Trump always supported Reagan. He still does.
Trump hates Bush. Always has. Like Perot before him and McCain in 2000 - they have a thing about all things Bush.
I have reasons I like Bush(s) and I have reasons I dislike Bush(s) too -- both of them. On this 30th anniversary of the attempt on Reagan's life, I'll admit that on this day 30 years ago I thought "Bush I" might have had something to do with it. I knew his history and I didn't trust him. I like "W" to the degree I did and do because he wasn't/isn't like his dad.
What I can say about Trump: He opposes abortion and gay marriage -- not all Bushes do. He believes in having the military patroling the Mexican border -- Bush never did. Neither does McCain. Trump wants to stick it to China and re-assert American sovereignty and monetary soundness.
In some ways Trump out Reagan's Reagan. Reagan legalized abortion in CA when he was a (R) governor. He regretted it, because it gave cover for what became Roe v. Wade. So what if Trump finds Bush less inspiring than either Kerry or Hillary. OK so what. He was wrong back then. So was Reagan at one point.
People change. Trump appears to have as well.
Reagan sounded different in 1956 than he sounded in 1960.
I'll give Trump a chance at this point because I like what I see and hear.
It's usually like that with politicians one chooses to vote for.
Some of the most effective conservatives are those who at one point were Democrats.
FReegards!
