Donald Trump is a lot like Ronald Reagan when dealing with moderators

Interesting recap of Reagan's unconventional approach to the debate process some 36 years ago.

If this scenario played out today, no doubt many anti-Trump people would be saying how Trump must be "scared" to debate Bush one-on-one by insisting on the other candidates joining the debate.

Reagan never had to deal with “moderators” who are so openly partisan as are Crowley and Kelly.

I don’t know.
I tell my kids you guys are lucky, when I was a kid we were slaves, ate dog poop and drank cat pee.
You should feel blessed.

Title: I see this as a high credential. Reagan was the last real, true, caring PRESIDENT this country had. He loved this country and deeply respected the oath of the office he occupied. A 1000 year man.

Cruz and Trump are NOTHING like Reagan when debating. They can’t even get a clue.

You are right Reagan wouldn’t be as vulgar as Chump. He’d say, “atleast I don’t have a flag flying from my head.

Reagan would never have taken cheap snarky shots at conservative Republicans like Trump has to Cruz.

It’s what we have come to expect for New York values. Trump isn’t fit to shine Reagan’s shoes, let alone fill them.

ObamahatesPacoal, 1st I noticed your name. I’m a Texan by choice from Philly. I keep telling my family the Marcellus has more gas to supply the entire Northeast and thankfully NY is stupid (ny values) to make it illegal to frack Marcellus. You folks could lay pipelines throughtout the entire northeast and have cheap energy independence.
Nah, I think a better idea is to shovel 2 feet of snow off solar panels. Yep that’ll work

Trump is to the left of the moderates only if one embraces Islam and allowing any rapist or serial killer who wants to come to the United States and do as they wish free reign to do so.

And one hundred percent of the people who defend the moderates are of that same ilk.

No exceptions.
