I don’t think I compared him to Reagan, he is totally different from Reagan. The only similarity is that he was once a democrat and converted, and I guess too that he’s a product of the entertainment business.
I said that if you go back in time before Reagan’s New Hampshire primary, Reagan was being laughed at, ridiculed by all the conservatives out there. He was a joke to them. The Bushes mocked him., “At least I actually flew a plane, rather than pretending to.”
Trump, for better or worse, is a true product of my generation, the baby boomers. He’s the right person for the times we have, and we have not had a strong leader in this country since Reagan, before that our presidents were strong leaders in the world for the most part.
My brother thinks Trump is P.T. Barnum. He doesn’t particularly like him. But he says it’s clear if things continue as they will in the world, it plays into Trumps cause.
It takes courage to run for the presidency. Esp with the nature of the media. I think Trump is really the only person who can truly unite us, and I’ll be the first to admit, he may end up bringing more democrats to our side in the process while losing some conservatives.
Clearly, he needs to evolve over time, and move with conviction to the right on every thing. The revelation with Planned Parenthood is a no in between issue. I can’t believe the media is not asking the democrats where they stand on this. They love to play tough with our people, not theirs.
In summary, I’m sorry that you can’t see anything positive in Trump, but frankly speaking, we are in a crisis and the Ted Cruzes, Scott Walkers, Bush and Carsons don’t cut it, and never will.
They’d all make great running mates, SCOTUS, attorney generals, SOS etc, but they are not stand up gutsy American leaders. If you’re waiting for the perfect candidate from our side, then you’ll probably be sitting this one out come next November.
You assume much.
