Reagan’s Son: Trump’s Base Would Pick Putin Over Any Democrat As U.S. President
The Huffington Post ^ | July 27, 2018 | Mary Papenfuss

“The most important thing to them is that Trump seems to hate the same people they hate,” Ron Reagan says.

The son of former President Ronald Reagan believes Donald Trump’s political base is so consumed by hatred for the Democrats that they would vote for Vladimir Putin to be America’s president instead of virtually any member of that party.

“They really aren’t in touch with reality. The most important thing to them [is that Trump] seems to hate the same people that they hate,” Ron Reagan told Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s “Hardball” on Thursday. “That’s the real Trump derangement syndrome.”

On the other hand, they like the people Trump likes, Reagan said. Russian President Putin’s popularity is rising, he noted.

“If it was left just up to Trump’s base, they would elect Vladimir Putin as president of the United States over virtually anybody with a D after their name,” he added. “If Trump seems to love Putin, they’ll love Putin, too.”

A revved-up Matthews groused that if President Barack Obama had committed an antic like one of Trump’s, he “would have been keelhauled.”(continued)

Yes, I would.

No Democrat is fit to be in any position of power.

Putin seems to have the American people’s best interests in mind more often than ANY Democrat does, so yeah.

Hard to conceive of an enemy with a more destructive agenda than today’s Democratic Party. They’re not even faking it anymore; they want Americans to die.

Let’s face it, the bar is REALLY low.

As far as bars go, I'd vote for the inanimate bar(rod) for potus over any 'Rat.

Compare how Donald J Trump raised his children versus the Reagan’s. May be Nancy had a lot to do with the results.

Difference?

Putin is a nationalist

Putin outlawed the promotion of homosexuality

Of the top of my head. Those are two things the democrats hate about him.

Maureen was great; she died too young. Jane Wyman’s daughter, I think. Michael is good most of the time. Patti and Ron are just dreadful.

On the other hand, given the choice of Putin or Trump, where would the Democrats go?

There is an obvious logic stream that little Ronnie neglected to include in his vapid diatribe; to wit, if the Democrats had Vlad as their nominee for POTUS vs. any Republican you could name (squishy Mit or Jeb, e.g.), they would vote enmasse for Vlad.

That's how polarized this nation has become, thanks to the rabid marxist progressives of the Democrat Party.
