Your advice would be more suitable for someone like Obama. 

Trump still has room to grow if he plays his cards right.

Demanding that Gorbachev to "tear down this wall" after joking about nuking his country does seem to be very chummy to me.  And then there the very poor relationship between their wives.  I'm sure Ron got an earful about Raisa.

Obama did what I suggested. Moving a notch toward universal health care is something Democrats have had one their bucket list since the 1940's. 

Not if he antagonizes Republicans.  Republicans have had an antipathy towards the Russkies since before I was born.  It's not all going to evaporate simply because a guy they initially opposed wants it to.

True, we don't trust/think that highly of the Russians and we view them as more of an adversary than a friend. How many times have you taken a position on something that happened during the Reagan years that I associated as being favorable to a Russian or advance of communism in general at that time? I'm not exactly sure what you think you have to gain from always placing yourself on the wrong side of American history or America in general. I won't pledge allegiance to a foreign flag and bow down and accept a watered down/weakened version that you might view as being favorable to you therefore agreeable to those you have the most influence over. How large was the American population during the 1940's? How large was the average American family during the 40's? How easy was it for people to get here during the 40's? What was our role as a world leader/super power during the 1940's? Would you agree that lots of stuff has changed with the world and with America since the 1940's? I'm sure Ron was good at ignoring Nancy's petty qualms with Gorby's wife while seeming interested in and supportive of her views.
