Reagan was my favorite until 2016. Trump actually delivered many of the things Reagan only talked about, and Peggy Noonan wrote much of what he said.

Reagan brought lasting changes; Trump not so much. Much of what Trump did was via EO, which as we know can be easily flipped and almost all were in the first several months.

I realize Trump did a lot with no help, even with a republican congress his first two years.

Reagan faced a democrat House his first two years and through personality and persuasion was able to get the democrats to go along. Trump doesn't really have that kind of talent. As much as I like Trump, he is not articulate at all. Trump is almost all bluster, which is why some people favor DeSantis for the nomination. He can articulate clearly a policy and why he is doing it and has been successful in actually growing the Republican party in a state viewed as a toss up. DeSantis knows how to select the right people, too.

I think everyone acknowledges that this is Trump's weakness - he had little success in choosing the right people for important positions.

I would be very happy with Trump again in 2024 if only in driving the media and the libs crazy. But Trump would have to push for Congress to actually pass into law his agenda and not through EO.

At least Ronald Reagan didn’t know how bad Anthony Kennedy was going to be when he put him on the Supreme Court. Trump deliberately put Is too Kennedy disciple left us on the Supreme Court. It’s amazing how suitable conservatives get away with trashing reggae.
