More From David Remnick

Even if people aren't republicans, it doesn't seem shocking to them that ronald reagan was the president. well of course, because arnold schwarzenegger was the governor! this is not only a bar too low, this is no bar at all. i don't care who you are, you know 20 people smarter than ronald reagan. you know 20 people who would be a better president than ronald reagan.
People President Would Be
Donald trump is doing well. trump is shocking everybody. he's shocking the democrats. he's shocking the republicans. he's shocking world. contrast what's happened here in just the last three days with eight years of barack obama. we have had no apologizing. we've had no bowing. we've had a president of the united states actually tell the heads of state of countries where terrorism is rampant to get rid of it, to drive it out. we've had a president of the united states directly confront iran where his our previous president threw everybody else overboard for iran.
Country President World
I just find this interesting that ronald reagan was regarded much the way donald trump is except reagan was governor of california. he had run for the nomination the republican party in '76. but he was laughed at. they thought he was dumb then. they thought he was slow minded and dim-witted back then. they thought he couldn't speak. they thought reagan - amazingly, a guy that later became known as the great communicator - couldn't speak.
Running Party Interesting
Thanks to nbc news and thanks to the nbc primetime tv network, donald trump has been in living rooms for 11 years being who he is. the donald trump running for president is not an unknown quantity. the donald trump running for president is the donald trump everybody's gotten to know, and quite a lot of people watch those donald trump tv shows, the apprentice and whatever else on there.

I see a comparison between the two [ronald reagan and donald trump]. peace through strength. what chris matthews don't grasp is that day donald trump gave a speech in which he said he's going to build the u.s. military up to ronald reagan levels.
Military Two Levels
Back in 1980, the conservative movement was all-in for ronald reagan. once reagan won, they all wanted to be on the team. it was a landslide. everybody wants to bask in that glow. and then as the reagan years began, then the republicans, certain members of the party began to individually fall out and start talking about problems they had, secretly telling the media they thought reagan was a dunce and a danger to world peace, adopting the democrat line that reagan's finger on the nuclear button couldn't be trusted.
