"Over? Did you say over?
"Nothing is over until we decide it is!
"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Both were the oldest presidents to take office; both took unconventional paths to the presidency; both had experience in Hollywood and the media. Both were also accused by critics of being controlled by their advisors. There are other uncanny similarities.
In the end, what both share is an indifference to — rather than disdain for — elites. Each disrupted the establishment; each in his own way, made accommodations with it.
What Schweikart sees, which others — even some Trump supporters — have yet to appreciate, is that the 45th president is not as much of an aberration as he appears. As Reagan: The American President suggests, Trump is, as Reagan was, the restoration of a uniquely American ideal of limited, yet responsive, government.

We needed Reagan like presidents for thirty years..
Trump like Reagan will be a bump in the road unless we get Trump like candidates
Larry Schweikart’s a never-trump.
And, no I won’t courtesy ping him.
Didn’t Reagan later lament his mistake with the immigration bill?
Trump is the road-closed barrier before a dead end.
After Trump it’s over.
Yes he did. But his biggest mistake was signing legislation while CA gov allowing abortion.
“...Larry Schweikart’s a never-trump...”
I don’t think so...
I often see FReepers commenting that Trump is the greatest president in their lifetimes.
Forgetting, I’m sure about Ronald Reagan.
Just like many claim Obama was the worst president ever. Forgetting there was a Lyndon Johnson.
Many people only live in the here and now.
This show a complete lack of understanding dire situation the USA finds itself in 2019. Reagan would be leading the protectionist charge if he were alive today.. We had a tiny annual trade deficit in the 1980's. Reagan would be applied that the trade deficit is almost as big as the entire federal budget in 1985. Reagan was no free trader.
I am not reading this crap.
“Larry Schweikart’s a never-trump.”
I can’t imagine why you think that.
Or a Woodrow Wilson.

Good points... Ronald Reagan: the best there ever was and the best there ever will be... but I still like Trump.
What are you talking about?
He certainly is NOT a NeverTrump person. He co-authored the book “How Trump Won” with Joel Pollak.
He is a prolific conservative author who has spoken at Tea Party events.
He is scheduled to speak at my club, Tucson Republican Women, in June.
That is a first class quook statement.
I got to vote for Reagan in 84, for my first presidential election. His eight years bought us another 20 years the way I see it. Trump might get us another 20 years. If we get a typical Republican candidate in 2024 it will be a blood bath for the GOP.
Trump is the first guy in the White House since Reagan that I actually believe gives a damn about the average American on Main Street. The elites hate them both for that.
LS is not NOW or or EVER has been a NEVER TRUMPER, he has been a Trump supporter from day one!!!!
