I agree. Also, if anybody remembered the news clips of the 1980 campaign, Reagan used to always speak about the government as if he wasn't a part of it. People really tuned into that because Reagan made it about "us vs them" with them being the U.S. government. Reagan would say things like "Once again the government has their hands in OUR pockets."

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.

Well, yes and maybe no.

Reagan talked about limited government all the time. I’ve yet to hear Trump do that. Reagan talked about extraordinary Americans...Trumps talks about, well, Trump. Reagan talked about what WE can do, Trump talks about what HE can do.

I am a long way from sold that Trump will go to Washington to uphold the Constitution (another topic he avoids) and work to limit government.

As far as limiting government is concerned I think that Trump will cut government in order to save money.

It may not be for idealistic reasons but I think he would make major cuts in costs, therefor government, just like he would in one of his businesses.
