Reagan was an actor. So is Trump, given his television experience. Reagan began his political career as a liberal. So did Trump: He’s given lots of money to Democrats in the past.
In the 1980 primaries, Reagan was not the candidate of the establishment insiders. In this go-round, Trump isn’t either, to put it mildly. They’ve even got marital status in common. Reagan was the first divorced president, points out the right-leaning Newsmax site in its list of Gipper/Donald similarities. Trump’s been divorced twice.
Reagan was a movie star. Trump acts on TV. Reagan’s effectiveness on screen was a huge part of his political appeal. It’s the same today for Trump. The Donald can dominate on TV.
Trump is imperious. He’s aloof. He seems unconcerned what others around him think, Mr. VanDerWerff writes. He’s learned that this is what sells on reality TV. In that sense, he’s far more in tune with the era than a transplanted Reagan would be.
Sure, my first pick would be Bernie, but let's get real, it can't happen and unfortunately everyone knows that deep down inside. Hillary really will get the nomination.

Do you really want someone like that negotiating with our allies and enemies?
Anyhow, I'm for Trump, because, well, no real reasons that make sense, but lets say, a gut feeling.

Screw your gut feeling.
Trump has no business in our white house.
The man is a sleeze bag.

I liked it primarily because, even though I've been a life long Democrat since I was 18 and voted for Clinton in 92, I can't stand Hillary or any other political liar that we have to choose from.

I have this gut feeling that Trump will transform our nation, somehow, for the better.
I love that he is an asshole.
I love his derogatory comments.
I love the fact that he is pulling the curtain back from the "game" and exposing the whole process for the fraud that it is.
And I don't think I'm alone with these gut feelings…
Besides, how bout our new first lady, huh? hubba hubba!
They think Jeb is cute....

All I know is that if TPTB are truly scared of Trump, then Trump's my man.
Most women today have no more intellect than a automaton robot. If one says their voting for him the rest will follow. All "The Don" has to do is promise free makeup and pushup bra's, so the women can look good for themselves and not for the men. Sarcasm very well meant too.

I just don't see how Trump can get over the "creepy" factor among women.
Even my old Baptist, far right wing conservative, Republican mother says that Trump makes her want to puke and all her old bridge playing buddies echo that sentiment. They think Jeb is cute....
With out the women's vote; you ain't got Jack ****.....
And he alienated all the Hispanics and minorities.... who's left? There's not enough old white guy for him to get elected...sorry!
