Reagan was a true conservative for 25 years before running for President.
Trump was a conservative on some issues 25 minutes before running for President.
YEah, peas in a pod
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.
Reagan was humble..
Trump is not..
That doesn’t seem true considering his book ‘Time to get Tough,” published in 2011.
I think Trump can even make a better case than Reagan that he is a true outsider who can go to Washington and shake things up.

This.
The lows the Trumpsters have descended to is just pathetic. Comparing Donald Trump to Ronald Reagan? Just disgusting.
Donald Trump is not a conservative. He has never been a conservative. He has no history of being a conservative. His donations (to liberal Democrats) do not reflect those of a conservative. Trump is not ideologically grounded in conservative thought.
Trump is playing a conservative because he has, sadly, found a weakness on the right that he can demagogue with populist nonsense into gaining their support. Much of the garbage he spews is so obviously silly, yet Trumpsters don't even seem to notice. He would not win the Hispanic vote, he certainly wouldn't win the black vote, he would never be able to make Mexico pay for a wall on the Southern Border, seizing Iraq's oil is fantasy, etc, etc. All laughably ridiculous statements, yet Trumpsters turn a blind eye. It's almost cultlike.
In the end the Trump clown show will end, he will not be the nominee. When that day comes that his self promoting gibberish ends and people tire of him, there are a lot of supposed conservatives that should stop and think about how easily they were conned.
You’re a reader. He wrote the book laying out his vision for turning the country around in 2011. It will be rereleased 2nd edition Thursday. Read it! No excuse for not being knowledgeable and expounding UN truths !
You are aware his sister was a federal appellant judge appointed by Reagan and spoke for the conformation of Alito. That his father was also a major supporter of Reagan even before his election to President. Family sent him to NY military school from age 13-18.
If Reagan was running today you would be calling him a RINO. :-)
I copied son of the synopsis of the 2011 book here.
My understanding the 2015 has been brought up to date.
