That is odd. I see a lot more similarities with the coalition that put Reagan into office and the Trump supporters. Both were outsiders that didn't act like the establishment wanted. (Remember all the Cowboy Reagan was leading us to nuclear war blabber) Both believed lower taxes would increase economic growth. Both made concessions on immigration policy to try to regain control of the border. (Reagan amnesty/Trump offering Pelosi concessions on dreamers) Both faced dissension from within their own party and both had a unique relationship with the press. Remember Sam Donalson? The only real difference I see is that Reagan was a likeable figure and Trump is obnoxious.Reagan was the first Pres I voted for in 1980 and the reason I started following politics.
He would roll over in his grave if he saw what the MAGA wing has done to today's Rep party.
