Well, maybe Reagan without the charm.
But that was a different time.
Democrats weren't nearly as up front with their nastiness then. Even with his charm, I don't think the rats would be acting any differently with him had he been elected in 2016. Nor would the media.
Trump is far from charmless, most people like working with him, and say he is quite wonderful. One thing for certain, Trump has the instincts to take the fight to them, perhaps even more so than the Gipper did.
It's a different time.
Emphasis mine.
Then again, I think we need a President who calls it like he sees it and says exactly what's on the mind of those who put him in office. Trump does that, in spades.
Reagan = Gene Tunney
Trump = Rocky Marciano
