I remember his trip to Iceland very well.

ABC, NBC, CBS talking about how he was unprepared and
was going to be an idiot face to face with Gorby.

The networks never went back to that and they never will.

Reagan handed Gorby his ass on an American made platter.

Yes he did.

And the whole scenario...running up to the 190 election, again in 1984...the MSM was certain with all of their cretins that such an individual could never win. Yet he had two HUGE landslide victories for many of the same reasons we see today.

A lot of people voting were either not alive, or too young back in 1980 and 1984 to remember.

But I do and the same issues face us today.

it gives me hope when I see so many millions of new voters coming our and voting in the GOP primaries. I believe this will be amplified in the general election.

Ronald Reagan talked positive about America and had a commitment you could sense and feel to making good on his promises to re-establish the shining city on a hill.

Trump’s message is similar. If people believe he will do it...they will turn out and vote for him, just as they did for Reagan.
