As we have seen with all these little Federal judge-presidents ruling from the replica Oval Offices in their judge's chambers - the object is for a handful of judges to run the country.

I never heard it either.
I cannot see any constructive value in his comments about Ronald Reagan. Michael is right in his reaction. But he is also using this to display his anti-Trump feelings.
Every one of 'em are guessing, just like everyone else, yet most of 'em would have you believe that they have it all figured out.
It's all wishful thinking, but don't forget to pass that plate anyway.
God, please save us from those who aim to save us.
I wonder how many of today’s American patriots would have “liked” Thomas Jefferson or George Washington...? And what’s more: WHO CARES?!?
President Trump is the only recent President who could hold a candle to President Reagan. Comparing the two is not a bad thing... and I doubt that Pastor Jeffress meant any disrespect. The two were men from different times. At the time President Reagan got a divorce it was considered at least as shameful as what people consider men who have had affairs these days.
Really surprised at all the folks here supporting ardent #NEVERTRUMPER Michael Reagan....He made it very clear he would not vote for Trump...Prior to the election he even did a CNN segment on why his father would not have voted for Trump...he is as bad as George Will:

I agree with you that times have changed. I don’t think Jeffress meant any disrespect. When Reagan ran I remember commentary from the evangelical right regarding his divorce—in some faiths, it was considered very taboo...Maybe still is in some.
I like this first comment from the linked article:
Michael Reagan is a never Trumper who cashes in on his father’s name by being a “conservative” but in reality his politics are much closer to his siblings. He is probably about as conservative as Corker, Alexander, Haslam and Boyd. Which is to say he is a ruling class, status quo, cheap labor Republican. The fact that Matheny accepts an endorsement from a rabid anti-Trumper should be a red flag

Sorry you feel that way about all who have chosen or been chosen to the ministry.
You do realize you are painting with a rather broad brush (stereotyping)—just like left does...
You know...All Trump voters are this, all Trump voters are that...All preachers are this, all preachers are that...
Just sayin...
- Ronald Reagan was a man. He was not (not known as, at least) a womanizer. He cannot now defend himself from the charge, and to lay it today strikes me as a canard. A pastor peddling such should be ashamed. FULL STOP.
- Donald Trump ran the table in the primaries and defeated an odds-on favorite, the abominable Hillary Clinton, in the general election. Hillary would have continued the Obama policy of persecuting Christians, and would have turned the courts - including SCOTUS - against Christians and Christianity. Donald Trump has, and intends to, prevent that.
- Donald Trump’s history pretty much precludes his consideration by any legitimate Christian church for any position of leadership it its affairs. We know that, and we knew that before the election. If given a choice of Ronald Reagan or Donald Trump as Head of State, it would be Ronald Reagan hands down. Donald Trump, profiting from Reagan’s example (and, it has to be said, from some of Reagan’s mistakes) is excelling as Head of Government.
The conclusion of the matter is that Ronald Reagan is not an issue now, any more than Franklin Roosevelt or any earlier POTUS. Donald Trump is. And we can’t spare the man; he fights.
Trump is putting it all on the line against Turkey to save a Christian pastor.
END OF STORY
Tho far from perfect, I've learned to live with it, thanks.
Some things change but God’s Word never changes…… Matthew 19:9. Great presidents and common folk alike, we all have to stand in front of God and give an account of ourselves.
Very well said! YES, HE FIGHTS!
I thank God DJT is POTUS!
And I pray very day for his safety!
Whatever, you whiny lil....
You need a tissue and a hug?
Look, Mikey - if you don't get by now that the Lefties are trying to run the country with 5 Lefties on the Supreme Court being fed Lefty wish lists by the 500-odd Lefty Article III Federal judge-presidents, you need to sit down and shut up.
NOW, political naif.
We'll change your soggy diapers AFTER President Trump and the Deplorables curb-stomp the Lefties.
The Cheese-Eating Surrender Mikey weighs in...

Get over yourself, you NeverTrumper moron. (Not you, SeekAndFind)
Little Michael never misses an opportunity to bash Trump. I’m shocked at the number of freepers who are applauding Reagan’s Trump bashing tantrum.
Take a couple of Xanax and go to sleep, Mikey.
Great post.
It was extraordinary at the time (1976-80!) even to CONSIDER electing a divorcee who, it certainly appeared, had been conducting an extra-marital affair with Nancy while still married to Jane. Much less that he was supported by evangelicals. So, yes, he could have been considered if not a womanizer, certainly an adulterer. And we all loved him. So what?
Until now, Michael has been the sane one....getting bent because some heathen in religious robes makes a statement about his Dad is going off the rails.
