“Trump is the best candidate we’ve had since Reagan
Reagan got votes from both sides. Trump will also get votes from left, right and independent. Cruz will only get Republican votes. You cannot win with just Republican votes.”
Ignorance like this should stop people like you from voting in serious elections.
Did you ever stop to think HOW Reagan got votes from BOTH sides? Did You? Of course not, your mind is too easily manipulative to cult characters such as the Chump.
Either that, or your just a flat out coward.
Cruz gets votes from both sides the way Reagan would. By communicating an effective conservative message that offers a clear contrast to the other side that not only communicates to the general public that conservative practices and principles are the way to recovery, but by establishing a link of TRUST between the candidate and the voters.
Trump is not Reagan and your pathetic attempts to attribute him to Reagan’s likeness is sickening. Reagan didn’t go around bitching about how poorly he had been treated by the media, bragging about how high he was doing in the polls and about himself in general, nor did Reagn spew a bunch of talking points just to rile up the voter base over issues he really didn’t care about.
Reagan put the AMERICAN first. Reagan was SINCERE in his stands. Reagan was a brilliant COMMUNICATOR that made liberals rethink their way, or at the very least TRUST him even though his ideology may have been different from theirs. Reagan was POSITIVE in a demoralizing time. Reagan was HUMBLE while at the same time projecting strong LEADERSHIP skills.
Comparing Cruz and Trump to the qualities of Reagan, anybody that thinks Trump is closer to Reagan than Cruz on the qualities I just described is high.
Trump is about Trump. A narcissist, power hungry, egomaniac that is only about Trump and getting more power with the emotional maturity of a 10 year old. Sadly, many of his voters appear to have similiarities in emotional maturity which is probably why they like him.
The closest parallel that I remember to the current Trump phenomenon is not the support that Reagan received, but that of high school girls throwing their panties on stage at Beatles concerts.
Caught up in the moment, most of them were somewhat embarrassed later.
