Has anyone who have seen Trump's words and actions believe that he will be the greatest president that the GOP will produce since Ronald Reagan?

The best that we can hope for is that the next president won't be any more evil than his or her predecessor.
Khagler is stating there is no difference between Trump or Clinton. Both are not fit to be president and neither is Obama for that matter.
It reminds me of the 2000 election when Al Gore and George W. Bush were both running for President. I decided not to vote because one was just as bad as the other. I was wrong. Gore might had gone to war in Afghanistan after 9/11. Going to war in Iraq? Not likely. If he did there would had been no Abu Graibh torture. Whether the economic bust would had occurred is up in the air. But certainly no Cheney running things in his first term.
If you want another example try the 1991 campaign of David Duke to be governor of Louisiana. G.H.W Bush and the rest of the GOP spurned Duke. The GOP today gave their support (fealty) to Trump. that might end up fracturing the party after this election.
