Imagine, without the obsolete electoral college, we would've had President Al Gore instead of Dubya. We would've had President Hillary Clinton instead of Dump.

Reganomics created the economic conditions for Trumpism.

1981: Nat'l debt was $918 billion...then, 43 years of Reaganomics, and Natl Debt $35 TRILLION... Thanks, GOP

They both catered to the Rich that financially caused hardship for the working class

There's another thing they have in common: They both developed debilitating dementia.

Both trump and reagan ruined the middle class by being carnival barkers of the gop.

I'd say it was more Newt Gingrich that got us here. By far.

Rush Limbaugh played a pretty significant part along with Roger Stone.

Didn’t Reagan do away with the ‘fair and balanced’ requirement in media, which led to an explosion of extremist right wing media?

[joshader]

Reagan was an actual conservative, where Trump is simply opportunistic.

[confederatenationalist]

Nixon and Reagan actually turned Chyanar into a superpower.Having stated the intention of doing so.

Gee, do you think the circumstances they faced were the same?

Why is this person’s opinion sought?

[danburnes]

I would say Trump is bizarro or evil Reagan in many ways. Trump courted and then corrupted many in the Reagan constituency. On a policy and competency basis, there are vast differences. Reagan did hold some virtue, Trump has none.

Let’s make it simple…both Reagan and Trump could relate to the American people and neither were career politicians. What does that tell you?

[allanrichardson]

I’m not sure it was an accident, but it went way farther than Reagan intended.

[elizabethclaiborne]

Why are y’all nattering about the dancing clown Reagan when it’s the Lee Atwater’s and Karl Roves who did this? Manafort and Stone.

Reagan was pro LEGAL immigration, not illegal immigration. Democrats seem to think that is a meaningless distinction.

My three favorite presidents Reagan Trump and Nixon😊
