Perhaps, but they were partisan - very partisan. For the democrats in the House, it took phone calls and letters from their voters to change their minds to support Reagan's agenda. Reagan was able to galvanize the great unwashed and was able to motivate them to let their reps know what they wanted. That is something that Trump can't do. He doesn't have the personality nor the ability to do so. Don't minimize Reagan's accomplishment.

I'm laughing at the moment because I remember when Trump got elected, so many posters thought Trump would walk right in and order Congress to do this or do that. He would order Ryan to do XYZ or else. I remember rolling my eyes literally thousands of times realizing how so many on FR were and still are completely naïve of the political process. It takes more than blustery tweets to lead and inspire a nation. Trump tries but time is running out. If Trump loses the House, all he can do at that point is play defense because the democrats in the House will order a ton of oversight hearings and investigate everything in every department. The House will tie up the government in knots, not to mention impeachment hearings. If Trump loses the House, that will be his fault. If Trump is impeached, it is doubtful he can be reelected.
