Thanks for posting this.

This topic was discussed earlier tonight (250+ posts).

Many excellent points were made by both the Ted Cruz and Donald Trump fans.



America is NOT the same nation as we were in 1980.

Donald Trump is NOT Ronald Reagan, in that Trump seems to easily flip between Democrat and Republican.

Donald Trump has some GREAT ideas however, and communicates them well.

Ted Cruz is NOT the communicator that Ronald Reagan was. However, Ted Cruz has a longer-standing "conservative legacy" than Donald Trump.

Neither is a perfect "11-Point Conservative", and neither was a pro-choice Reagan perfect.



It pains me that Ted Cruz and Donald Trump are engaged in a lethal blood feud now.



Yeb and Kasisch and Rubio MUST BE STOPPED.

Period.

Trump today pulled a anti-Cruz ad he featured today...I think he know he has to be careful....Cruz pulled one of his as well....might be a soft truce we’re seeing.

I would add to this that it is an error, in my opinion, to assume the principles defined Reagan. Rather, it was Reagan who defined the principles. Reagan, THE MAN, not the checklist.

I do not recall there being another Reagan in American history, especially not in the last 7 presidential elections—win or lose. Again, it’s because copying Reagan’s positions does not make one equivalent to him.

I happen to think Trump is the closest IN SOME WAYS — mainly being able to take bold pro-American positions, often ignoring even well-intentioned advice, and to be a GREAT COMMUNICATOR . . . at least in the eyes of some of us.

I could swear that this was the 3rd or 4th time that this has been posted today, although it seems like the dialogue has had more than one title.
