I backed Buchanan, worked for and voted for him in 2000.
It was the GOPe’s treatment of him in 1996, that opened my eyes to how vile they were. They laid the title “the Next Hitler” on him that spring, and killed his chances.
They tried the same thing on Trump, and the beauty of that is, he crushed them despite it.
Folks that can’t grasp the significance of this are destined to do one of or both of two things.
1. They will keep trashing Trump for being a Leftist.
2. They will see him only as just another candidate, someone we don’t want or need.
W R O N G
We must want him, because we desperately need him.
He is the antidote to the GOPe folks.
Trump is not just another candidate. He has the gravitas to drive through his policies. We will back him up 100% as he does it too.
Buchanan’s two big things in 2000 were immigration reform, sending the illegals back and sealing the border, and stopping the devastating effects of Free Traitor policies.
Trump addresses both, and extends it out to cover the complete Reagan doctrine, and includes additions that make his platform more to the right of Reagan’s. That’s not a put down of Reagan. Reagan did what he could do in his day, and he was light years ahead of the pack. He’s the best president in my lifetime.
Trump may or may not surpass him. I say that because there are some very important things that need to be done, and Trump is on them all. But even if he does implement them all, he will be no better a president than Reagan. We will simply love them both.
If he is successful in implementing those policies, it will be cause we understood it all so much better, because the Gipper led us in the right direction.
I love Reagan. In time I hope we all can love Trump as much.
I was with you in 2000. Remember the Bush-Buchanan wars? Good times.
