Ronald Reagan vs. Donald Trump

[Mr. Smith]

trump stands for good healthcare and is ballsy to just stop with the dogwhistling, and since he's a wildcard...he could end up being very effective and good as President, and he's likably unlikable.

Reagan used "State's rights" to get into office, effed up People's Park in the 60's, gutted mental healthcare and stood against rational healthcare, and he's an avatar to the most desrtuctive political ideology in the whole U.S.

So trump.

[Mr. Smith]

One was a race-baiting, anti-intellectual celebrity and the other is Donald Trump.

Well said.

[Mr. Smith]

This is way more close lopsided than it should be.  I'm still amazed that so many people don't seem to be able to see Trump Reagan for what he is.

FTFY

Ronald Reagan is a Top 3 President. Donald Trump is a rapist and a Nazi. Easiest vote ever.

Only if your timeframe is between 1969 and 2009.

Let's be nicer. Fixed.

He's still in the pits even with that time frame, you'd have to go back to Andrew Johnson or some pre Civil War president to get worse than the People's Park Butcher or Bush Jr.

What about Hoover and Harding? Those guys were terrible.

Hoover got the Hoover Damn project going, in some ways he started New Deal ideas, he just didn't push the envelope enough.

And Harding at least spoke out against lynching, and advocated for a sane work week, none of that "oooh, wheel, let market decide" bs.

Also both of their foreign policies were genuinely peace-oriented, and not bullying with arms peace mixed with a random invasion here and there that Reagan espoused.

[Mr. Smith]

I will again comment, with much amusement, that there are Democrats in this thread who are unironically praising Trump Reagan largely out of an inability to separate the means from the ends.
