Sorry, but not only are not the men comparable, the 1980 “situation” is not the same as the 2016 situation.
“the 1980 “situation” is not the same as the 2016 situation.”
They re in the aspect that the Media arm of the Democrat Party was projecting a “landslide” victory for the Democrat.
For that matter you can’t compare your hero Cruz with Reagan either. Starting with Reagan was eligible having met the NBC requirement, while Cruz is the Canadian born son of a Castro loving Cuban it goes rapidly downhill from there.
Both Reagan and Trump love(d) their country. Cruz and Hillary love themselves. Big difference. 1980 and 2016 are more alike then you think.
