I view him in the mold of an Eisenhower Republican as do a growing number of republicans (see article), but he and Ronnie also have quite a lot in common as evidenced by the video. Either way, he's hardly the flaming radical that the far right would like to portray him as. Matter of fact, if you listen to him he makes a lot of middle-of-the-road sense.

IMHO he is much more like Eisenhower. Reagan was more rhetoric less action.

Given the two choices, I would have to say Eisenhower.

Yes and it's completely biased. A Huckabee supporter may as well show an article from Red State or Fox News.

Bernie is very similar to Hugo Chavez. I went to college in South Florida, so I have a lot of friends from Venezuela and even though they are all Democrats, they see too many similarities between Bernie and the leader who is destroying their home country.

Their financial policies are as follows:


Eisenhower: Sanders
as
Reagan: Trump


If you think your life was (or would have been if you were alive) better during the Eisenhower years and the decade after, vote for Sanders.

If you would like to pay more taxes so that you can supplement the CEOs, Hedge Fund Managers, Trumps, Clintons and Bushes of the world, as we have been ever since Reagan was in office, vote for Trump.

Oh, good grief. You have it exactly backwards. Scandinavian and European countries tax regressively (middle class and poor bear the greatest tax burden), provide more and better social and safety net programs, and have less income inequality. The following links explain why regressive taxes are necessary to enable the latter two to occur.
