And Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican nominee, praised Reagan on Twitter and Facebook, saying on both that “God and Ronnie have finally welcomed a choice soul home.”
“With the passing of Nancy Reagan, we say a final goodbye to the days of Ronald Reagan,” Romney wrote on Facebook. “With charm, grace, and a passion for America, this couple reminded us of the greatness and the endurance of the American experiment. Some underestimate the influence of a First Lady but from Martha and Abigail through Nancy and beyond, these women have shaped policy, strengthened resolve, and drawn on our better angels. God and Ronnie have finally welcomed a choice soul home.”

Former President George W. Bush and Laura Bush also mourned Nancy Reagan, saying in a statement that they are “saddened” by her death.
“Mrs. Reagan was fiercely loyal to her beloved husband, and that devotion was matched only by her devotion to our country,” the 43rd president said.
“Her influence on the White House was complete and lasting. During her time as first lady and since, she worked to fight drug abuse and raise awareness about breast cancer,” he said. “When we moved into the White House, we benefitted from her work to make those historic rooms beautiful. Laura and I are grateful for the life of Nancy Reagan, and we send our condolences to the entire Reagan family.”
Former New York Gov. George Pataki tweeted, “Nancy Reagan always gracious and strong – without her America would never have known President Reagan. Rest in peace, united once again.”

I have serious doubts about Donald Trump’s ability to negotiate on behalf of the American People, when he seems to have only his welfare in mind. His recent statement on health care reform tell me that he does not understand that “The government will pay for it.” means that the American taxpayer will pay for it.
Trump is not the only one. So are Bernie Sanders, an Iraqi war vet congresswoman from HI who resigned from the DNC. Both are anti-Wall Street leaders who support the Second Amendment.
I LOVED THIS WOMAN, SHE WAS A STALWART SUPPORTER AND VERY MUCH IN LOVE WITH HER WONDERFUL HUSBAND AND LOVED THE USA WITH ALL HER HEART. MAY SHE REST IN PEACE ALONG WITH THE LOVE OF HER LIFE, AND MAY DONALD J TRUMP BE ELECTED TO CARRY THE TORCH FURTHER!!
he leans to the left will compromize with the dems and establishment repubs and wilol not uphold the constitution and he is a total blowhard and is totally stuck om himself
I’ll bet my soul that there was never a time when Nancy Reagan, as First Lady, said that she was ever ashamed to be an American, like the current holder of that position.
He said he is going to legalize marihuana in all of the states in the U. S.
He is an all around Great personality !! He has shown that he can and will be tough when the need arises and he also brings a sense of class and dignity to the office of President of the United States of America !! We need a President that needs to be flexible but also remind our enemies to back off ! We need someone in office that has learned his business lessons in school and in real life, that can take his expertise to turn this country’s financial woes, back around, and, make our “Country Great Again” !! And, that, somebody, is President Donald Trump !!
My gut says he would put all our concerns front and center if he is elected.
No bullcrap , straight forward no nonsense american , and he’s not a lying politician like most of them,(ALL)
He has proven to be a leader. Has a lot to gain by turning the country around. A lot to loose if the country continues on its present path. Many of us are in a similar situation. He certainly cannot be as bad as what we presently have.
Trump is a business man the others are polititions and part of the political machine on both sides
He knows how to invest! And he is for the people! And not for the polititions!
He has the guts to lead, he pays his own way, he owes no one, there won’t be any favoritism down the road, he’s a proven successful businessman, and he takes no crap from anyone! All leadership qualities!!
Dr. Ron Paul isn’t dead
would’t it be awesome to have him as VP?
Trump is not great he is an egomaniac and loudmouth
Nancy and Ronnie had CLASS. Trump is a bully and while he says he’ll make America great I believe he is as much a tyrant and ‘my way or the highway’ leader as Obama. He brags about his ‘partners’ taking the loss when his companies fail. I don’t think I want someone like that leading America
We no longer have an adult generation that is proud of this country, who have patriotism that we had that ended when we went and interfered in Viet Nam. In wars before then we were protecting God, country, home and family; Now it seems none of this is being done. Donald Trump is trying to make this country care again, have jobs, if you are a :foreigner” and want to be a citizen, do it the right way, like my ggrandpa did. That way you are not worried about being deported, plus your taxes that isn’t paid now, will build a better world. Trump tells us this is what he represents. I believe him.
Has great ideas and can’t be bought off like those dumb asses in Wasington
He isn’t a politician and owes no one!
Only one we can trust
Look at all the cheating lying and corruption from all the test
That is very clearly evident. Sad but true.
Donald Trump does not identify himself as an American who has given a large portion of his life to public service and the American People. Rather he, by his own statements, says he has been a politician for less than a year. That does not in any way compare to the lives of Ronald and Nancy Reagan and to try to make that equivalency is dishonest, vulgar, and embarrassing.
I disagree because, like her husband, she was primarily an actor, not a politician. Her husband was one of the very worst presidents since WWII. The only good ones were Eisenhower, JFK and Jimmy Carter, and Carter was lambasted in the press after he got the warring sides in Palestine to sit down at the same table for a peace process. Carter brought us solar panels on the White House, irresponsibly removed by Reagan. Carter was an energy expert, having served as the nuclear officer on a submarine. Reagan merely promised to do what the rich wanted.
The rest of the politicians are sold out
Trump is the biggest egotistical con artist who is bullying his way with the American public. He talks out of both sides of his mouth, has no idea about politics and would be 10x worse than Obama if he was elected! I fear for my country.
Mr. Trump lacks any basis for comparison with Nancy Reagan; she was above and beyond anything Mr. Trump has demonstrated.
I hope he is elected and obama put in JAIL along with hillary
We need person who is like George Washington who is servant of the people and is close to Heavenly Father who is our creator. Who is prayerful and obey our Creator. Who follows the orginal intent of the constitution. Our Creator inspired the men who the constitution. If follow orginal intent we well brcome an ideal society with few lawa
No one can fill Reagan’s shoes…Both were one of a kind.
TRUM BE CEARFOOL.BE STROUNG,DON’T GIVE UP.
As an immigrant to this country and and a military Veteran of 3 wars, I believed in Ronald
Reagan’s democratic principles but not on Trump.

I don’t feel Trump is a good example of a true American Patriot – he may have some good attributes but to be the best example – he falls short.
Because he can not be bought like the rest of them on the Hill can. He has had the courage to stand up to them and show them for what they are. They try to knock him down with lies and he proves them wrong time after time. He does NOT have any political background!!! I hope he is who he says he is and hope he has the foresight to see that Ben Carson should be his VP for they BOTH have STRONG points which compliment the other. They BOTH believe in the Constitution and what it stands for. Like the 2nd amendment to mention just one. Together they would make one Hell of a TEAM and that is what our country is going to need. A STRONG TEAM and a country of WE the PEOPLE to stand behind them to turn things around that Obama has put us in. I know I am only one person but hope that other’s will see the ‘LIGHT’ and know this is the path that we LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS need to take if we ever want to see the light again. TRUMP and CARSON in 2016
I don’t know if he will be the last American or notwe will have to wait and see abut that. I think that Ted Cruz will be better.

Because I believe Ted Cruz is the only true conservative Republican in this race and He is who I am supporting for President in 2016.
Donald Trump personifies the american dream as did Ronald Reagon
