Well we saw what happened . Reagan won and within a few hours of his Inauguration the Iranians gave up the hostages . And within a year the Prime Rate which had been as high as 18% was greatly decreased and after his 8 years the economy was booming again and the world was a much safer place .
Hopefully Trump will pull this off and America will indeed be great again !

Completely different times now. First, of all Reagan had experience in government running the largest Democratic state. He knew that you have to work with the other party to get things done. He and Tip O'Neil were polar opposites, but worked together. Hell, after business hours they went out, and had drinks together. The parties are so far apart now, that getting together on anything is a bridge too far. If you think that Republicans are blameless for our current state, you really are living in another world.
Trump is pushing things on immigration, building a wall, and trade that will never get off the ground. Trump will not make America great again. He will make America despised worldwide. Trump is all noise, and no substance. I hope that is not the case, but it sure looks like it. Four years of listening to Hillary's armor piercing voice, is a high price to pay for Trump being Trump. We need a president. Not someone that got there by insulting everyone, and doesn't have a clue what to do, if he wins.
