paul ryan just compared trump to ronald reagan......

[spanone]

but.....i don't remember reagan winning the presidency with the help of the russians.

[titaniumsalute]

1. No that was the Iranians

[spanone]

3. correct, he hated the russians but worked with the iranians on the hostage release

[Achilleaze]

14. Yet another republican piss on America & American security

deplorable

[Blanks]

2. They were both TV celebrities...

And shitty presidents.

[yeoman6987]

4. Reagan was governor of a large state for 8 years. No comparison

[ck4829]

5. I think it's an apt comparison

Reagan sold guns to the Iranian government and gave the money to death squads in Central America.

And Trump gave enough propaganda to Daesh to last them a century. I don't even think they need a PR arm anymore.

[2naSalit]

13. Seems like he may have also

been assisting in funding them too with the money laundering.

[MineralMan]

6. Both were puppets, but with different groups working the strings.

In that sense, they are similar. But, they had different puppeteers.

[LovingA2andMI]

7. Paul Ryan Is A Vapid....

Piece of S**T. That's It, That's All.

[elfin]

8. The suck up language to Trump is dry heaves inducing

Wish I had changed the channel upon seeing Ryan do his Eddie Haskell routine.

He is tying himself to the Dumpster in a bigly way.

[lpbk2713]

9. Ryan didn't have a high opinion of Trump six months ago.

Ryan is flip flopping for convenience.

[spanone]

12. he hated trump....ryan on trump

“I am not going to defend Donald Trump—not now, not in the future,” Ryan said. “I’m not going to be campaigning with him for the next 30 days.”

[spanone]

10. ryan was asked about the 'wiretapping' and said 'we've cleared that up'...bwahahahahaaaa

referring to adam schiff and nunes both agreeing there was nothing there....

he's whistling past the graveyard....trump has doubled/tripled down

[Tracer]

11. Well, Reagan had some mental problems (Alzheimers)

Not saying that the jackass has Alzheimers, but he surely does have some mental issues.

[TheBlackAdder]

15. By highlighting their ADULTERY or the fact that they are both OUT OF THEIR FUCKING MINDS?

[democrank]

16. If you look up the word weasel in a dictionary

you`ll find a drawing of Paul Ryan.

[TheBlackAdder]

17. Oh, it's a baseball analogy with regards to Russia. REAGAN WAS THE PITCHER, TRUMP IS THE CATCHER!

[Tanuki]

18. Reagan's sons, both the liberal Ron Jr. and the conservative Michael,

hate Trump and find comparisons false and offensive.

http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/09/reagan-sons-interview-donald-trump-213149
Ron Jr.: "I can’t think of two people who are more diametrically opposed. This egotistical, narcissistic guy with the weird comb over swanning in his private plane. … I mean, look in the mirror, fat boy. Look at that hair, you’re ridiculous! Where do you get off talking on anybody’s appearance? It’s just so unchivalrous. My father would recoil at that sort of thing."

Michael: "It’s interesting to see how many of them … recreate my father in their image and likeness instead of his,” he says. “Ronald Reagan would never take 11 million people or three million people or a million people and throw them out of the United States of America.”

[WhiteTara]

19. Raygun won by colluding with the Iranians

and ran an illegal war in Central and South America and we are still seeing the effects of all of that today in the refugee influx from the south.

Trump is just more evil than even Raygun, that's all.

[lame54]

20. Mr. Gorbachev tear down those firewalls

[spanone]

21. 👍🏼

[Cosmocat]

23. lol

[uponit7771]

22. Yeah, they both won by cheating

[moondust]

24. The Russians did help him.

But not as a partner in corruption or a boss.

The old Cold War enemy allowed Reagan to play the big tough-on-communism Marlboro Man (and blow the roof off the deficits/debt with MIC spending--debt that later got dumped on Bill Clinton). Trump is also an irresponsible, ignorant, B-grade actor who likes to play the role of big tough guy for his fans so yes, they do have some ugly similarities.



Oh yes, and they both have done/are doing everything they can to make rich people much richer.

[FSogol]

25. Good comparison. They were both scum who hurt this country. Reagan was slighlty more composed.

No other difference.

[democratisphere]

26. A form of republiCON ass kissing.

[LOL Lib]

27. Paul Ryan is a low life weasel.

He thinks he is a master at playing both sides and walking the line. I believe he hates Trump, but is too cowardly to stand up to him. I can't stand a spineless rat. I hope Trump destroys Lyin' Ryan's career.
