Even if you didn’t “like” him, Reagan was likeable. Trump took some getting used to, after which I liked him just fine.
Actually Reagan was no Trump.
agree.
I agree. I would like those who criticize President Trump go through what he went through for 4 years. Then all of his so called friends turned on him because they lacked the courage to do what had to be done to restore Constitutional Government. Voting as 2020 proved is no longer an option. The Democrats proved that they will no longer honor and adhere to laws they helped enact and agreed to. It will take bloodshed to restore Constitutional Government. Because the Democrats, evil will not leave unless they are forcibly ejected. Throughout history, it has been shown the only way to stop evil is through the use of greater force. This we refused to do. I cannot count the times that it has been posted to me throughout the four years “They will not tale over here because we got guns!” Well. They did take over and we had guns. But we won’t have then long because Joe and Kamala or maybe just Kamala after they get rid of Joe are coming after them.
“Reagan’s biggest mistake the first George Bush...”
He didn’t really have free choice. Reagan would have liked to have chosen his good friend and fellow governor Paul Laxalt.
Despite having been California governor Reagan was an outsider and not popular with the Republican establishment. In order to guarantee the support of that GOP establishment in the general election Reagan had to let them choose his VP. But I don’t know why he didn’t dump GHWB in 1984 and take Laxalt for his 2nd term.
Today, the Left wants to destroy America as we know it. They've succeeded so far but half of the population are not with the program. So they are trying to destroy us. So they will dominate us.
Did not read whole article. Too late. Skimmed top and bottom.
A bit over the top in critique.
But, I will still say, Trump is no Reagan. Unpopular to say here, but I’m not afraid to.
It should be obvious. There is no way Trump ever had any kind of serious “landslide”. If he did, there would be zero way for Dems to get away with fraud. Reagan had the genius of communication - not just speeches. And he had the flawless character.
Dems try to call him the Teflon President - but I see that as a positive. Reagan had no real flaws so of course nothing would stick to him.
This made him hard to hate. Coupled with the other positives, Reagan won even more overwhelmingly the 2nd time. There was no closeness at all to either of his elections.
Who was?
No way Trump is. Washington would’ve not been over happy with Trump, just on a personal basis.
Check the English.
It’s a meme.
It should read, “bookends AROUND a whole lot...”
Between indicates between two points.
I am going to keep it the way I designed it.
OK, but it’s still wrong. Look up any discussion of “between” vs “among”.
Try “bookends with a lot of crap between”.
Then you can keep your “between”. Because you are saying the 2 are between crap now, surrounded by it.
Get over yourself.
He wasn't. And Reagan was no Trump. Each man was exceptional in his own way.
It’s a legitimate critique. Perhaps I could’ve just taken it to FR mail.
No. Don’t bother. I am tired of this discussion.
