People that say Donald Trump is a contemporary Ronald Reagan are way off the mark. Political experts rightly describe Ronald Reagan as an extraordinary charismatic leader, as someone who was an adult during Ronald Reagan Presidency I would be more specific and say he was an extraordinary likeable guy even if you political disagreed with the guy after hearing him speak you would be like he is great I love this guy! Ronald Reagan always publicly spoke on a "good neighbor plane" so to speak Donald Trump operates on the tough businessman plane where he'll kick your butt if you get in his way. Donald Trump won't succeed that well in Washington because there is a lot of people like Donald Trump in Washington albeit more polished, Donald Trump will bring a continuation of gridlock or bad policies in the country!
The times have passed for a Ronald Reagan to save the country. Ronald Reagan's panacea for the country was lower taxes and go on a government spending spree to revive the country's economy. This will no longer work from a spending spree standpoint because the country has a crisis national debt and with respect to lower taxes that will help but the colossal problem related to that is that America has dramatically lost is manufacturing and commodity production prowess do to globalization or free trade and so lower taxes will create foreign jobs but not as many as are needed middle class domestic jobs. Ronald Reagan offered trickle down economics the jury is in on this economic policy and it doesn't work not enough trickles down to ordinary Americans.
All this hullabaloo and idolization of Donald Trump by Republicans makes me think of the movie "The Poseidan Adventure" when the ship is upside down and sinking and vast majority of the passengers and crew are trying to get to the deck of the ship, the Trump supporters are like these people and they in the general election are going to end up like this majority in the movie, all drowned!
