“Reagan and Trump could be twins if born the same day. They both have same principles. America is lucky to have trump running.”

Definitely fraternal twins, not identical twins.

(PS: I was around when Reagan was running for President, and not a kid either. There are amazing parallels between the two, amazing! When I look at Donald Trump, I see one last chance for America, and we really don’t deserve it.)

I was also an adult in 1980, and the differences are many. The only thing they have in common is both were targets of their party establishments.

Reagan didn’t cry how everything was unfair and he was being cheated
Reagan would have never gotten into Twitter Wars with anyone who disagreed with him. Reagan would have never defended Nancy by posting an unflattering picture of Roslyn Carter
Reagan didn’t have a near 70% unfavorable rating with the public
Reagan knew and understood that he had to unite the party’s base before seeking the support of Dems and Indies. Trump and his backers believe the base can be replaced with the two groups
Reagan gad principles. Trump has “negotiable” positions which his supporters will find out if/ when get gets the nomination

Reagan was a likable gentleman who knew how to fight without alienating people outside his base of support.
