Reagan is no Trump. Reagan was the man of his time. Trump is the man of his.

He’s no Romney, McCain or Dole either, all liberal GOPE candidates. Is Trump perfect, hell no. But head and shoulders above Romney, and McCain. Way better than Hillihag.

To quote our good Republican Party groupies/friends who have preached at us since 1988, you had better vote for our candidate because insert democrat bogeyman_______ will mean the end of all we know. We have to come together and unite, and we went through the primary process and have selected a candidate and we can’t have purity tests etc... Of course unless you are a Republican Party is your god worshiping snob, then you can trash the nominee and vote for the out of the closet liberal Democrat without fear of reprisal or guilt of conscience.

The Wills and Kritol’s don’t realize that with their attempted sabotage of Trump they are dooming the Republican Party to the ash heap of history and possibly the country as well. But Party Pukes could care less about the country as they have shown time and time again, it’s all about them.

Reagan is Reagan, there will never be another one. I hope Trump if elected is just half as successful as Reagan.

Proving once again that pseudo-intellectuals who wear those little round lens glasses simply cannot be trusted!

Must have been paid by the word. I had to stand on my head to read some of this convoluted bunch of pretzels that passes for journalism. Yes, Georgy, Trump says it better in just a few truthful words than you could ever do with your overstuffed sentences. Some journalism teacher must have given you an A+ for the most words you could string together.

If they were Conservative or Reagan Republicans they would shut their mouth and use Ronald Wilson Reagan Thirteen amendment

I thought it was the eleventh commandment, but I've been wrong before!

I have a vague recollection of Will being suspended from his day job at the time for helping RR prep for a debate.

Perhaps it was ‘84?


You are correct. I take the point of this thread, though. Will is an elitist who doesn’t much fancy lunch bucket conservatives or tea partiests, and he doesn’t have time for the likes of Trump. But he wasn’t a Carter or Mondale enthusiast in Reagan’s day, either.

Too bad about Gearge Will; once upon a time, long, long ago, he could turn out a piece worth reading.

Ted Kennedy was oozing youth and vitality from every pore? Or did he mean “from every pour?” TEDDY?

Exactly. This is one of Trump’a several major accomplishment - he has flushed them out. I am grateful for Trump.

The likes of Will quietly lambasted us in private, only Peggy Noonan tore through that veneer when she trashed Sarah Palin in 2008.

Since then....

* We created the Tea Party.
* We gave them gargantuan victories in 10', 12' & 14'
* And still they did nothing
* Then we find out Dem'd and R's asked the IRS too look into us and they did
* Then we find out they were using us, and used Citizen's United against us

It felt hopeless until Trump caught fire. And that was interesting in itself, because for the last 6 years we have been trying to change the GOP internally and they fought us at every turn.

It took a ballsy Billionaire to upturn the GOP like we couldn't as they stopped us, and rather than our internal change he did it externally. They irony of it is delicious, and they are in panic, one man is doing what a whole bunch of us tried to do, and more importantly he exposed them for the weasels that they are. I have been saying for eon's the likes of Will and Kristol should go to a Tea Party Meeting in fly over Country to see what we really think of everything beltway and how it effects our lives. They won't, they don't have the intestinal fortitude to do so.

I must borrow a Kuhnerism here, to be polite.

To the likes of Will... Blank Off and don't let the door hit you on the backside...

The funny thing is for the last 4 to 6 years here I have been saying the E-GOP have divorced us and we were too stupid to move out, let's go our own way. Now they are moving out on us after all we did for them and stupidly we asked them to change and be a better spouse metaphorically, and they didn't. You know what, we will be better off...

A song for them, and it should be a Trump theme song...

Kramer: “ Hmm! Oh! Yeah. I’ll tell you who is an attractive man; Gorge Will.”

Jerry: “Really!”

Kramer: “Yeah! He has clean looks, scrubbed and shampooed and....”

Elaine: “He’s smart....”

Kramer: “No, no I don’t find him all that bright.”
