I met Reagan once.... Cruz is no Reagan
Cruz is more acerbic. Reagan had the optimism and that halo covered a middling politics.
Trump is trying to do optimism but his grouchy tweets tend to put a damper on this.
RE: I met Reagan once.... Cruz is no Reagan
I met both once. Both have similarities.
Nope
Have you met Cruz?
They are not the same people obviously but their comittment to conservative ideals is quite similar.
Even people who didn’t agree with Reagan liked the man. With Cruz it’s the opposite, even people who might agree with him find him unlikable.
And you are no longer are a Freeper....LMAO
I met Trump once. He reminded me of Robin Leach with a different accent.
Cruz is the margarine version of Reagan
Cruz has an awful ad using kids to bash Trump
If this guy represents Christian ethics there needs to be a reformation.
Ted Millhouse Cruz is SLIMEY. What has he accomplished in the Senate?
Rush, I listened to you for over 20 years, NO LONGER YOU ARE UNMASKED. Rush said Amnesty Pimp Rubio is a conservative HA?
Cruz is all over the place on Amnesty, just look at the Bret Bair interview where Cruz could square his actions with his rhetoric on Amnesty.
To paraphrase gladiator: YOU know Reagan?! No, he only touched me on the shoulder.
But I can’t help being a little jealous...
Cruz is a lot closer to Reagan than that spoiled brat cry baby Trump who keeps sucking up to KGB/FSB Putin.
Ronald Reagan: "Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall!
Donald Trump: Vladimir Putin's praise is 'a great honor'...It is always a great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly respected within his own country and beyond ,"

Trump: Well, I think our country does plenty of killing also, Joe, so, you know. There's a lot of stupidity going on in the world right now, Joe. Lot of killing going on, a lot of stupidity, and that's the way it is.

"50 years is enough," Trump said in an interview with the Daily Caller published Tuesday, referring to Obama's decision to re-establish U.S. ties with Cuba.
"I think it's fine. I think it's fine, but we should have made a better deal," Trump added. "The concept of opening with Cuba is fine."

Here's Trump giving his support to the traitor-in-chief on his worldwide apology tour...
TRUMP [on the Larry King Show (2009), referring to the then newly elected communist president (Obama)]: "Well, I really like him. I think that he's working very hard. He's trying to rebuild our reputation throughout the world. I mean, we really have lost a lot of reputation in the world. The previous administration [GW Bush] was a total disaster, a total catastrophe."
And I'm not saying I agree with everything he's doing. I do agree with what they're doing with the banks. Whether they FUND THEM or NATIONALIZE them, it doesn't matter, but you have to keep the banks going."
