I found it ominous that Donald Trump praised brutal dictators instead of the likes of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher.
Spot on.
Another thing that galls me are GOPers who have nothing in common with Trump but are silent about it. Some even try to whistle past the graveyard, telling themselves that Trump will change things in a similar manner as Reagan. They so want their Reagan reincarnated, they are willing to embrace a huckster. See the part in my tagline about false Christs.
Whoops! I forgot to include Bible-believing Christians.
