Regan refused to do the last GOP debate, In Iowa, and he won the nomination and the presidency TWICE !
I'm not saying that trump is Reagan, well, not exactly, but you just hate him, so can't see the forest for the trees. Neither, apparently, do you know much presidential primary history.
Good. He isn't.
Where Reagan would have built a coalition, Trump builds a mob.
..but you just hate him...
I don't "hate" anyone. I am not fond of being told by someone frothing at the keyboard what I think or 'feel'. You don't have a clue, apparently, so lay off the mind reading act. You failed.
My concern is this nation and its future.
...so can't see the forest for the trees...
Do you understand that the trees are the short sighted end of this? Not the long view.
I'm looking at the forest. You are howling because Trump has insulted all the 'right' people, gigged the media, stepped on all the right toes. You seem to be taking particular pleasure out of all the things that are being trashed, without considering that you are backing someone who changes positions so he can 'win'.
But without a compass other than 'winning', the deal can go against Conservatives. There is more to being president than that. Reagan knew that, and demonstrated it.
