I always took RWR seriously and was upset and angry when his bid for the nomination failed in ‘76. Gerald Ford went onto lose to the peanut farmer.

RWR was always the ‘happy warrior,’ and much smarter than the hateful news media ever credited him.

I think Senator Cruz has RWR’s same demeanor and he also has a photographic memory.

President Cruz would be the next RWR, whereas President Trump would be an earthquake that shakes the entire world.

Every poster on this blog ties to analogize Trump to someone else. RWR was a great man and the beginning of a new revolution in the US political system that had been dominated by the Uniparty since LBJ’s corrupt reign. Trump is like no one else, IMHO. He will change politics I believe in many ways similar to RWR and will have power in his ability to go over the heads of the media the way Reagan did.

I guess I don’t understand the concern about Trump’s candidacy. He’s locked in on the anger of Americans and is plain-speaking, which is what we’ve been sorely missing.

I think many people live in this bubble where America only sort of existed as a global entity in the 20th century. There were sober men among presidents in the 20th century including (Teddy) Roosevelt, Coolidge, Truman, Eisenhower and Reagan. There were revolutionaries including Wilson, FDR, and LBJ. It was only in the last 30 years, however, that media presence was a big deal insomuch as we’ve had presidents who were obese, drunk, misogynist, and racist, but they were still elected.

I’m not saying that Trump is any of these things, but I think it’s time we have a president who calls back to old world ideas while not afraid to shoot from the hip. I’m tired of the politically correct bullshit we’re fed from Washington, and I think most Americans are seeing that as well.
