And I paint in broad strokes........you are trying to compare two different times in world history by saying all Democrats that were for the New Deal were all in this nefarious camp, which I’m sure encapsulates some of them.

At the same time it was most of that party favored the Lend Lease program....a move that would not be correlated with today’s bunch.

Again, Reagan being a Democrat in 1930-40 is not the same as Trump being a Democrat in 2004. Nor were the impetuses for each man to leave that party.

Reagan left the Democrat party on principle. Trump left it to find a way to run for higher office, eventually rotating between Independent and Republican. BUT first, left the Republican party because he identified more with Democrats.

So what?

This country is VERY different than it was in 1980.

If you could somehow resurrect Reagan in 2016, he'd lose, and lose badly.

He would be crushed in California, even though he was a successful two-term governor.

Trump a perfect conservative?

No.

But if he loses, it's lights out for the USA.

We simply cannot take on any more free-loading illegals, and mass-murdering refugees.

We can argue the abortion issue later.

If Hillary wins, it will be illegal to even have an "opinion" against abortion.

Her SCOTUS will make sure of that.
