The extreme left-wing Nobel committee will NEVER award a conservative a peace prize. President Reagan never received on, and extreme left-wing liberal Obama got one for just getting elected.

Nobel is a political joke.

Absolutely correct - Reagan’s policies lead to the end of the Soviet empire, including freedom from communism for Poland, reunification of Germany, etc..., yet Trump will join Reagan as one who’s efforts actually diminished the threat of war but will never be recognized by the Nobel committee for such actual accomplishments.

Honestly - Reagan deserved the award much more than Carter for his prior efforts or Gore for his publicized fantasies. The award to Obama was simply sticking a fork in conservatives’ eyes and now so many are suggesting that Trump deserves the recognition based on the now disregarded qualification laid out in Nobel’s will - awarding the Peace Prize to the person who “shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses”.

Until the Nobel committee is cleaned out and gets back to basics the prize is meaningless.
