Ah...I suspect you may be mistaking Michael Reagan with Ron Reagan, the ballet dancer and poofter who made a career on Leftist shows talking about how his father would have viewed this or that.
Michael Reagan was, I believe, a very solid conservative who idolized his father.
Yes, Michael Reagan is the sane conservative one and Ron Reagan is the braindead lefty useful idiot.
The poofter and the other girl are Nancy's kids.
It was so sad losing Maureen. She died the of cancer of the same type and
location which also killed Eva Cassidy—melanoma behind the knee.
When I first heard about this movie, I could not believe that Ronald Reagan was being played by Cousin Eddie. Like SuperLuminal, I got brothers mixed up.
Yes, the two kids Ronald Reagan had with Jane Wyman, Michael and Maureen (now deceased) were staunch conservatives. I believe Michael even had a conservative radio talk show for a while.
The younger two kids, (Ronald and Nancy’s offspring) Patti and Ron Jr. are loudly leftist.
