The 1980 election was closer to WWII than we are to the 1980 election.

Joe Scarborough isn’t any different than any other talking head, he in it for himself and only himself.

If he can’t lay a bomb to go off on something, people won’t listen to him or they won’t go to his site.

He has no more respect for Donald Trump than the RNC or any one else that is hammering away at Trump.

What these people have not yet ‘gotten into their heads’ is that WE the American People are running this election, we no longer care about anyone trying to defeat ‘our candidate’ because we don’t need their lies, their ‘game’ as they call it.

So take your toys and playbooks that you have used for years and years and go home...WE have a NEW playbook, and toys and we don’t need you in ‘OUR GAME’ your done, over, non important to us...

Joe probably did at one point or another.

That’s why she turned up dead.

You are so right.

Last time I felt proud to be a Republican was the
“Contract with America”

We need another one of those. We have let the Neocons and “Free Traders” take over this party. Its no wonder that we lose; our patriotic base and their children sent to unending wars and the oligarchs make sure they don’t have a job when they return from battle.

No wonder those under 30 are rooting for Bernie Sanders.

I’ve got news for jokin’ Joe if he thinks this is Reagan’s Republican Party.

Reagan would cringe if he could see 20% of the stuff going on right now.

Trump will be returning the Republican Party to the Reagan mold, not moving away from it.

Good grief, does anyone pay attention to what Trump is actually advocating? Do they remember that Reagan pushed for many of the same things?

I see little evidence of it from far too many people.

The party abandoned Reagan a long time ago... Reagan himself ensured the coalition he built would not last when turned the reigns he fought so hard to win back over to the establishment via G. W. Bush.

Trump is no Reagan to be sure, but he’s building a coalition that can and will win for decades if the power brokers are willing to give up their power and actually represent the people instead of their stalwarts.

Well done.

[John Kasich should have won nearby Michigan]

He couldn’t even manage 2nd place. It went to Ted Cruz.

Trump is also the second coming of Pat Buchanan who I always liked just so long as you mentally excluded what he had/has to say about Israel and Israel/USA vs Mohammedanism.

But seriously I always liked Pat and The Donald is the return of Pat

All I can say is RWR’s party is long gone. The GOPe core can go straight to hell.

Just a few days before her death, Nancy Reagan endorsed Trump.

There is no evidence that this happened.

Reagan's mistake was his VP.

After a quick glance at the review mirror, it looks like it was the Bush Family who crushed the Reagan revolution, and then remade the party in their own image once Reagan left the building.

Trump caps night of wins with victory in Hawaii caucuses

HONOLULU -— Donald Trump has won the Hawaii Republican presidential caucuses, claiming the last prize in a night of victories for the Republican front-runner.

Wind, rain and long lines didn’t keep the state’s passionate voters from the polls to decide how the Republican presidential candidates would split the state’s 19 delegate votes.

“Our votes here might be a small vote, but nevertheless, we’re here to do our duty,” said Al Carvalho, 49, who co-owns a contracting business with his wife. “I’m voting for Donald Trump because I’m tired of the career politicians, and I’m willing to give somebody else a chance.”

Trump took to Twitter to note his night-capper:

I have lived in both states. Being from Ohio is a REAL handicap for a candidate running in Michigan (and vice-versa). That may sound stupid and shallow, but the enmity is definitely there. They did after all fight a shooting war in 1835.

Joe is ALWAYS confused...he is singularly the most conflicted person on the cables.

While the DC political class has been kicked in the nuts they are NOT Reagans party. Bush and Rockefeller have dominated since the 60s. Reagan went around them and made them as mad as hornets.

I have to differ with the QVC part. Trump wasn’t selling a thing. It was his way of countering all the negative ads and Romney and he needed to do it. Rather than running millions of dollars in advertising, he calls a news conference and shows off his wares.
