Would the Gipper Endorse the Donald?
TownHall ^ | 6/29/2016 | Roger Stone

Would Ronald Reagan endorse presumptive Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump? Former Congressman Mickey Edwards, an early Reagan supporter, thinks not. I think, on the basis of all available information, that Mickey Edwards, good fellow that he is – is wrong. President Reagan would have endorsed Presidential Candidate Trump. Here’s why.

Reagan, in whose 1976, 1980 and 1984 campaigns I worked, like most party conservatives often sucked it up and supported Republicans he didn’t see eye-to-eye with. Ironically conservatives begrudgingly supported elitist establishment candidates like McCain and Romney in sharp contrast to establishment Republicans like Nelson Rockefeller, William Scranton and yes, Mitt Romney’s father Michigan Governor George Romney had no problem bailing out on Barry Goldwater in 1964.

In the case of Mitt’s stunning betrayal of Trump who endorsed and recorded multiple robo-calls for Romney it is clear that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

The lie comes easily to Roger Stone, but he is right here. Reagan would support Trump because Trump loves his country and HRC does not.

Reagan would support Trump because HRC would march us towards a Communist state with her type as dictators and Trump will not.

He would support Trump because Trump has the right enemies.

I am amazed that any and I mean any republican could support Herself. This is not just another democrat. This is the Wicked Witch of the West Wing and almost certainly the most evil and vile person to ever run for President. George Will, Bill Kristol and the rest of the idiots even contemplating supporting Her need to get their heads out of their collective A*% Holes. JMHO.
