“Do they know that Trump was a Democrat?”
You mean like Reagan?
Ronald Reagan:
President: 1981-1989
Republican (1962 and after)
Democratic (before 1962)
Donald Trump began his career as a little bit of everything. But mainly he identify's mostly as a democrat.
Donald Trump:
Republican (2012–present)
Independent (2011–12)
Republican (2009–11)
Democratic (2001–09)
Reform (1999–2001)
Republican (1987–99)
Democratic (Before–1987)
Reagan had a record of governing as a Republican. Trump is still a Democrat.
Please don’t be foolish enough to make that comparison...
Reagan was a Democrat in the 50s...
Trump was a Democrat in the 00s...
HUGE difference...
Notice: Reagan LEFT the Democrats as they moved away from him in the 60s/70s.
Trump on the other hand, stuck with them until politically convenient 5- 7 years ago.
You HAVE to see the difference... you cannot possibly be that blinded by the glitz and fame of Trump...
No, not like Reagan.
Reagan was a conservative long before he was a Republican.
Trump was a liberal (by his own admission) even when he was registered as a Republican.
Reagan committed to the Republican party and conservatism over 20 years before he ran for President.
Trump changed his party several times just in the last 10 years or so.
Reagan actually worked to elect conservatives and support conservative principles long before he decided to run for office.
Trump worked to elect Democrats and help them control Congress before he decided to run for office.
Reagan treated his opponents with respect and won by persuading large segments of the population that conservative governance would make their lives better and restore America to greatness and prosperity.
Trump is trying to win by attacking and insulting everyone with whom he disagrees, and promising to "make America great" simply because he says he will - trust him!
I am so tired of people trying to compare Trump to Reagan. I knew Ronald Reagan. I worked to elect Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan was my governor and my President. I actually met Ronald Reagan. And while Reagan was not perfect, Trump is surely no Ronald Reagan.
