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

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

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.

President Trump hasn't taken office yet.

[Derpist]

Definitely Trump.

[Intell]

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.

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.

Reagan presided over a massive peacetime economic expansion, and contributed to the demise of international Communism. Trump would destroy the economy with his protectionism and crackpot monetary policy, and alienate practically every ally we have. Plus, Reagan's not a threat to basic democratic norms like free speech/press, which is really the no. 1 reason I'll do whatever it takes to stop Trump,  which means voting Clinton. It's pretty telling that so many lefties on this thread are saying Trump just because they agree with him slightly more on economic issues. I'm also going to take a wild guess that they're not the Hispanics Trump wants to deport or the Muslims he wants to spy on.

They're actually pretty similar in terms of intelligence level, and both fit the bill of fanning anti-intellectual flames among their constituency. Reagan had a far, far more pleasant and smooth tone to his messages though.

If Trump is actually as dumb as he looks and isn't faking he makes Reagan look like Stephen Hawking. I'm pretty sure Reagan didn't think that judges "sign" laws (that was actually his job) and didn't base his campaigns around juvenile personal attacks that aren't relevant to anything. Trump would've just made a crack about Gorbachev's birthmark instead of saying "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall"

Reagan would be AIDS, I assume?

Okay, I'll admit I laughed at that because I'm a terrible person.

[RR1997]

Donald Trump is terrible. Ronald Reagan was an above-average president. Easiest choice ever.

[SWE]

It'd be next to impossible for Trump to be as bad as Reagan, even if he was really trying. It's a huge bar to cross, and I doubt even Trunp could manage.

[Brewer]

Reagan was a scumbag, but Trump is Trump. There's no getting around it.

[Ljube]

Reagan, cause he would win this election easily and I can't say the same thing for Trump.

[Mr. Jew]

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

FTFY

[Maxwell]

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

[hopper]

Reagan definately.
