Ronald Reagan’s Son: My Dad Wouldn’t Support Trump

Posted on 06/08/2016 7:24:52 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Monday saw many of Donald Trump's fellow Republicans express their displeasure at his comments about Judge Gonzalo Curiel, whom Trump says can't make an impartial ruling in a lawsuit involving Trump University because of his Mexican heritage. Newt Gingrich called his attacks "inexcusable," and Paul Ryan said the comments are "based on reasoning I don't relate to." But the GOP front-runner also received a rebuff from beyond the grave from one of the most important Republican figureheads of all time: Ronald Reagan.

Okay, so Reagan didn't actually manifest to dissuade voters from supporting Trump — instead, his son Michael Reagan expressed his doubts about Trump via Twitter. "I will not be voting for Donald Trump tomorrow in the California primary," he announced. He went on:

This most likely would be the 1st time if my father was alive that he would not support the nominee of the GOP @Reince @newsmax — Michael Reagan (@ReaganWorld) June 6, 2016

Michael if you weren’t his son, he would never had supported you. I suggest ballet slippers and a tutu in order to dance with your brother.

Maybe we can cut Mike a little slack, he had a stroke & a heart attack back last November, maybe it has impaired his thinking.

Yep, RR always maintained his cool, and brilliantly defended with inoffensive, dismissive bias exposing quips.

The Master.

Ronald Reagan would vote for Trump.

What’s going on with Michael’s brain?

Trump wants to build a wall, deport illegals, is a strong Second Amendment supporter, wants to cut the top tax rate to 25% (lower than Reagan), build up our military, fix the Veterans Administration, bring back jobs from overseas, etc.

How is any of that liberal?

"Ronald Reagan had the 80/20 rule. Now, it’s the 100% on my side, or I’m not with you at all. We have to find ways to embrace people and to be inclusive."    Michael Reagan

Michael Reagan is a lying hypocrite for saying those words then denouncing Trump.

Trump will disappoint. Whether he can/will do anything about the border remains in the future. Trump is apparently for bothrooms. Though way better than H->!, he is no Conservative. FR is a Safe Zone for Trumpster is The Savior thinkers.

‘Trump is a lib’

As confirmed by the impressive number of well-known liberal backers who have spoken out in support of him?

I hate it when people say how people aren’t here anymore would vote. We don’t know if Ronald Reagan would support Trump or not. He isn’t here to tell us!
