Reagan would not vote Trump

Yeah, see this just highlights the massive massive delusion that people like yourself have been living under for the past few decades. The problem here isn't that Mitt Romney isn't a Republican. He's a textbook Republican in virtually every way. The problem here is that Republicans realize that a party which caters only to wealth business owners cannot win elections because there simply aren't enough of them. So for decades they have been dependent on poor dumb racist, xenophobic, homophobic, misogynist, religious, gun nuts to help get them over the finish line come election time.


Donald Trump's rise has proven that every single solitary thing that Liberals have been saying about the republican base is 100% true. It's nothing but poor stupid white people that are easily manipulated by appeals to their hateful bigoted beliefs. In reality they'd be better off economically, and educationally if they supported Democrats, but they're too ****ing stupid to understand basic economic realities so they get fooled into supporting trickle down bull****. The reality is that Democrats were never coming for your guns, God doesn't exist, our military creates more terrorists than it destroys, and while both political parties are some what okay with your jobs being shipped overseas, at least democrats want to offer you the education necessary to help you get a better one.

Nothing but leftist lib-tard drivel that leftist lib-tards every day try to spew about republicans.

Oh please, by all means explain how it is that the Republican party which supposedly agrees with your garbage ideas consistently sends candidates to the general that are the antithesis of your views? I mean if you're not being fooled into supporting a party that isn't actually interested in your ideas what's the real reason? Do all these conservatives that actually do agree with your ideology just randomly wake up on primary time and randomly throw a dart at a board to determine their candidate? Are all the other true conservatives just stupidly voting for non-conservatives? How come all the other conservatives are so easy to con and manipulate, but you magically see through it all?

Why is it that as a liberal my presidential candidates almost always represent the values I desire them too? How come we never seem to pick people we end up hating? What give us the magic ability to determine which of our candidates actually do support generally progressive ideas?
 
What a dick move, to put words in the mouth of a dead man to push your narrative. These establishment republicans are disgusting. They use words like " true conservative", but what conservative ideals are they fighting for at all? The answer is none. Trump is winning over the real conservatives because he promises them what they really want: lower taxes, smaller government, more jobs, better border security and above all a huge middle finger to sjws and neocon scum like these #nevertrump RINOs(who are literally former members of communist parties).
 
Says a guy will vote Democrat.
Theres going to be a lot of that this year...that candidate sucks SOOOOO bad...you should consider siding with us!
 
I'm not so sure that the modern GOP would vote for Reagan today.

1.My views are not garbage.


2.Its a combination of things why a candidate whose views are the antithesis to mine get elected.The first one would be media manipulation because name recognition and media attention go a long way.The second is RINOs in the republican who fool gullible conservatives into thinking republicans need to prop up a moderate.The third thing is open primaries and people being able to switch parties while a primary is going on in order to rat **** the opposing party's primary by either picking a candidate that will get curb stomped in the primary or by picking a consultation prize candidate that won't be too bad should your guy lose.

Plenty of libs hate Clinton.But she was chosen because in their mind Sanders is too extreme for the general. Sanders was only in the race to make Clinton look moderate and nothing more.

If you don't mind someone who sucks the testicles of illegals and ****s on the 2nd amendment then Reagan would be perfect.Its amazing how many conservatives act as though that mutha ****er is somehow republican Jesus. They got such a cult following of Reagan that it wouldn't surprise me if had WWRRD bumper stickers on their cars and had rosary beads with Reagan's face on a medallion.


 
Ronald Reagan's Son: I'm Not Voting For Trump And Neither Would My Dad

Ronald Reagan's own son says he will not vote for Trump and does not believe his father would have either. Now you might be thinking, "yeah, yeah, we all know that Ron Reagan is a huge liberal," but as it turns out even Michael Reagan the adopted son of Ronald Reagan who is generally a hardcore conservative nut has come out and said even he will not support him. Ronald Reagan was a Democrat back in the day before he switched parties and I think it's safe to say that if he were alive today he would have switched back by now. With the Bush's running from Trump like the plague it seems safe to say that there isn't a single solitary former president in decades that would support Trump. But hey, what would former president's know about the temperament and character necessary to do the job.

Nice Propaganda try. The Son you are quoting also once said Carter was a better President than his Dad, I will listen to the Street Bum living in a alley before Ron Reagan Jr.

Limited Power Govt, Free Market Capitalism, Saying what you mean instead of what is on the teleprompter...I think Reagan would like Trump.

Of all the X-Presidents you listed all are going to vote for Trump over Hillary, maybe even her own Husband.

The issue will be a choice between Hillary and Trump. Your speculation and that of Michael does not take into account the option of Hillary. IMO Reagan would never have supported Hillary and would have voted for Trump over her as that choice

I find it interesting how Hillary supporters ignore the lack of a positive Hillary record to divert to the politics of personal destruction as that is the only way they can win and IF Hillary wins the country loses.
 
Cruz and his likes were catering to the social Cons, the part of the GOP that are more worried about gay marriage than actually conservative issues like smaller government and being fiscally conservative. They talk about getting the government out of their lives, but the reality is they want just the opposite.. They, IMO, aren't real conservatives.

Obviously because of Trump's past views on social issues the social Cons should be very, very worried about Trump.

They ARE the real conservatives, which means traditional morals and small govt. They dont want govt to control peoples behavior, they want govt to stop encouraging what they see as immoral behavior, eroding families, work ethic, personal responsibility, and religious institutions like marriage. Ted Cruz constantly talked about this and small govt, tax reform, freer markets. But the media covered the controversial stuff like sexual equality. Tax reform is boring.
 
They dont want govt to control peoples behavior,

Actually they do. And IMO that's the problem. They worry way too much about social issues and controlling people's lives then they do about actually being a fiscal, small government conservative.

A perfect example is when they preach about cutting government spending and wanting smaller government 90% of those cuts are to parts of the government that deal with their social agenda like PP and the Dept. of Ed and social safety nets.

Not really the issue. He will not vote for Trump. He likely would not vote at all or he'd be looking for a third party candidate.

No, I don't think he would have and neither does his ultra conservative Son. It is actually quite likely that Ronald Reagan were he alive today would be considered a RINO at best, or it's possible he would have switched back to the Democratic party by now.

Although in fairness option 3 is that the Republican party might not be so bat **** insane if they had a reasonable standard barer that could redirect them.

Now that makes a lot of sense he is thinking like a liberal now . :lamo:lamo

The issue would be Hillary vs. Trump and my belief is Reagan would have voted for Trump but this is a moot issue. What we have here is a party, The Democrat Party of today, that will just try and destroy the opposition to divert from the Hillary performance.

Thats not controlling behavior, thats removing control.

What the left wants to ignore is the actual role of the Federal, State, and Local Governments and the reality that all social programs belong in the states where there are term limits and government closest to the people. It is the states that have to pay for problems created by social problems and it is social engineering by the Federal Govt. that buys votes and creates career politicians.
 
HAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!!!! Good lord the delusion of you people is astounding. A political party who is dedicated to tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires and unfettered acquisition of profit at all costs, while millions live in poverty. A party filled with people to cry about how they "want THEIR country back" when a black man wins the white house as if it some how belongs to white people and only white people. My god.....the world has never seen more greed and more entitlement than what has been fueling the republican party for the better part of three decades now. You're only lying to yourself.

I'm sure there are many people who would be excited to read confirmation their propaganda has been bought hook line and sinker by members of their target audience. The $100's of millions being spent by billionaires and millionaires to create the propaganda has certainly be effective when words like you've posted are written.

After spending trillions of dollars over the last 50 years, how has the liberal/socialist progressives war on poverty worked out? Has poverty been lowered? How have the millions living in poverty been helped by the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens liberal/socialist progressives are encouraging to cross the borders? How have citizens in Black Communities been helped by this massive illegal alien population? The list goes on and on, as does spending on the propaganda trying to hide all of it.

Perhaps you should reevaluate who is lying to themself.

Yes, and I would argue that the federal govt does have a role in protecting you from state govts restricting your rights, but at least at the local level, you have more of a choice to move to a state more to your liking. That a far cry from creating programs which encourage 'immoral' behavior, like say, gambling via lotteries.
 
LOL, as if JFK, FDR, or LBJ would vote for Hillary? They'd view her as a descendant of Stalin.
