Stephen you're a complete idiot. Shove your compromise.

[Alas Babylon!]

Why not both? Trump ruled like Reagan, but the purests hate his mean tweets.

[God luvs America]

LOL- are the rats the party of Kennedy? Or the party of Castro?

Effing idiots

[Signalman]

Trump’s dark and pessimistic vision of America as “a nation in decline”?

Anyone who can't see that the nation IS in decline is an idiot.

[Boogieman]

a) Reagan’s been gone for a long time, and the Republican establishment in the last few decades has shown zero interest in following Reagan’s lead.

b) Better a man like Trump who actually fights than spineless RINOs who are only good at collaborating with the enemy.

[PeterPrinciple]

Different leaders for different times.

[ChicagoConservative27]

I would say Trump was pretty Moderate

[escapefromboston]

How about the party of Coolidge

[MotorCityBuck]

👍

Times have changed. Zombie Reaganism is not applicable in many cases since the world has changed massively since 1980....and I say this as someone who was and is a huge fan of Ronaldus Magnus. He was exactly what we needed at that time. Trump is exactly what we need now.

[Highest Authority]

It’s time to become the party of REVENGE!

[Berlin_Freeper]

There is no Reagan.
There is Trump.

[Jim Noble]

Reagan is dead, and was not that great when he was alive.

[GAgal]

That was before “Desanctimonious” and “Birdbrain”.

[wildcard_redneck]

The choice between President Reagan or President Trump is a false comparison by snakes that hated Reagan. Regan would e disgusted with today’s Republican leaders. Make no mistake, the GOP did everything they could do to stop Reagan back in the 70s and 80s.

“Stephen Neely is an associate professor in the University of South Florida’s School of Public Affairs, specializing in survey research and public opinion.”

There’s the answer to this stupid editorial. He’s a kneeling baby-murderer.

[ALPAPilot]

It’s the party of Lincoln, which means its the party of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution.

Why do I think RINOS hate the Declaration of Independence more than progressives?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Neither.

We are now the party of people who want to survive in reality world.

If you want grandkids you have to join us.

[caddie]

Tampa Bay Times is a real communist rag.

Worse than the NYT. The only thing that makes it harmless is that nobody reads in Tampa.

[caddie]

USF is likewise a place where the economics and political science people are self-avowed communists.

Incorrigible.
