Trump: A better candidate than Reagan
WND ^ | Oct 21, 2016 | Scott Lively

Posted on 10/21/2016 11:12:12 PM PDT by donna

Many of the people announcing an intention to vote for Donald Trump are adding a disclaimer to distance themselves from his unsavory comments or actions of the past. I’m not going to do that. In my view Donald Trump is today a far different and better man than the one who threw his hat in the ring at the start of this election cycle. I credit that to the unprecedented level of public vilification – the “borking” of Donald Trump – he has endured and appears to have been transformed by.

Whatever his worldview and the context of his past experience might have been, and regardless of the level of his sincerity at the beginning of his campaign, this man has made himself the spokesman for numerous positions and values that Christian conservatives (at great personal cost) have advocated for years. He hasn’t just pandered to us, he has walked in our shoes these past months, going far beyond the minimum necessary to align himself with us, and he has learned firsthand what we have endured at the hands of the Marxist elites. And through it all he hasn’t been intimidated into caving and pandering to the left like every other champion we’ve put our hopes in – including the otherwise stalwart Mike Pence in the Indiana RFRA debacle. Trump’s transformation is the best example of personal growth and maturity in a public figure that I’ve seen in my lifetime.

What more could Christian conservatives hope for than to watch a man of Trump’s wealth, power, acumen and courage discover the truth of the culture war and the utter corruption of the left by personal experience on his path to the White House?

All negativity of Trump style like bombastic is media propaganda to turn you all into passive peasants. A doer learns selling techniques. A passive employee accepts getting walked on.

Turn off the propganda tv. Trump communicates excellently well. He always has.

THE SECRET Shhhh!

Finally, the hidden secret, what Trump & Reagan had that no other candidate before them had ...

... drum roll ...

both had real backgrounds in economics.

No secret magic now is there. The article failed to mention that important fact, did it not?

What an absurd title. Let him win first, then govern, then get back to me in 4 years.

Reagan was from the old school of men, like my father, who was born in 1920.

Trump is a good man and will do a very good job, I think, but the class act of that generation will not be matched again.
