He should. Not about to change.

I have to wonder do right wingers watch this stuff and touch themselves? Clearly Ted Cruz isn't in Ronnie's league. Not in a million years.

none of the current crop can touch Reagan, the republicans lost a lot when he left the WH, and they were left with bob dole
 
Re: Rush Limbaugh's comments on the candidates -- Opinions from Trump supporters wan

Ted Cruz is the closest living thing to Ronald Reagan we're ever gonna have in our lifetimes. I don't know what more I can say about Ted Cruz. I also like Marco Rubio, in comparison to other options and choices. People get mad at me for that... There isn't perfection in a candidate.

I'd like to know how Trump supporters feel about his words. Do you agree with him or do you think Trump is closer to being like Reagan?

Was Reagan a Fundamentalist Christian? I don't remember him near as verbose as Cruz is about religion.

My biggest issue with Ronnie was how his actions led to the mentally ill being set free. It spiked the homeless problem big time,

Not until after the attempt on his life--at which point he believed in divine intervention.
Even Goldwater got sick of Reagan and the Religious Right.

Reagan choosing "Voodoo" Bush-41 should tell us that both VP candidates are on the two stages.
I now lean to Trump choosing Rubio .

I noticed this has become the fad for liberals to say. The desire to bash Reagan has led liberals to advocate oppression for millions of people.

Deinstituonalization needed to happen. What Reagan and a lot of conservatives failed to do, however, was actually build up the community infrastructure that was needed. It's what we are still fighting for to this day and the ADA is a big weapon to that end.

So please don't say having us "set free" was a bad thing.

None of them is "like" Reagan. Not Trump, not Cruz, not Rubio. Cruz isn't the closest, that would be Trump. He's right about that last though, "There isn't perfection in a candidate". That's always been true, all candidates, every party.

Trump is closest to Reagan?

I believe Rushbro said today that Trump was to the left of Michael Moore . :lamo

Ah...guess I didn't pay attention to Reagan's divine intervention. I do remember Reagan pandering to the "religious right". But Reagan was an actor. And he did a lot of acting in the White House. :lol:

Jerry Falwell, the moral majority, yadda, yadda, yadda. They tried like hell to turn us into some kind of evangelical theocracy. Despite the voters being a bit lacking in education in civics/government, they didn't buy into the Moral Majorities bull****. Thanks goodness.

How is Trump similar to Reagan?

Yes, of the three mentioned Trump is indeed the closest to Reagan. Reagan was fairly liberal in his early years. Remember this guy was the toast of Hollywood. President of the Screen Actor's Guild. In fact, his tenure was marked by his excellent negotiation skills.

Add to this that any conservative icon of the past would generally be considered liberal to moderate today. Conservative meant something different, usually having to do with economics and defense and not as much emphasis on the social stuff.

Both actors?

Off Topic...

I do like your new avatar, Josie.

I noticed this has become the fad for liberals to say. The desire to bash Reagan has led liberals to advocate oppression for millions of people..

Let's polish that turd shall we? I have had more than my share of experience with mental illness. By a stroke of luck I was spared the ravages of Huntington's disease. I have three siblings currently in memory care from it (it's genetic and it's a wicked disease), a 4th passed from dementia. Some people are simply unsafe on the streets. So spare me the "Oppression" canard. Sure there indeed were some that could and did function after their release. But countless others suffered immensely. To suggest otherwise is disingenuous or just plain naive at best.

Deinstituonalization needed to happen.

Ahh no. St. Ronnie screwed the pooch on this deal. It's well documented. Approximately 500,000 mentally ill patients were released as a result. So no, the floodgates should have remained closed.

What Reagan and a lot of conservatives failed to do, however, was actually build up the community infrastructure that was needed.

As if they gave a flying ****.

It's what we are still fighting for to this day and the ADA is a big weapon to that end.

Yes ADA was and is a good thing.

So please don't say having us "set free" was a bad thing.

Honestly, if in fact you were incarcerated, then you of all people should know many who couldn't and didn't cut it on the outside. Glad for you that your life is better. But we both know you're incapable of speaking for those who couldn't cut, of which there thousands upon thousands.

State and federal.


this is not hostile to you, but explain how the executive of the constitution does what you said he did, since the executive must follow the laws made by congress.
