Didn't know it until today that Trump dissed Reagan, as they said back then, as an empty smile and big talker who couldn't deliver.
Carter had guts and balls!
His pattern is consistent. Profess admiration for liberal Democrats, diss Conservative Republicans.
The question today is, does this passage from Trump more aptly describe himself than Reagan?
28 years..., and that’s not ever a record.
LOL
If this guy gets elected he’ll immediately run to his Democrat buddies.
Reagan did give us the first amnesty, after 30 years I see what that has done to America, so I’m no longer such a fan.
Trump is a lifelong New York liberal. I don’t know how he has been able to easily fool so many conservatives.
This is a very old line... been tossed out. Your assessment is, of course, quite wrong. You got anything else that hasn’t been posted a half dozen times?
This is it! Trump’s poll numbers will nosedive now, I tell ya!
Cruz tried to undermine Jeff Sessions when Jeff Sessions was at the peak of his powers.
Trump questioned Reagan after he was at the peak of his powers.
Im pretty sure Cruz bud Larry Pratt from Gun Owners of America said Reagan was senile or something along those lines not in a nice way.
What's the matter with you?
It's not like he's friends with Pelosi, Reid, McConnell and Hillary!
Troublemaker...
The real Don comes out.
The important question is this. How would Reagan and Carter, and any of the candidates running for president today, including Trump, have answered if somebody asked them what the Constitutions Section 8 of Article I is?
Not to get in the rush to defend Carter, but if you were around in the 70s, it was a different era and at the beginning, Carter talked and walked a pretty good game. He kinda fit the context of the times and didn’t seem like such a dope until later, when he became a national joke. But in fairness, the same kind of love-hate transition happened to Bush the Younger.
Trump is correct. I think honesty is hard for some people accept. Reagan fail to deliver on a lot of things e.g Shrinking the government and reducing debt
Hey Donald, I would like you to donate $80k for my new Corvette Stingray z51, a fire breathing dragon. ;>)
Thanks in advance, I’ll be standing out by the mailbox. Please hurry, it’s cold out here.
Carter hated/hates Israel, gave away the Panama Canal to China and was responsible for the Mariel boat lift bringing criminals from Cuba where Fidel emptied his prisons and sent them over. There’s a couple of more things but that should suffice for now.
I also don't see the analysis he's doing here. Carter didn't have guts, but was instead a gutless moral reprobate. Reagan on the other hand, for all of his flaws, showed guts against the Soviets, and proves that it was the right approach just a couple of years after this was written.
Oh my. Explains why Carter supports trump!!!
“I never saw this posted.”
The headline doesn’t even remotely match the damn passage.
He said Carter had guys asking him for millions for his library.
“The answer is that as poorly qualified as he was for the job, Jimmy Carter had the nerve, the guts, the balls, to ask for something extraordinary. That ability above all helped him get elected president. But then, of course, the American people caught on pretty quickly that Carter couldn’t do the job, and he lost in a landslide when he ran for reelection”
The part about Reagan also didn’t match the headline.
This was back in the days when Trump was a Democrat. That was when being a Democrat was a good thing. Can you trust anybody who a Republican when Trump was a Democrat. There probably is only one person who was a Democrat when that was the right thing, then a Republican, then an Independent, then back to a Democrat and then back to a Republican. Donald used deals from Mayor Abraham Beame for tax abatement and condemnation to do the deal with the big banks to do the Hyatt Hotel deal, which is how he got started, back when that was a good thing.
