    A note about today’s column: If you’re trying to gauge how bad the Trump presidency is, listening to people who “also hated Reagan” doesn’t make for a very good control group. A better benchmark is to listen to people who loved Reagan but dislike Trump. That’s my value added.

        Can you remind me what was conservative about the Iraq war (noting promises that this democracy blitzkrieg would be welcomed by grateful locals) and the bailing out of the banks as if they were Gosbank? Where do I find that in the works of Russell Kirk and William F. Buckley?

        Was Reagan behind that? I must have missed that in history class.

        Reagan was a great man. But zombie Reaganism has helped no one. And the Bush 43 years were a disaster. Here we all are now

        I voted for Reagan. That's how I learned trickle down economics never works for average people.

        Matt Lewis never ceases to show how truly out-of-touch he is with the GOP base & the general electorate. Republicans were convinced their base has to be with them (bc they vote them into office). They were wrong. (HT @bdomenech)http://thefederalist.com/2017/09/07/trumps-potential-triangulation/ …

        What is funny about these Reagan comparisons is most of these never Trumpers were for first Ford in 76 and then Bush in 1980. They now act like they always supported conservatism when they actually were for big government.

        Reagan, who let tens of thousands of gay men die because he refused call AIDS an epidemic, his administration created the lie of the welfare queen, who spend billions on wasteful military spending - yeah I don’t like the guy-not to mention arms for hostages. #reagantrumpsucks

        Contradicting in things seemingly alike is what gives a true vision of how they're very different in core..

        What Reagan did you perceive? Yes, Trump is miles worse from anyone who’s gone before, but to admire Reagan? I was active in getting an AIDS / HIV response during his presidency. He was HEARTLESS and prejudiced.
