If Reagan had the balls Trump had, would we be where we are today?

All of us binary people love Reagan, but he should have dealt with immigration properly. Dems will always expect amnesty moving forward.

Trusting Tip O'Neal to keep his word on immigration was Reagan's biggest mistake.

Well, Trump has put his faith in future Congresses to enact budget cuts so... I guess it's different this time?

Backwards. Reagan actually vetoed Congressional spending. Trump encourages it.

Reagan confronted a nuclear superpower and backed them down. Trump has shown plenty of gumption; so did Reagan.

Facts aren't melting. But I understand you can only talk about people. Not policies.

They shot him and neutered his presidency by keeping him on pain pills.

I was talking about policy. Perhaps the RIF truck didn’t make it to your hood?

This thread was about mass amnesty.

But you couldn’t melt over that. So you changed it to spending.

Start your own spending thread.

Did you agree with mass amnesty?

Are we better off today by kicking the can down the road?

Trump is saying he’s going to exempt farm and hospitality workers so I don’t really see how he’s much different than Reagan. It’s still amnesty even if you spin it as a work program

If Reagan had both house and senate what could he have done? He did what he accomplished in spite of Dems having both.

Excuse me?

Reagan had plenty of balls, much more than sackless pieces of shite like you have.

Reagan was, despite the claims of being an outsider, trying to work within the system.

And sadly, like Trump, Reagan trusted that "the system" would honor it's deal and abide by what the PRESIDENT wanted.

The Deep State chose differently.

Dumb comment

If Reagan inherited this situation we have today he would have handled it much differently.

You're behind. He'd be villified as a "conservative" like Massie is. MAGA loves RINOs now. I know it's hard to keep up.

Instead of arguing with a geek, I changed the assertion to recognize your weakness in the OP.
