Not even close but keep trying; Rubio is a globalist patsy..
So I'm insulting myself? Also, how is that an insult to the military?

Comparing people exercising their 2nd amendment rights to actual terrorists is an insult to the folks who served and died to protect your rights to say stupid shi$$.
Can't help it if you're so blinded by hate you can't see that.

Reagan was a neocon, Reagan understood the future and wanted the US to lead the world into globalization....many see Reagan's policies towards free trade as instrumental in starting the globalization of the worlds economy.
Rubio is a solid conservative and leader, if you think Rubio is a globalist patsy then you most definitely would not have supported Ronald Reagan in this day and time.
Lol you think I'm blinded by hate? Okay buddy. I fought for my own rights, thank you very much, and I'm not insulted by the stupid things you say, mainly just saddened.
So after seeing the results of globalization NAFTA specifically, you still think that's in Americas best interest? If so that explains it all. I used to think like a "good" conservative too.

There will never be anyone like Reagan in politics. Every single one in politics today on both sides are all clowns and only care about themselves. I don’t see it getting any better going forward because they all sale their souls to just get elected. You don’t like Trump. Just wait if Biden wins.

Then feel free to exercise them as you are; doesn't mean I have to agree with you which obviously I don't and you're still insulting the vast majority of folks who served and died or were forever maimed by comparing American's lawfully and peacefully exercising their 2nd amendment rights to actual terrorists who you say you fought which makes it even more incredible you'd insult yourself too.
Happy days...

Well there are two ways forward either with the world or without.....we can either lead from the front and try to shape the future global based economy on our model or we can step back and let Europe or China do it, Reagan understood that. This is not about winning or being the "best" this is way more important, its about taking the vision the founders of this nation had and showing the world why that vision is the one we should all try to achieve.
As for trade agreements, the entire way the US looks at trade deficits is wrong and short sighted....nor does it accurately capture the actual deficits we run with other countries.

Revisionist history going on to claim Reagan was a neocon; he wasn't. But the neocons are trying real hard to claim him.. And you don't know he wanted to lead the world into globalization; another attempt to pull his coattails and it's b.s. Guarantee if he saw today what "globalization" has done to this country he'd be one of the loudest and strongest voices saying America needs to be less reliant on these other countries; especially the new "Evil Empire" which is China.
At times he employed strong rhetoric which could be taken as neocon rhetoric but his actions (which always speak louder than words) weren't as a neocon.
Arms control; minimalist intervention; his foreign policy was one of realism and restraint. He wanted America to be a city on a shining hill and the references to God and our foundations were unmistakable and we see where we're at now; it's not a good place.
If we have walls we'll have open doors; the doors are open for those who want to follow the laws and the process to become American's; Reagan wasn't for it to be done illegally which is why he referenced Ellis Island so many times; those folks followed the process and the laws of the day.
Rubio wasn't the guy 4 years ago and probably won't be the guy in the future..
If Reagan was in today's world we wouldn't have had a Trump who was needed to shake up the status quo and the Republican b.s. of nominating the "heir apparent." That got us McCain which got us Obama which has put us in a precarious place and further accelerated the un-civil discourse encouraged by the lame media.
In reality there are two America's now and they're so very different in their core beliefs it's not even funny.

I agree with distancing which I see most doing that here on out. Distancing can be done while still opening up economy.Majority says keep distancing

Incompetence played a key role on the bungled testing by the CDC. Apparently nobody was behind the wheel. An utter failure by this administration.

He did want America to be the shining light on the hill, leading the WORLD forward, Reagan wanted the US to be a example for the rest of the world to follow.....
Reagan was for immigration reform to make it easy for people to come to the US to work.....anyone saying stuff like this clip below in the GOP nowadays would haver ZERO chance of winning the nomination...
The only way forward is compromise, the my way or the highway approach of the far left and right is the reason we are where we are, its not McCains or other moderates fault its the progressives and Tea Parties fault things are where they are....if we stopped sending these people to DC then things woud get done, you might not like some of it and neither will the lefties but at the end of the day the country would be better off for it.
It was just a different time, totally different problems, and no sanctuary cities.

If you actually listened to what he said it was common sense; work permits; pay taxes; work out our problems.
Not just jump the border, come across legally; we wouldn't need a wall if people actually obeyed the law and it was enforced properly.
Completely different than what you're trying to represent and it would work today and would be a winning theme in the Republican party.
There is NO WAY Reagan would've wanted the current situation and he would've skewered the Democrats as only he could.
Thanks for setting the record straight on this.
Reagan was so much different from Trump and this clip illustrates it quite well. Whereas Trump is always encouraging divisiveness by being at war verbally with half of the US, Reagan, who had equally as strong a message, lead with a much more positive tone without denigrating others. He was actually good friends with liberal Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill for those who don't know it. Trump constantly is picking a fight and is not taking the blame for anything. He calls others juvenile nicknames. That's his cheap way of trying to look superior to others. Reagan wasn't like this. He treated others with respect.
Reagan wasn't a jackass. Trump is a jackass. Maybe some of his supporters are, too, and thus they like him being that way as to them it is normal behavior? I wonder about this.

And if anybody wants to go down the road of the Amnesty Law Reagan signed; yep he did it and it was a compromise; unfortunately he was the only one who compromised. A couple of the most critical parts of the law, which wound up basically completely unenforced because Congress sucked then and still sucks, was strong employer sanctions and securing the border; neither of which happened.
He was appalled and rightfully so by employers who paid the illegals crap; kept them in rundown housing if you could even call it that, and the employers knew the illegals wouldn't say anything because they were still at least making some money. A complete travesty and goes against any moral code but of course we all know there's not much of a moral code anymore. He wanted folks legal so they could earn a better wage and have their rights protected but without enforcement and penalties all it did was open the door to even more illegals.
Business' have no interest in hiring legal workers for decent wages when they can take full advantage of illegals who'll work their butts off for next to nothing because it's more than they can make in Mexico or Central America.
Democrats have no interest in helping solve the problem because eventually they'll get one of their biggest wishes; a huge voting bloc (they think) by legalizing the 12-15 million (or more) illegals.
Guarantee Reagan would secure the border these days and would be appalled at how things turned out.
