Only thing is, Reagan was a class act who exuded integrity, and Trump is a sick man.

[refreshed]

There really is not much comparison. It is a reach to say they are alike. It does a disservice to both of them.

[unixfox]

Trump iz no Reagan.

[Slyfox]

I would love to see Ronald Reagan debate Trump. He would clean The Donald’s clock the way Reagan did Robert Kennedy.

[JoSixChip]

Trump has the potential to be better then Reagan. If he builds the wall and deports all illegals, he would be the president that saved America and the greatest ever. Worthy of his own Mt. Rushmore monument.

[Republican Wildcat]

Their campaigns are alike, eh? I don’t believe Reagan ran a campaign that the government’s job was to “take care of everyone” and blast “you conservatives” who disagreed.

Stone: hack for hire.

Trump was a big supporter of George Bush #41.

trump doesn’t even know what a Conservative is meanwhile Reagan was a fierce advocate for Conservativism for decades.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Reagan had a proven conservative record. It started with fighting communists while in Hollywood; and was solidified and grew while governor.
Trump has; nothing.

[plain talk]

As far as I’m concerned Cruz is the closest thing we have to Reagan these days that is running for President.

[Forgotten Amendments]

Reagan was right in 1980. Any serious comparison to Trump proves that someone else was right in those days:

[Reagan Disciple]

These two idiots should find different work.

ROGER STONE /

It seems like I heard that name before

[Thumper1960]

"If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals - if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is."

[TBP]

Trumpism bears no resemblance to Reaganism. Trump’s premise is that our problem is that we have a government that’s run by idiots (true as far as it goes), but that things will work fine once the right people (namely, Mr. Trump) are in charge. President Reagan understood that government is the problem and the solution was to restrain government power as much as we could.

Trump, while correctly opposing 0bama’s executive orders, says “I’ll do good ones”, which indicates that he doesn’t understand the problem fully. That alone makes his view of government very different and in many ways incompatitible with the Reagan view.
