The point is that they both did use that type of language. Regan even did as president, although the clip isnt on YouTube.
“Could you imagine any of the previously mentioned great presidents of our past ever engaging in this very sort of behavior? I can’t. “
Yeah, I can, because they have. Go read on the election of 1800 for a freshman course on what people said in elections then. The only reason you dont see this as regular language is because historians made an effort to gloss over it.

Just so you know, these are their actual words.
This isnt really even about the language as it is about people finally seeing someone standing up for themselves and not following some BS rules of “decorum” that does nothing for us but make as sure losers in November. When the General starts, Trump will turn it on the Democrats just like they are sure to turn it on him, or whomever.

And this is where Trump really shines, in my opinion. He has done what no other previous GOP candidate has dared attempt... and that’s demonstrate how to beat back the media and win. Trump has been absolutely MASTERFUL at this and one would hope the Republican consultants would study this model for future election campaigns. However, I won’t hold my breath given the GOP Establishment’s propensity for being wimpy and fearful of the opposition party.
