I guess I'm missing something? Trump said he was going to use Reagan's call to make America great again, which Reagan did and which Trump has promised to do again. So what am I missing here?

[Clownkicker]

Well, to start with, Reagan didn't actually make America great again, so there's that minor detail. :lol:

[Intrepid]

Compared to the failed, bumbling incompetency, that is to say, the average donkey-rat presidency, of Jimmy Carter, it was a roaring success.
But AssClown Loser unLucky Tool thinks double digit inflation, interest rates and unemployment figures are a good thing.
That's just how stuoid this moron tool is.
His masters are not happy.

[RealJustme]

Reagan was clearly our best President ever, the fact that Trump has chosen to follow his lead is encouraging.

[Clownkicker]

But you clowns are here claiming Trump is following Bill Clinton's lead. :lol:

And the Reagan Republicans are running from Trump. They refuse to endorse him.

[johnforbes]

Bill Clinton's 1995 speech on illegal immigration said precisely what Trump is now saying.

Hillary is free to disavow Bill, of course.

[Clownkicker]

^^^^^johnforbes stops in to verify that Trump is following Democrat Bill's lead, as I just said.

That's nice of him to back me up for a change.

So maybe you'll tell us why it was bad when Clinton said it but good when Trump says it? :lol:

[johnforbes]

Oh, it was very good when Bill Clinton said he would secure the border.

But Bill did NOT do it.

I would have been very pleased had Bill Clinton lived up to his very logical words in 1995 and thereafter.

Trump's candidacy was created by the failures and corruption of the Clintons, and created by the failure of McCain and Romney to fight on illegal immigration and the economy.

[Grog]

What? 1956 is way too modern for the conservative base. They long for 1856.

[johnforbes]

Grog should read The View From Pompey's Head.

Or watch the movie, if only for Dana Wynter.

It looks like my post of The Young Republicans of 1956 went right over everyone's head. The purpose of the post is to show how Republican thinking has changed since 1956. Others here are touting Reagan but I doubt if he would get elected today, he would be much too liberal.

[johnforbes]

I don't think so.

Reagan gave amnesty to about a million illegal aliens, but never secured the border.

You don't have to be very conservative to realize that, if you have open borders, you no longer have a sovereign country.

Even with legal immigration, America has brought in 59 million new people since 1965. If you no longer recognize the country you grew up in, you are correct. It is gone.

Gone is the idea of knowing your neighbors, who may not even be here legally and may have no interest in even learning English.

Having secure borders in a time of terrorism, and having a GDP more than 1 percent, these are just common sense ideas rather than inherently conservative ones.

"I don't think so."-johnforbes

johnny, read your post again.

You just explained to us some of the reasons why snakeoil was correct and that Reagan was too liberal and unacceptable to current Republicans.



Honestly, now we know positively that you don't bother to read your own posts, let alone anyone else's.

[sillydaddy]

I remember Reagan told some really good jokes.... :lol: :lol:

[sillydaddy]

Well, to start with, Reagan didn't actually make America great again, so there's that minor detail.

I bet that's the last thing Clown was thinking...
when he was in that line waiting to get his free butter and cheese.. :lol: :lol:

[Grog]

Ronald Reagan was an affable buffoon. Nothing more but probably a lot less.

[johnforbes]

Actually, Reagan's own writings -- in his own hand -- put the lie to the notion that he was an amiable airhead.

If you look at JFK's own handwritten material, it is shocking how poorly educated JFK was.

Little wonder his father hired a Pulitzer-winning journalist to write JFK's senior thesis for him.

And a Georgetown professor wrote almost all of Profiles in Courage.
