I just finished watching a streaming video of Trump's rally in Alabama. And I gotta tell you, the guy spoke like Reagan would. Trump doesn't quite have Reagan's sense of humor, but otherwise, yep, Trump reminds me of Reagan.
watch any of Reagan’s speeches and there is a marked difference in approach. his 1961 speech on commie healthcare or his normandy address ... and of course, his ‘tear down this wall’ speech.
everything he said, he stated in a way that inspired the audience. of course, this is usually the case for someone with a professional speech writer. i believe Trump is just being Trump... which is all fine and good, as people are starving for authenticity. but he also needs that something extra that dares the audience to aspire to something greater.
just saying ‘we’re gonna be the best again’ isn’t really inspiring.
Was Reagan the last Trump?
Reagan didn’t call names and use blustering blurts like “Shut Up” except for one time that I’m trying to remember!
************************************
Possibly when he turned and said “I PAID FOR THIS MICROPHONE!” during a debate...
I know you took heat for your question, but don't sweat it.
You're right.
Trump is the next Reagan...in that he speaks to YOU and not to the people who are going to tell you what to think about what he said.
Your #34 is very good!
You make some great points.
I’m struck by two things while reading this thread.
First, how full of crap all the Trump bashers are in claiming Trump supporters worship everything the Donald says. Just looking at this thread puts the lie to that little bit of excuse making for their belligerence.
Second, how all these people keep lamenting all the qualities Trump doesn’t have.
Wake up people! The folks who gave you those affectations are the ones who got us into this mess!
No
Only one Reagan
Only one Washington
But Trump will do
His balls compensate his ideology...sorta
Do you still just lean right?
I mean come on.....I leaned left libertarian long haired rebellious 40 years ago
Tell me you’re over the leaning part
Thanks for the laugh, I needed one.
Because there are many fickle people who are dazzled by the next shiny object, or the newest bandwagon. You would think that conservatives would take a more reasoned and deliberate approach.
Other that Trump's immigration plank, for everything else he would do "something terrific". Wow! that is a rather deep candidate.
No. Reagan was a leader
Claiming your fellow men are inferior individuals because they didn’t back your loser is deep.
You and I think alike, See my post fro 6/16....

No. Reagan called to the best in us.
I’m not certain yet what is going on with Trump, but I don’t trust it so far- though I’d really like to.
And temper tantrums from old timers shames FR. Hyperbole and histrionics has no currency here.
You've been here so long, but can't construct arguments any better than n00bs?
Your going to have to do much better than "if you don't agree with me you're hopeless" to get the respect you think a long beard deserves.
Analysis is only good if it's right. Much of what we're getting is little better than Mac vs. PC caviling.
I can see Trump throwing a long ball and asking for resumes ( soon ) for his new admin from all titan's in Business, and many of them are the top notcher's in the trenches of so many companies you never even heard of. Oh my, would the fur fly in DC... In regards team mates and attitude, he will hire the best the make him look good and the country great. Both of you folks know that attitude comes from doing, you have to engage and do it and your attitude changes, but the initial spark is a positive one of I can and it is no big deal, lets get on with it. Perhaps having Trump for 4 or 8 years re-igniting that within the slacker generations we have now will be worth is price of admission.
Can I put a VP out their that is non DC and boy will I get Daggers here from FR? Former CEO of Ford Motor Company Allan Mulally. Trump / Mulally anyone?
Trump will be BETTER than Reagan.
The reason no one wants to engage it is because there's no objective way to determine what's GOING to happen.
That makes any discussion just an exercise in stroking your ego.
How? Do you remember Reagan?
