“The most important thing to them is that Trump seems to hate the same people they hate,” Ron Reagan says.
The son of former President Ronald Reagan believes Donald Trump’s political base is so consumed by hatred for the Democrats that they would vote for Vladimir Putin to be America’s president instead of virtually any member of that party.
“They really aren’t in touch with reality. The most important thing to them [is that Trump] seems to hate the same people that they hate,” Ron Reagan told Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s “Hardball” on Thursday. “That’s the real Trump derangement syndrome.”
On the other hand, they like the people Trump likes, Reagan said. Russian President Putin’s popularity is rising, he noted.
“If it was left just up to Trump’s base, they would elect Vladimir Putin as president of the United States over virtually anybody with a D after their name,” he added. “If Trump seems to love Putin, they’ll love Putin, too.”
A revved-up Matthews groused that if President Barack Obama had committed an antic like one of Trump’s, he “would have been keelhauled.”(continued)

Reagan’s son would pick any Democrat over any Republican.
What idiot made the choice Putin or a Bolshie?
In 2011 Michael Reagan said this about his brother:
“Ron, my brother was an embarrassment to his father when he was alive and today he became an embarrassment to his mother,” Michael Reagan posted on Twitter.
“My brother seems to want [to] sell out his father to sell books,” he added in another tweet.

I’ll say this about Ron though. The man can give a speech just like the Old Man.
What a punk this dumb as-kid is. His father would dis own the garbage collecting, trash mouth, who cannot make it on HIS OWN.
I see the resemblance here, but in this case the apple fell very, very far from the tree.
Where is Happy Thinking going to go?
I guess I agree with Ballerina Ron for the first time ever. I’d pick Putin over any Democrat.
Dude, go iron your tutu.
She had the full support of the CPUSA...
Rehoboam wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, either.
Well, yeah, pretty much.
Me too!
Ronald Reagan failed as a father.
NOPE the kids failed him
Agree.
Those who know Ronnie Reagan in Seattle’s Magnolia District, I am told, are not that thrilled with his haughty character. I get that information from one who has connections.
Ok, name me a modern democrat with a bare scintilla of a chance that would literally be a better choice than Putin. I’ll wait...I cannot think of a single one. All democrats share a passionate hatred of America, white skin, and heterosexuality, and families. At least that is not true with ol’ Vlad.
Had I been in a class with a black named Obama I’d recall the guy/girl.
Well, Putin is a conservative than most Democrats.
Well, Putin is more believable when he says he’s a Christian than any Democrat I’ve heard of lately.
