YEah, peas in a pod
Reagan often cited the greatness of ordinary Americans.
Trump often cites the greatness of, well, Trump.
His campaign theme?
Make America Great Again!
I’m not convinced.. Trump does not engender “TRUST”...
Bombast I like... but am not fooled by combovers..
The boy is bald.. but dishonest about it..
Trump should go all Telly Savalas.. maybe with candy pops..
IF he cannot be honest with his grooming...
His politics is suspect..
REALLY suspect..

One damned thing that Trump won’t do is AMNESTY!!
They both have a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. Trump “for playing himself”
All good and well, but I really want to see the similarities between Cruz and Reagan, that would be more telling.
I think I am going to throw up.
Trump held Conservative views back in to the 80s. That doesn’t mean he was solid across the board, but the idea he only adopted his views months before running for office this year is silly.
You don’t come up with the right answer on common core, local control of education and countless other solid views in 25 minutes.
How about the obvious - they both had _onald in their name.
One has a R. The other a D in front of Onald.. I can’t be the only one to see this right? Somebody smarter that I would have picked up on this?
Cruz may be great but he is a senator…we have only elected two…on Black and one Catholic…first for both….JFK and Jesus pictures were side by side when I was growing up..
+1
There will be no amnesty from Trump. Take that to the bank. There will be a big price to pay or they can leave. Get Ready.
Trumps got a great sense of humor too.
A reporter recently ran up to Trump asking which woman he wanted on the new ten dollar bill. Trump paused and said with a deadpan face, “My Mother” he smiled and kept waking.
Reagan was a conservative democrat, Trump a liberal. And once Reagan switched parties he never looked back. he certainly never said what Trump has, "I probably identify more as a democRAT."
