Is Trump the Heir to Reagan?
by Pat Buchanan

To never-Trumpers this is pure blasphemy. Yet the similarities are there.

Both men were outsiders, and neither a career politician. Raised Democratic, Reagan had been a Hollywood actor, union leader and voice of GE, before running for governor of California.

Trump is out of Queens, a builder-businessman in a Democratic city whose Republican credentials were suspect at best when he rode down that elevator at Trump Tower. Both took on the Republican establishment of their day, and humiliated it.

I like Pat.

Having said that, to answer his question:
No.

Although Mr. Trump walks on the same path, those are shoes 'way too big for him to fill.

Perhaps he'll pick up the step as time goes by.

That wouldn't hurt.
