How Trump Could Be Like Reagan

[Silver Pines]

I work off of tangible economic results. You can work off of what the Church Ladies have to say. My way puts money in my pockets. Your way makes you feel guilty drinking a beer at lunch.

 Those qualities aren’t incompatible with success.

It depends on what your yardstick for success is. When it involves the government, mine I pretty low. Stay out of my way, stop stealing my money and leave me alone. If I want inspiration I'll read an old Bishop Sheen book.

Words to live by!   

And a great meme quote.  My Sicilian grandmother used to watch him every week while she knitted.

You were talking about financial success, so I responded to you.

I didn't  say I want or need a Saint in there.  Just have him put this thumbs in casts and stop tweeting and making a fool of himself.

I sincerely hope he does not stop Tweeting.

It is the way he is winning this country over as he bypasses the media filter.

Maybe tone down a bit, but certainly not what you suggest and stop altogether.

[IsailedawayfromFR]

Trump was tweeting a long time before becoming president. Considering how effective his tweeting has been in knocking down media straw men and bypassing the dishonest media since getting elected, he should have made it a promise during his campaign to continue tweeting no matter what. It’s working beautifully against media propagandists. I didn’t know when we got Trump that his tweets would be a bonus.

Absolutely spot on.

Those who wish him to stop do not know what they are saying.

Well financial success is my yard stick for a good government. It means that they are staying out of my way, stopped stealing my money and are leaving me alone.

Again, with Trump, it's not just about the economics,

Pro-Lifers for Trump speaking up again, he's done a lot in the social conservative area, it is wrong for some so-called Trump supporters to discount this when it's also said rather universally, that Trump was elected in part by the Evangelicals, white Evangelicals.

Moving the US embassy to Jerusalem and so on, there are many accomplishments  by Trump in this area.

Without the Evangelicals, good chance, Trump would not have been elected.

It's a litmus test for GOP presidential candidates, whether one likes it or not. Trump, Cruz, and on down the line, Rubio, Bush, Carly, all were strong pro-lifers.

Religious liberty forum just in the past two weeks and Trump threatening Turkey with sanctions over a preacher being held there?

Time to take in the whole picture of Trump, not just some areas.

[TomSea]

2nd amendment rights as well,  it's unfathomable to separate these pluses from the administration which some Never Trumpers and Ever Trumpers seem to do. He got elected in good part from a religious vote. It might not have happened without them. There are plenty of articles on this.

How does one define morality?  You can find problems with about everyone including once again Reagan.

That I could live with.  At least have a few people vetting before sending.

Title and premise:
"How Trump Could Be Like Reagan"

Coming from the New York Times, it's definitely a false one.

Fishrrman to Mr. Trump:
The LAST THING you want to listen to, the advice you least need to heed, is from an outfit like the Times.

Keep being yourself.
You're doin' just fine.

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

Reagan is remembered as The Great Communicator, . . . From the days before twitter. He took his mssg and wants to the voters in televised speeches.


Trump merely changed the media. Same operation. But no need for camera crews or need to wait months until network TV carried the next.

Tweets are instant. His fans love them.

I didn't care for it at first. But it works.

Frank you're a better man than I.

When I want inspiration I turn to Harry Flashman.
