Walker’s observation is correct in my opinion.
Donald Trump could be a Ronald Reagan type if he were not so grumpy and insulting. RR never ad any of those characteristics.
I have said this before and I will repeat it. I want to like DT, but cannot get past his rather ugly persona. He is a narcissist, and we have put up with one for 7 years already in the WH. In fact, the Clintons are similar in that respect. GWB had at least a sense of decorum and love of country without all the preening and insulting rhetoric - along with his shortcomings - which were primarily trying to be nice to people who insulted him. That was not good.
So, is Donald trying to be the anti-GWB? He ought to be imitating RR and being anti-Obama and anti-liberal. It is obvious DT does not like Obama and this administration. That’s good! So he ought to concentrate on that aspect and get over all the insulting and boorish habits. If he does not, it will not matter how good he talks, he will not be able to overcome the distasteful impression which turns lots of people off.
“Donald Trump could be a Ronald Reagan type if he were not so grumpy and insulting. RR never ad any of those characteristics.”
Except that Reagan ran during a time when civility still existed in America. That is no longer the case. You can see that from the Internet, to media, to driving, to just standing in line at Walmart.
Trump is getting his “We’re pi***d off and we aren’t going to take it any more!” message out above the din of the hate-filled, incredibly-biased media, and the others simply don’t have that kind of a Mega-phone.
Just look what Colbert did to Cruz.
And Jeb is already being defined as slow, and an Idiot by that same media.
It’s a different game now than when Reagan ran. Back then the establishment smiled and talked nice in public.They were only after the little people’s money.Now,they don’t even put on a facade and their goal is the destruction of America.
