What % of Townhall reporters and commentators are NeverTrumpers?

And, I remember what happened during Reagan’s funeral.

It was a week-long event; the PEOPLE came out in droves (similar to Trump’s campaigns); and they showed up to be in the city during the funeral, as well as to take the time to just walk past his casket. They filled the Mall to capacity; and when they left, there was not a single scrap of paper on the ground.

The media was beside itself; whining and complaining about everything. ALL THEIR HATRED TOWARD REAGAN GOT THEM NOTHING.

IT’S GOING TO BE THE SAME WITH TRUMP. The people will speak and the media will be STILL on the outside looking in.

Reagan would have won 12 years ago. He wouldn’t have won 4 years ago, or today.

Nevertrumpers don’t want Reagan. They want Hillary - she’s one of them.

“Voting their conscience” is a BS excuse to continue trying to fool the public that there are 2 parties. I’ll accept it from the ones who can show me all of their attacks against the 2015 Congress - and Republicans in general over the last 8 years. But the rest want Hillary.

He is going to rise from the dead, but electing him President on the last day seems kind of pointless—and unless we amend the constitution again, he’s not eligible even if he does rise from the dead.

That said, I’ve written in both Coolidge and Taft.

NeverTrump is really all about never-ending illegal alien inundation.
They are not conservative at all if they do not want to conserve the rule of law and the nation.
Their only concern is blocking the citizens from stopping the Cheap Labor Express.
In every election since the last amnesty, the GOP has run amnesty candidates, intentionally preventing the citizens from electing anyone who would enforce the immigration laws.
GHWB and GWB are largely responsible for us having 30 million illegal aliens.

The real reason the NeverTrumpers oppose him is because he stands with the citizens and the rule of law.

There was an article about voters in Ohio, a very blue collar area that normally votes for D's. Most of them are voting for Trump, some gave the reason as Romney hates Trump, so they re voting for him!!

Another great reason to vote for Trump, Romney is a two time loser, go away!!

Reagan was rabidly pro-abortion as governor, and handed 3.5 million Mexicans amnesty, without doing a damn thing to secure the border (not because of Congress, because he naivelybelieved in open borders). He turned tail and ran after 241 Marines were slaughtered by Hizbollah in Beirut, when he could have strangled the Islamic Jihad baby in its crib before it became Hamas, Al Queda and ISIS. Worse, he was stupidly convinced by a photo of a Druze baby killed by the PLO (shown by Arabist James Baker) that it was Israel's fault and forced them out of Lebanon, when the PLO was about to be destroyed. He "defeated" the USSR, while doing nothing to stop the USSR's actual victory in American schools and civil service (YouTube: Yuri Besmenov to understand how). What the hell was so great about Ronald Reagan?

If Trump builds a wall, and does nothing else, put him on Mt. Rushmore.

Part of the goal for conservatives these days is to REGAIN those values the Left has discarded. That’s the not-so-subtle message of Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign.

Well if Barack Obama isn’t our Jimmy Carter, who is.

Speak for yourself young'un, some of us have had both.

Though Reagan was a better President than Trump will ever be, we need a MEAN PITBULL this time around to dismantle the socioeconomic fascists and PC thought police regime.

Trump is the man for these tough times.

Reagan was tough, but he was a gentleman.

A gentlemanly style doesn’t work against today’s leftist thugs. GHWB, GWB were “gentlemen” (they never fought back and now look what we ended up with).

Slick Willie Clinton was a low-class junkyard dog and his wife is his B.... Trump has more class than Slick Willie and his wifey.

Obama is infinitely worse than Jimmy Carter. Carter was hopelessly naive in foreign policy; ridiculously sanctimonious in questions dealing with energy & human relations. But he did not hate America, as an ongoing purpose.

He did not sit in the pews of a church where the pastor "damned" America for 20 years; nor otherwise act like he shared such a profane message.

Moreover, while the inflation that sent the prime rate to over 20% happened on Carter's "watch," the causation went back to the preposterous way LBJ handled the Viet Nam War in the 1960s.

We have not yet seen the fallout coming from the era of Obama.

he was NOT saying who he was supporting at all.

Same difference.

You are very right....Given the obvious hatred the press has for Trump and his supporters....i think there is going to be some kind of change/shift in the MSM world.

*I would imagine many stations will see drops in revenue
as fewer viewers tune into them
*If Trump does start turning things around, less viewers
means some media, both print, social media and cable
will go out of business
*Trump will probably only do interviews with those that
stood by him...and will see to it that those in his
administration avoid certain, networks, programs etc
His not going to be into driving ratings up for those
that treated him and his viewers as ‘deplorable’

Hopefully a lot of good will come out of it. Like less
PC and politics in TV programming.

Hopefully there will be a time we are glued to TV as hearings are held for those that did harm to national security and ripped off the US for major $$$

Like the $6B Hillary’s state department cant account for

That arrogant pos of 1600 Pennsylvania is at least ten times worse than the peanut farmer from Georgia.

His legacy is that he is the worst president in the American history.

The daughter of Robert Kennedy made the fabricated claim that George H.W. Bush told her that he would vote for Hillary Rotten Clinton. She posted it even on Facebook but retracted it later.

What the hell was so great about Ronald Reagan?

You left out No Fault Divorce the simple way to destroy families. Also the delusion of tax cuts, lower rates and remove all deductions.
