First, Republicans tried calling Donald Trump too conservative. When that didn’t work, they started calling him too liberal.
The fact that Trump occasionally donated to Democrats (usually Democrats who could help him get real estate built in New York, mind you) has caused many of his rivals to accuse Trump of being a lefty, ridiculous as that may sound.
However, one recently-unearthed picture tells the truth about The Donald:
Yes, that’s Trump, posing with the greatest Republican president since Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan. And Reagan was certainly no lefty or RINO.
If that’s not enough, here’s video of Trump praising Reagan during an interview on Fox News:

Need some more? President Reagan’s own son, Michael Reagan, says that Trump reminds him of his dad in many ways.
“I want to see, and America wants to see, that campaign that says, ‘You know something, this is where I want to take America. I am passionate about it. These are my issues. This is what I want to do,'” Michael Reagan said in an interview on Newsmax TV.
“That’s why America right now has surrounded Trump, in this case, because he’s off the cuff and he speaks from his own passion.”
Even Sarah Palin has come out and talked about the similarities between Trump and Reagan in a column for Breitbart.
“Shouts of, ‘But he donated to Democrats!’ won’t sway Trump enthusiasts,” Palin wrote. “The man built a skyscraper in New York City – of course, he had donated to Democrats. If he was building it in Salt Lake City, I’m sure he would have donated to Republicans.
“‘But he changed his mind on positions!’ Reagan had been an FDR Democrat,” she continued. “Should we hold that against him or be grateful he saw the light?”
It didn’t work when Trump’s GOP primary opponents called him too conservative. And, from the way things sound, it won’t work when they call him too liberal, either.
Maybe it’s time for the Republicans to start listening to Trump instead of blindly bashing him. Perhaps, for once, they’ll understand what conservatives actually want from our leaders.
Trump was a Republican for a few years, then became a Democrat. Just like Hillary Clibton.
The only thing that could make that pic any better ... photoshop Lindsey Graham’s face onto the Agent Smiths.
Michael Reagan trashed Trump in an article. This fluff piece is built on lies.
I hear all these comparisons to Reagan and quite frankly they’re offensive. He was great, but he’s no Donald Trump.
Both!
Just as my post at #3 firmly establishes not only that Elvis was a professional boxer, but that Gaseous Clay was an excellent vocalist and stage performer as well.
Trump is among the most aggressive on immigration.
Bingo. I’d like someone, any one, to name ONE candidate who has come out as strong on immigration, as Trump has. Just one.
Here are just some of the points of Trump’s immigration plan:
1) building the fence 2) Letting our BP do their job 3) making those here ILLEGALLY leave, and if they want to come back, to do so LEGALLY and 4) fixing system to allow those - from other countries, who want to come here, to do so LEGALLY.
What have the other candidates....especially the front runners...said, that compares?
There’s a false/misleading Newsmax headline circulating, right now, that I’ve disputed, by posting a link to the actual interview that *report* claims to quote....fyi.
I have always found personality worship viscerally distasteful, even if it’s ‘our guy’. Now is precisely time to hold Trump’s feet to the fire, not worship him.
Sadly, all that was left of richardskeet by 18:15 Zulu on that first day of August 2015, was a burning cinder...
Money, money, money, money, money [6x]

It neither proves nor disproves anything, but it is a great picture.
This picture PROVES she's a Goldwater Republican! [And apparently, that Barry was very, very, generously endowed.]
Trump with Bloomberg and some guy in the middle who looks creepy.
Sorry but as much as I liked Reagen that honor would have to Calvin Coolidge.
lol
I shook hands with Reagan once. Does that change anyone’s opinion of me?
“Maybe it’s time for the Republicans to start listening to Trump instead of blindly bashing him.”
This statement is ignorant, in an otherwise well written article.
It is the GOPe that is blindly bashing him.
Look at the polls, his numbers are very high, it is not the rank and file conservatives that are bashing him.
