Trump isn't even close to Reagan. Trump isn't even a Republican.
Clinton is very close to Reagan, but Trump is more like a Molotov cocktail.
It's amazing that people (including the above two posters) could get that so completely wrong. And we'll be paying for this huge mistake for centuries. You got fooled, Mr. Legit. Very badly.
The alt-right and the Reagan right have Reaganomics in common. Trumponomics and Reaganomics have trickle-down, free market, libertarian economics in common. And especially where it hurts the most-- the environment we depend on for life, and the species we have no right to kill off, but are doing it. Hillary Clinton is poles apart from Reagan, but Trump is very much on the same team. Removing regulations will hurt the common man economically, very badly. Allow business to do what it wants, and we get hurt, very badly. Trump promises to remove two regulations for every one created. He is closing down the EPA, and other organizations that protect our health from bad products and working conditions. He is lowering taxes on the rich enormously, so they get even more wealth and power. This is the purest Reagan. Hillary would have done the opposite. And Hillary would have stopped the TPP too. And Trump isn't going to succeed in throwing out NAFTA.
If you can't see the target, you can't hit it. If you don't see that Trump is unleashing a war on the environment, and on the economic well-being of all of us, you can't see the target at all. Trump threw a molotov cocktail at the people, not the Establishment. He IS the Establishment; Hillary Clinton is NOT.
The enemy is entirely within. Internal Cold War. Thanks to people who mistook Clinton for Reagan, and voted in Trump, it's going to get much worse now. Let's hope it stays "cold," at least until Sessions starts shooting us down for speaking out. People who can't see what Assad did to his people, and blame it on the US, probably won't be able to see what Trump does to us. Living under a dictator is no fun. As Trump would say, "believe me!"
And a reminder, that Trump has no mandate. His margin in the swing states was small, and his losing margin in the country is still growing.
I'm no trump fan, as you've implied.
Clinton is pro tpp.
Hillary is no friend to the environment. Look at standing rock.
I have no horse in the race, I'm not interested in emotional appeals or BS.
No, Clinton repudiated and promised to disapprove the TPP. It's funny how people don't keep up with these things. It really costs us, when we end up with another dufus GOP president because we fail to do so.
Hillary's stated beliefs are those that get her elected. Her actual beliefs depend on who is writing the check.
