He also ended up turning foreign policy and much else over to the neoconservatives, who hang around like the political equivalent of the COVID-19 pandemic.
far better than Reagan in my opinion.
He was doomed from the start when he made GHWB his Vice President.
I think Trump was better than Reagan. He got the swamp dwellers to reveal their hidden agenda by getting them too angry to lie straight
Trump left Reagan in the dust.
One idea I’ve had in my mind over the last recent while is that had it not been for the backdrop of the Cold War during Reagan’s first term, you wonder if the Rockefeller GOPe wing of the party would have tried in 1984 something like what the Lincoln Project people did this past year in terms of getting Reagan dumped after one term.
yes far better than reagan, because these are not reagan’s times... we needed a street fighter and got one, but the mr. t or tyranny clobbered us...
we will be stronger for it and return.
the rye or the kaiser...
I like Paul Gottfried but basing an entire article around criticizing National Review is like going after people who thought the Sun revolved around the Earth. I doubt NR survives another 4 years let alone 8.
Trump didnt work with pelosi?
Trump tried to met her halfway, Pelosi wanted her whole agenda passed and refused to budge
Reagan set us on a course for demographic destruction. Amnesty gave us America minus Americans... which cannot work.
He was George Washington.
bump
Paul Gottfried wrecking National Review again. His quick rundown of the differing situations faced by Reagan and Trump is really good. Both men drew the ire of the GOPe, but Reagan was able to get his agenda largely through a Democrat-controlled House. Nobody lost his job for supporting Reagan. Things are different now.
NR must be destroyed. The only one there still worth reading is VDH.

Both were great.
Unfortunately Trump had his second term stolen from him by the Washington establishment. That awful establishment was hardly a twinkle in the eye when Reagan was president.
Hard not to appreciate both.
Yup, the whole dramatic transformations that occurred after he won the cold war, all fake like the moon landings /sarc
Trump is not Reagan. Ever.
the very notion is as absurd as the Obama-is-Lincoln was
He also ended up turning foreign policy and much else over to the neoconservatives, who hang around like the political equivalent of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Reagan did amnesty, gave us the Bushes, and Colin Powell. All bad things.
PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP is the GREATEST president in modern times.
THE GREATEST !!
MAGA !!
As bad as the mediots hated Reagan they became unhinged at Trump. Best counter puncher evah!
