Discovered Trump Picture Will Change Everything You Thought You Knew [It’s Going Viral] VIDEO

First, Republicans tried calling Donald Trump too conservative. When that didn’t work, they started calling him too liberal.

The fact that Trump occasionally donated to Democrats (usually Democrats who could help him get real estate built in New York, mind you) has caused many of his rivals to accuse Trump of being a lefty, ridiculous as that may sound.

Yes, that’s Trump, posing with the greatest Republican president since Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan. And Reagan was certainly no lefty or RINO.

If that’s not enough, here’s video of Trump praising Reagan during an interview on Fox News:

Need some more? President Reagan’s own son, Michael Reagan, says that Trump reminds him of his dad in many ways.

“I want to see, and America wants to see, that campaign that says, ‘You know something, this is where I want to take America. I am passionate about it. These are my issues. This is what I want to do,'” Michael Reagan said in an interview on Newsmax TV.

“That’s why America right now has surrounded Trump, in this case, because he’s off the cuff and he speaks from his own passion.”

Even Sarah Palin has come out and talked about the similarities between Trump and Reagan in a column for Breitbart.

“Shouts of, ‘But he donated to Democrats!’ won’t sway Trump enthusiasts,” Palin wrote. “The man built a skyscraper in New York City – of course, he had donated to Democrats. If he was building it in Salt Lake City, I’m sure he would have donated to Republicans.

“‘But he changed his mind on positions!’ Reagan had been an FDR Democrat,” she continued. “Should we hold that against him or be grateful he saw the light?”

It didn’t work when Trump’s GOP primary opponents called him too conservative. And, from the way things sound, it won’t work when they call him too liberal, either.

Maybe it’s time for the Republicans to start listening to Trump instead of blindly bashing him. Perhaps, for once, they’ll understand what conservatives actually want from our leaders.

Actually I was quite young (he was governor then) and probably not considered much of a threat.

At the time I posted, I was just being a Smart Aleck; after all, I was in the mode of ridiculing the idea that a pic from a photo-op taken long ago has anything to do with reality. [A position, apparently to the chagrin of the Trumpbots, that I maintain. I have no informed opinion about The Donald. I'm waiting for the debates and for opinions from all of the candidates except Lindsey Graham and Crispy Creme on a variety of issues.]

However, as the mind tends to organize random bits of information into a coherent whole, I am now deeply suspicious of you.

Consider:

Reagan was ultimately responsible for the downfall of the Soviet Union.
'Ivan,' a Russian name, is often rendered in English as 'John.'
One of the bones of contention in CrazyJohn[Hinckley]'s more liberal out-patient arrangement involve restrictions on his access to certain web pages the DOJ says he has been frequenting. Is FR one?
Your sign up date is later than mine. In the tradition required on FR in any Presidential campaign season, this makes me automatically distrustful of you.
You describe yourself as an "avid shooter."

The attempt on President Reagan's life was made on my birthday; I need to work that fact into my theory but as yet have no idea how. It's still early on a Saturday night -- at least for me. But I imagine many of these issues will begin to resolve themselves more clearly once I start drinking.

In the mean time... what are you feelings about Jodie Foster?
