Reagan made up for his years as a Dem by constently spending more years advocating Conservative principles. These newbies like Trump have yet to prove Conservative bonafides.
Sorry not everyone can trust these newbies cause we have been burned too much by them see Rubio.
And even yet Reagan still screwed things up from time to time. What got PEOPLE not to notice and to be warm and fuzzy about him, was his halo. That halo, however, didn’t supersede the reality.
Our source of trust, I venture to posit, should be elsewhere, namely God (and the God documented in the Judeo-Christian bible, not some impostor).
