“Ronald Reagan was also a “celebrity”.”

Yes, and Reagan used that celebrity as a springboard to a long career in public service, from decades of political activism to serving two terms as governor of one of the largest states in the nation, before he ran for President.

For which conservative candidates has Trump stumped on the trail? Which conservative causes has he made his own, traveling the country to support? Reagan did all that and more, and if you’re going to invoke the Gipper to bolster Donald, then you’d better have examples.

Being a “celebrity” by itself is not the issue. Being *only* a celebrity is.

Trump’s “celebrity” is completely beside the fact. That is only good for name recognition to people *who actually watch tv & follow “celebrities”*.
It’s his business skills (efficiency, budgets, negotiation- his INTEGRITY) that are his strongest assets.

Why does Trump need to “stump” for any other candidate? He isn’t a Washington insider. His financial support isn’t enough? The things he’s written in his books & expressed in interviews *for close to 30 years* isn’’t enough?

You Cruz backers just throw out one thing after another & try to create confusion & contention whenever anyone addresses a “point” y’all try to make. You remind me of the Pharisees & the Sadducees trying to entrap Jesus. This looks more like the tactics of the devil to me than people trying to serve the Lord. This is dishonest.
