lawmakers.
Flat tax.
Increase training requirements for all government jobs.
Eliminate motor vehicle and all personal property registrations.
Firmly reinstate state rights over federal edict.
My god, the list goes on..
He’s already better then Reagan by a mile. Reagan was fine but Trump is superior. I love how Trump doesn’t take crap from anyone. Reagan worked with Democrats too much.
Continued...
11. Get re-elected
12. Appoint at least two or three conservative judges to the Supreme Court
13. Fight and kill ISIS and restrain North Korea and Iran, but resist military involvement everywhere else
14. Clean up the mess in the intelligence community, who under Obama, drastically over-stepped privacy bounds leading to the dangerous use of private information as political weapons.
15. Fight and expose the media and The Left for their propoganda and socialist undemocratc tactics.
Trump can never be as great as Reagan. Ever.
Looks like no Dreamers will be deported.
Big lie right there. Good grief your post is crap. I think Trump makes Reagan looks like crap. Trump is strong and doesn’t take bull from anyone. Best President in history so far and he’s just starting.
Reading your list made me realize just how screwed up our country is.
lol. You forgot your sarc tag. Reagan the big time pro abortion Governor who as President acted pro life but put two horrible Supremes up. He opened the gates to immigrations to freely come into our country and hasn’t stopped until 2017. He raised the SS age which was not necessary. No fault divorces. Not exactly stellar. Now Trump holy cow is he great and will make Reagan look like a liberal.
Exceptionally well said. Post of the day!
