[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] :) chat gpt pp poster here. Just ran the following prompt for the GOP, but since the party is so compromised by Trump, I asked it who would govern like Reagan....thoughts?

"Below are ten living Republicans who could plausibly govern like Ronald Reagan today—not in nostalgia or slogans, but in actual executive behavior: optimism, delegation, institutional respect, coalition-building, pro-alliance foreign policy, and governing without grievance.
These are people who have demonstrated Reagan-style governance traits, not just talked about them.

Most plausible Reagan-style governors in practice

Larry Hogan
Best modern analogue. Executed Reagan’s core governing method: reassure the public, avoid demonization, govern pragmatically, keep rhetoric optimistic while focusing on outcomes.

Charlie Baker
Reagan’s managerial model updated: high trust, low drama, coalition governance, strong delegation, public reassurance during crises.

Phil Scott
Reagan without theatrics: calm authority, refusal of culture-war politics, steady executive tone that lowers social temperature.

John Kasich
Reagan-like moral optimism and pluralistic language; governed from conviction without cruelty or grievance.
Reagan-style seriousness + institutional loyalty

Mitt Romney
Lacks Reagan’s folksiness, but shares his restraint, internationalism, and willingness to absorb political cost to protect institutions.

Jon Huntsman Jr.
Reagan-Bush diplomatic realism: pro-alliance, globally fluent, calm executive temperament.

Mitch Daniels
Reagan’s discipline without showmanship: focused on fiscal stewardship, governance over performance.
Reagan’s norms-first governing instinct

Condoleezza Rice
Reagan worldview embodied: institutional respect, American leadership without belligerence, competence-first governance.

Lisa Murkowski
Reagan-style independence: willing to defy party to protect democratic norms; governance over populism.

Susan Collins
Old-school Republican institutionalism: cautious, stabilizing, norm-protective—traits Reagan relied on internally.

Why these people could govern like Reagan
They share Reagan’s governing method, not just ideology:
Lower emotional temperature
Delegation to experts
Optimism without denial of complexity
Institutional loyalty
Coalition-first thinking
Comfort losing elections rather than breaking norms

DCUM posters, how did it do? [/quote]

Any human with a live pulse not named Trump or Biden will be a major upgrade from the stinky rubbish that has occupied The White House since 2017. [/quote]
