Protests didn’t hurt Reagan, and they’re not going to stop Trump

Trump’s approval ratings are just fine.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Apples and Oranges.

No internet influence during Reagan’s terms, and certainly no social media, Iphones, Androids...

It’s a whole different world.

[Luke21]

Fake news and a bait headline from our enemies.

Violent offenders need to be arrested and charged.

Do that and they will stop. $1500 and sex with Madonna for 30 seconds is not worth the time in Jail for them.

Rasmussen is 53% Reurters is 50.8%

These poll numbers are bunk. Total rubbish. If his numbers were so, as they supposedly were before the election, how come Tom Brady had the most amazing win. I know, the morons on the left won't understand the statement about but, here is the crux of the matter: "Liberals, the 30% and shrinking minority voice, act as though Trump wants to kill gays, make slavery legal again and take away women's rights." So, two questions: 1. Where is the history of that in the man's statement and actions? 2. When did Trump become a Muslim?

2003 Iraq War protests world wide didnt hurt Bush

[sam_whiskey]

Meaning what then as it relates to Trump?

[mylife]

Trump loves Putin.

And will set Europe on fire.

Reagan hated the Soviets and was gonna set Europe on fire.

News flash, Europe is already on fire as is the N of Africa and Asia

I don’t remember any anti-Reagan riots. I don’t remember a serious effort to impeach Reagan and look for the reasons afterwards. There certainly wasn’t a revolutionary socialist movement that was well coordinated by social media, and truly eradicating America.

This is something very different.

A vote for DeVos is a vote for resegregation

TRUMP STOPPED!!!??

HE ain’t Started!

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

News and Social Media, along with Silicon Valley High Tech types are all forming against President Trump.

He can’t win that battle with his Twitter account.

He needs to stop with the Tweets and become the next Ronald Reagan.

[Vendome]

Stupid premise.

The only ones discussing race are the ones putting everyone into boxes to give or gain special rights, while pretending to be elevating civil rights ala a 1960’s protests.

Newsflash: The 1960’s are over and you are arguing over things that are culturally an anathema to most, by a super majority of 99.9% Americans.

I don’t personally know any racists and if I ever met one, we would never have any kind of relationship of permanence.

They would be ridiculed and scorned.

[sargon]

I don’t remember a serious effort to impeach Reagan and look for the reasons afterwards... This is something very different.

Yes, very different but even less legitimate and more impotent. All these violent haters are doing is alienating everyday hard-working Americans in droves...

[mylife]

There was, they HATED Reagan

[mylife]

They HATED REAGAN

What are these people smoking?

Approval ratings? In an age when they wouldn't get a poll to tell them that Clinton was DOOMED?

Plus, Trump could get everything he wants done in 4 years, and never need to face another election.
