Ronald Reagan was genuine, the real deal. Trump, I'm not so sure of. And I know it's early in the campaigning season. But what I saw of Trump tonight reminded me of Reagan.

Your thoughts?

Trump is no Reagan, it’s actually sort of insulting to make the comparison...

Not that I dislike Trump, but he’s not able to shine Reagan shoes in the communication department...

Maybe watching these will shed more light.

Reagan’s 81 Address to the Nation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8cF2S4QO_w

Reagan’s Socialized Medicine Speech
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYrlDlrLDSQ

Now you tell me, who sounds more like those speeches? Donald Trump or Ted Cruz?

This is about the closest thing I could find Reagan being like Trump on

No. President Reagan put in endless hours and years studying policy and figuring things out. When Reagan said something, it was well-thought out and he had reasons behind his views. He was a very hard worker, and earned everything he had and thought and did.

Trump is no Reagan.

You have in front of you an individual that has obtained wealth consistently all the while paying to play with a corrupt legislative gauntlet who “demands” cash for projects and things to go forward....he is reaching his last 25 years on this beautiful earth and wants to purge the current “INEPT” and paid for politicians with persons that generate the best for our constitutional republic. Absurd as you have been told ....manufacturing brought back and tariff’s established AND TAKEN will correct the current debt we supposedly owe....along with a windfall of tax revenue upon the states and federal governments because of persons working above the boards......put your money back where it came from and you will see it again....not protectionism at all ...why does everyone want to sell here?.....why does everyone want to migrate here(granted not all) standard of living . Our poor are extremely wealthy in comparasion to other nations....KISS rule applies to every aspect of our economy keep it simple stupid elect an American who can’t be purchased.....this guy Trump knows a few people I think....Cruz would be great for the high thinkers but we have to undo the illegalities commited.....he has allegiance to our great republic which has blesed him and his family....

Reagan and Trump have the SAME ability.

They KNOW how to directly CONNECT to the people.

Reagan because he honed the ability as a major Hollywood actor.

Trump because he's spent 12 years on Network Television,

BOTH connect very well to the people.. and I believe Trump would join Reagan in his ability to "get the job done."

Reagan had served two terms as governor and was a proven conservative for many years before becoming President. Trump is no Reagan.

Reagan abandoned liberalism long before he was President. He was also Governor before he was President. Also the weight of his ego wasn’t keeping the moon in orbit.

Trump reminds me more of Wendell Wilkie.

Reagan knew what he was talking about when he spoke.

If you pay attention Trump just speaks. It’s like his aides give him a stack of info from conservative blogs and he digests it and spews it. Want to know why? Ask him later? Changes something? Ask later. Says something revealing his more liberal nature? Ask later. No conviction.

Reagan had conviction.

Trump’s highly likely to be a big government spender, though, and I can’t support that.

Reagan? no. Trump doesn’t describe his vision nearly as grand

As far a speaking? Hell no. Aint even close.
As far as president? He has set the bar so high, I wonder if he can reach the goals.
But, being an outsider, and if he keeps the citizens behind him, he could well do it.

No matter who gets in, and I believe it will not be from the other party, they have one hell of a mess to deal with.

OK, here’s the deal.

Reagan was the 70s into the 80s... It was a WHOLE DIFFERENT WORLD.

35 years later, and after Obama getting elected twice - regardless of whether the second election was stolen in Ohio - it is not the country that elected Reagan.

In this day and age, to keep the USA from finishing its slide over the precipice, whether it is Cruz (my 1st choice) or Trump, or whomever, we have GOT to put up and support new leadership. Literally to restore, protect and preserve the ideals and intent of The United States of America as a constitutional republic, NOT a democracy - a constitutional republic,

“Just the facts, ma’am.”
