Very similar to Reagan maturing out of the DnC, and his love of FDR may have been the catalyst to cutting the Cold War short by at least a decade, if not much more...

We need someone that can reach across the aisles, sorting out the whack-jobs from those worth saving.

We also need someone that isn't saturated in the climate of law and political science, that is what delegating responsibility is for, in this place in history.

Without gutting the Deep State and granting triage to the Middle Class and Small Business Entrepreneurs, the USofA will not stay together in one piece for another 10-20 years.

What We the Sheeple REALLY don't need right now is a bunch of outdated, self-important talking heads...

You do realize that many folks here believe that reaching across the aisles is a sign of weakness and makes one a "RINO" - right?

Not a bad analogy, although Reagan's transformation was established well before his candidacy.

I know that Trump is not a proven commodity. But his campaign to date has been based on positions conservatives have long advocated. And his ability to deal with the MSM has been exemplary, if not superior to Reagan's. Trump can lead and is not afraid. And as you say, Trump has the non-politician pedigree many have been demanding.

Trump will be on the ballot as the Republican nominee. Hillary will be the Democratic opponent. Both races are essentially over. The right needs to get its act together and win this thing.
