RR lost the primary his first round.
Governor DeSantis, with his courage, conviction, ability to think before acting and (save for some justified defensive comments) absence of nasty insults to other GOPers (meaning tact, diplomacy, and acting presidential) is more like President Ronald Reagan than any GOPer since Reagan. And Mister Trump (with foolish whoppers such as he can end the Ukraine war in 24 hours, but won’t say just how), is the least like President Ronald Reagan.
You just described every left wing nut job shooter.
I highly doubt he acted alone.
You’re right to say that Trump feeds their hatred by arguing back more than the Bushes and Reagan. But I’m telling you that even without Trump the overall trend anyway is the media becoming more and more vile with each Republican president. Whoever the next one is can’t escape that.

Yep,
The hate campaign against Republicans just keeps getting worse no matter the candidates.
So DeSantis is looking at losing a couple of Republican primaries, just like Reagan.
“Works for me.”
Keep in mind Trump is from New York—if you adjust for that, the “whoppers” are forceful ways of saying that he’d really like to do something if he could and maybe he can.
I don’t like New York, but you need to adjust for culture when you are listening.
Full swamp rats simply say whatever they think you want to hear. Trump isn’t quite that bad, and I don’t think he will go full swamp rat, which makes him better than anyone since Reagan.
“...but [DeSantis] is not hateable, like Trump.
And just who is it that hates Trump? 24/7???
Should that not make Trump more likeable to Americans who want to continue their nation???
Hahahahahahahaha ,cough, gag, cough, hahahahaahahahahaha
Now that is funny.
There is/was only ONE Reagan——
JUST LIKE THERE IS ONLY ONE “MAGNUM”.
I hope DeSantis trots this line out when he debates Trump. Would be a great opportunity for Trump to say “I knew President Ronald Reagan, and you, sir, are no Ronald Reagan.”
I think you are correct; it’s a different world today. I always found Ben Carson to be really strange and quite often veering into creepy territory.
The gun, the ice cream, or the other one? ; )
Exactly, and RDS has no personality or Reagan’s ability to connect to people.
The people behind RDS will keep that from happening. LOL
In 1984 Reagan even won Hawaii. No Republican since has won Hawaii.
DeSantis will not become the new Reagan, or even close, because I predict he won't win the primary to become the Republican candidate, at least not legitimately.
The RINO GOPe do hate Trump. Oh and also leftists, they hate him a whole lot.
but he is not [sic] hateable, like Trump.
This is what everybody (you?) stuck on stupid hates:
Trump accomplished more for America in one 4yr term than any President in your lifetime.
Yeah, a good thing our last republican president never does that.Except, unlike Saint DeSantis, he can back it up with facts.
I am paraphrasing for brevity, your complete post is a few lines up for those who missed it.
In my opinion, as a huge Reagan fan with Newspaper articles and letters from the Reagan Whitehouse to prove it, your argument does not ring true. Although there are certainly major differences in style, President Trump is the only Republican since President Reagan who has had the charisma to energize people in the way that he does. I do not always agree with President Trump or his mannerisms, but different times require different styles. The primary parallel however is that both President Trump and President Reagan cared deeply for their fellow men and women and the United States of America and communicated this better than any other Republicans in the last 50 years.
It is interesting that you call President Trump's comments about getting the United States out of the Ukraine conflict in 24 hours a “whopper”. It brings up another odd parallel. As I recall President Reagan made similar comments about the quagmire that Carter had gotten us into in Iran. He faced similar criticism and ridicule, but on January 20, 1981 the hostages were released.
As long as the right people hate Trump, is all that matters.
