Lol...is Albert Hunt still alive?
I like to think of Reagan and Trump as the bookends of the Republican Party, sadly the GOPe is outside of them.
Reagan was good; Trump was just better.
I hope the day of big-government Republicans is fading fast so we can have real, effective opposition to the Commie-Rat party. Time to move decisively against the corrupt, moral degenerate Rat Party. The GOP Rat-lite wing gives them too much cover.
Funny how Democrats are always so concerned about Republicans and never seem to be introspective. Why do you suppose that is?
Reagan and Trump are on the same side. Liz Cheney is on Team George Herbert Walker Bush.
“I actually think Trump was even better than Reagan.”
Yes. Love both, but Trump was more effective — and Trump didn’t give amnesty to illegals.
Yes, it is a fact that Trump lost the election.
It is also about to be revealed that Biden didn’t win the election either.
That’s where the people are at, not where either factions of the GOP are at.
Unfortunately, the books between the bookends have already been colored in.
Cheney was not Reagan in any way. Dick Cheney, her father, HATED Reagan.
Reagan was a great president, an eloquent speaker, and a polished politician. Donald Trump wasn't a politician at all -- which made him far more effective as President.
I agreed with about 95% of what Reagan did as President. I can honestly say it was damn near 100% of what we got from Trump.
In all fairness, if Ronald Regan hadn’t deteriorated so much he would have finished far better.
The too Low Temperature Blood he was given after he was shot really shocked his system.
Splitting hairs within Uniparty Team B. Cheney or Stephanick, Boehner or Ryan? Oh my, such monumental decisions. The fate of the nation hangs in the balance, which shade of GOP treachery will it be for own new leader? What a crock. Hell, for Republican rubes this beats bread and circuses.
LOL. Liz would have supported Bush, not Reagan.
Author fails to see he is among those splitting the party, not Trump.
Exemplified by “audacity to tell the truth: that Trump lost the last election”.
A fair, Reagan-like leader would understand that believing the election was ‘stolen’ is a fair and common perspective, even if one doesn’t share that conclusion. Rather than accommodating this perspective, author berates those who hold it - exactly the divisive rhetoric he portrays himself (and Cheney) as being above.
Yes, Trump lost - because the Constitutional referees ignored what many saw as obvious fraud, and denied him a win.
Reagan would have reached out in empathy & respect of diverse feelings & conclusions.
Cheney & Hunt want to cut off those who observed widespread ‘anomalies’ in real-time and object.
And there ya go. That is exactly so. The Bush league has been dumped. Let Republicans be the party ot Trump and Reagan.
I don’t.
Trump was fantastic.
But you have to measure presidents by their challenges. Reagan had to defeat the Soviet Union without blowing up the world. Yet he did it. In fact, despite the few casualties in Grenada (I don’t think you can put the Marines in Lebanon in the same Cold War category), Reagan defeated the USSR almost without losing a man. This is by far the most titanic military victory in human history, dwarfing Napoleon’s surrounding of the Austrians at Ulm (100,000 surrendered) by vast orders of magnitude.
Al Hunt is a moron on PBS. He compares Liz Cheney to Reagan? When Bush and Cheney were in office, they talked about how different Bush was from Reagan.
The author implies that the exercise to oust cheney impugns Reagan. No sale. Cheney is her own worst enemy, she earned the ouster with her ego, arrogance and inability to actually lead the conference. (Note: you’re not a leader if no one is following you.).
Leftists and their sympathizers are so transparent if you pay attention.
“Trump is far closer to Reagan in terms of policy than 95% of the “leaders” in the GOP.”
And both Reagan and Trump believed in the Constitution and the American people and put America first.
