“I don’t care about Trump’s past any more than I cared about Ronald Reagan’s past back when he was a Democrat and divorcing his first wife.”

Trump started saying the “right” things seventeen minutes ago.

Reagan was giving brilliant coherent speeches in defense of conservative constitutional values for years before he ran for governor.

I am really stumped, sincerely so, how does the example of Reagan not definitively lead a person to rule out Trump? Trump and Reagan? Really?

Doesn’t the example of Reagan lead to the conclusion that Trump cannot be trusted as the leader we are seeking to restore the Constitution?

What proof is there whatsoever that Trump even understands the principles of our Constitution? Bueller? Bueller?

As opposed to understanding the hot button words which attract the chumps?

I know it stings some of you guys but Trump really does have some Reaganesque qualities. Of course, they are totally different people from different circumstances and backgrounds. Nobody is claiming that Trump is a "clone" of Reagan but similarities abound in the way that they communicate directly to the people and the way they almost effortlessly handle a media that is blatantly hostile to them and wishes to destroy them.

Which brings me to this point. If Trump is the liberal that you guys keep saying he is, the proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing, then why are the media and establishment so hell-bent on destroying him? If Trump was truly in cahoots with the establishment, they would be cheering Trump on.

Another similarity between Reagan and Trump is that they have appeal across traditional party lines. Reagan would not have had the mandate and two landslides that he had had he not brought millions of "Reagan Democrats" to the GOP fold. Unfortunately the GOP squandered the political power that they had by foisting upon us milquetoast presidential nominees ever since.

While all of us would love to have a 100% pure-bred conservative like Ted Cruz in the White House, it's probably not going to happen with the current demographics. The only chance we have with Cruz as our nominee is if the Democrats completely fall apart and nominate somebody like a Bernie Sanders or a scandal-ridden Clinton (which seems much less likely to happen).

Trump has the ability to bring those "Reagan Democrats" back and if Trump can lead effectively, it will bring the nation further to the right and we'll be able to get a Ted Cruz elected in 2020 or 2024 no matter who the Democrats put up.
