The Trump-Reagan parallels

[bolobaby]

Interesting @bolobaby  ... I wonder why you're afraid to take your tired, worn out blather directly to me.   

Didn't my comment say it all? I learned early on that you aren't interested in logic and facts.

Never try to reason a person out of a position they weren't reasoned into in the the first place.

So that's why I usually don't address you directly. Your Trump Safe Space antics said it all during the primary.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Actually, we've already seen absurd parallels with those, and more (including Churchill  ).

This has been full blown for quite some time.

My favorite was Seabiscuit. Trump is seabiscuit. Those words were actually uttered on this very forum.

Could that commentator have meant to suggest he was a horse's ass?

Oh, dear @bolobaby   You appear to be confused and desperately stuck in the past.  Sad.

I'll be here to help you face reality and educate yourself.  I won't ask you to reply, so don't worry about that - - -paying attention will do just fine.

Be well.

Speaking as someone who remembers when Harry Truman assumed the presidency on the death of FDR, I hope you will reserve your lecture for other venues.

I'll defer you to then as my elder.

As such, I will only say I'm not pleased with anybody joking about dementia.

Not you, not others. Not a lecture, merely an observation.

[Frank Cannon]

They had dementia in common.  Reagan at the end of his two terms.   Trump entered the office with the disease.

Really? You ever catch the first Reagan debate with Mondull?

Which pea-brained-offspring-of-first-cousins brought evan mcmuffin into the conversation?

So you #NeverTrumps are washing your hands of that moron? This is quite a sea change in a couple short months.

I'm kinda glad I missed that one.

But I guess it's better than calling him Secretariat, and actually surprising that no one has done that yet.....

[Rivergirl]

I remember the media ridiculing Bess Truman for not wearing more fashionable attire when she was first lady.
Don't remember her whining about it.
Next up, the media was after Eisenhower from the start.  Too much golf.  Do Nothing President.  All those pocket vetoes. (am I having a Dan Quayle moment)
The msm always believed they were the last word on EVERYTHING.
This is the ONLY administration that whines whine and whines some more.

Wow... how old are you if you don't mind me asking?

It's interesting that so many of you Trumpists put everyone who opposed Trump in any way for any reason into one stupid, monolithic category.

Do you actually think, Frank, that we all opposed this terrible candidate for the same reason, and chose the same person to vote for instead?  If so, you are sadly mistaken.

And I'm sorry to see that......

My vote (we have such an option in Nevada) was "None of These Candidates."

I have no regret about that vote, either.

I'm more baffled how an old party game became news. Pick any two people from history and find 10 similarities - the slightly more educated version of 6 degrees of Bacon.

[Rivergirl]

Sadly, I am old enough to lament that this presidential election might have been my last and I did NOT vote for President.
Hope I live long enough to get another chance.    Always voted Republican, altho you had to be 21 way back in the day.

Well, that's likely half right...

[Smokin Joe]

I never supported him either. In fact I was pretty 'vocal' about who I did support, given the remaining options. Maybe folks didn't read that far.

Well, I, for one, hope you get as many more opportunities to vote for POTUS as you want.

"Forgotten no longer"

@Right_in_Virginia

That's the guy who salutes a cardboard cut-out of Trump every day, right?

I actually feel bad for him.  I don't know any grown men who felt forgotten until they hurled themselves into a politician's arms, and then everything was all right.

@Rivergirl

There was no Republican to vote for this time around.

Lord willing, we'll both have someone to vote for in 2020.

There are SO many parallels with Obama and Trump fans, aren't there?  Remember how people thought Obama was going to pay their rent and buy them appliances?

Same deal here.

Sad.

You living in a parallel world that is 6 months behind ours? I hate to break it to you but Trump wins.

To be completely fair, Trump has occasionally done that for people. The Worm, never. We'd have heard about it 24/7 if he had.

Yes, I remember people saying this about Trump NOT.

Sad.

Of course, I'm sure there are dozens and dozens of articles that show this point NOT.

Their idea of conservative may be one who stands for open borders, compromising with the Democrats and one who hurts the Republican brand, in other words, George Dubya Bush.

I'd be very interested in seeing your idea of "conservative," and how Trump could be described as such.
